HM Brig-Sloop Speedy by Stuka - Vanguard Models - 1:64

Back on the horse

This is the 2023 special version of Vanguards Speedy which comes with some extras as copper plates and machined walnut blocks which look very nice so I hope my rigging can do them justice. 

Here are some photos from the content in the box, Now my workspace is limited so I couldnt fit all the material but here is most of it.

 

 

 

 

 

Then we have the fittings 

 

 

 

 

The machined walnut blocks is another world apart from the normal blocks like that I got on the Sherbourne so im very happy about them. Entering this kit I now know how much time goes into just a little rigging and two ratlines. Therefore im sort of dreading it when I will eventually have to attach all the rigging on this one I suspect it will be quite a challange one which I hopefully can tackle. 

Now onto the building

Assembling bulkheads is the first order of the day

Well one thing led to the next and suddenly I have assembled alot of bulkheads along with supporting bulk/ deck beams.  I also glued on the lower deck.   

 

So far the Speedy is much bulkier than my Sherbourne and it keeps getting bigger. Not even all the bulkheads are attached yet so it will be exciting to see how big it becomes in comparasion.
