Sounds good!  Now you just need to string some clotheslines for laundry as well ;) ;) ;) ;) :D

 

Nice idea showing a moment in time that isn't all rigged for battle, Kevin.  Coming along very nicely!

gun port lids progress, however, i went by the plans, but having the lids shut i have given myself to much hinge on the hull and getting in the way of the rigols, so slowly unglueing, trimming and replacing, not so bright out side today so not so much glare on the photos

 

all the best

Sorry Kevin, that wabbit would look better in a pot surrounded by onions and carrots, nice pot roast. :D

 

What are you going to do with the lids under the chain plates,? will you have them open fully. :huh:

Isn't it spectacular that the addition of only a portion of the gun port lids has changed the whole character of the build?  I love it!

Looking great Kevin. Is there a decoration missing on the stern? (I probably missed when you mentioned that).

Grant - it is to remind me that the stern is not finished

i taught myself a little tip today with regards to touching up the spray painted areas, as the attempt to touch up from the pots seamed well - naff, i have been spraying a 1 second burst into a little pot, - and providing you use it with 10 - 20 seconds- whilst still in liquid form, and a decent brush with some thinners hanging around, i have managed to cover up a load of stratches, knocks etc, and cut ends of the etched parts

oh dear

what is wrong with this photo

Posted (edited)

there are not enough gun ports , at least two short on the stbd side fwd, so this evening i have had to resort to rectifying the situation, hopefully, i will have some photo of the result

Kevin,

 

Are you sure about the gunports?   Back on page 25, photo: http://modelshipworld.com/uploads/monthly_07_2013/post-846-0-25777600-1373210833_thumb.jpg   I thought the count for ports was right.

fenders

 

the plans call for cutting all the wales or adapting the fenders to fit around all the bits and pieces, i chose this option

stbd side gun ports - the problem has now gone away, it was nerve wracking cutting the hull open at this stage, but it went ok the nery foward is a different sice to the rest of the middle deck units,

Nice fix on the gunport.  Can we blame some evil shipbuilding fairy for filling in the gunport when you weren't looking?

Yes, it was standard procedure to lash up the stun sail booms, as they were in the way

It was definitely Sjors, Kevin. Mobbsie saw him do it!!! :P :P :P

 

Nice fix on the gunports. Very nice work on the fenders too!

Posted

good afternoon, apologies for not getting back recently to the builds that i follow, Real life keeps getting in the way

 

i have sorted the two missing gun port problems out, and the lids are kind of ok, bit the fds lower deck one does not follow the shape of the hull very well - ie it is flat where as the hull is curved, they still  need to be touched up

 

the two after fenders are in - bit of a pain to get right, - i should off perhaps done it a lot earlier
