Greg Davis Posted August 23 Author Share #31 Posted August 23 Got a good start on one of the triangular bulwark structures today. I've tried to build in some of the curvature. Once this is dry some finish sanding will even up all the pieces and will hopefully have a nice look. GrandpaPhil and Ronald-V 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubac's Historian Posted August 24 Share #32 Posted August 24 3 hours ago, Greg Davis said: This is a wonderful offer! The castings I am most looking for are the 14 closed gunports (roughly 1cm wide) as well as the (8 cm) ship's boat. The capstan is also missing, but that I can recreate if necessary. If you do find them, we can arrange shipping etc. Thanks! Greg I will take a look around and see what I can find. I’m not optimistic about what you are describing, in particular. Most of what I remember was strictly ornamental: figurehead, fleur-de-lis, the big stern carving, the main lantern, and some other stuff that I don’t remember. Castings/pressings of what I have may be better than whatever iteration of the kit you have now. I’ll look and keep you posted. In any case - if I can find it - you are welcome to it.

Greg Davis Posted August 24 Author Share #34 Posted August 24 One triangular bulwark in place - one to go as well as the corresponding top rail. Seems to look better than what I could possibly do with the kit supplied pieces.

In a couple days, I can dig around in the parts box and provide a list of the Corel parts. I did not use them, since my build was heavily modified. I have most of the pressed fiber window frames, the ship's boat, the figurehead, the stern lanterns, some of the fleur-de-lis other decorations, all of the false cannon barrels and more. I can provide pictures later. Edited August 24 by DARIVS ARCHITECTVS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have the window frames (unlike you, there is no way I'm going to do all the work to open up and lighting he cupolas!), stern lanterns, and false cannon barrels.

Greg Davis Posted yesterday at 03:08 AM Author Share #38 Posted yesterday at 03:08 AM I'm planning to use the pressed fiber windows. Today I airbrushed the windows blue and am starting to paint the gratings and window frames by hand: ccoyle, GrandpaPhil, Hubac's Historian and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubac's Historian Posted 19 hours ago Share #39 Posted 19 hours ago I’ve had a look around Greg, and I can’t seem to find that box of castings. They may have been a revision casualty of our last move two years ago. Quote We are all works in progress, all of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
