shipaholic Posted September 9, 2014 #211 Posted September 9, 2014 Hi Ron Yeah good work, good to see you didn't follow the instructions with the port lids, they are meant to be flush like gunports, the instructions are a cop-out for simplicity.

popeye the sailor Posted September 9, 2014 #213 Posted September 9, 2014 looking good Ron......the divisions of wood grain and color is really eye catching. you did invite more work for yourself though, putting the brass on before the color.........just means that you'll need to be a biut more careful in painting. very nice jog so far ! kiwiron 1 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

Captain Slog Posted September 12, 2014 #214 Posted September 12, 2014 Looking really nice there Ron. Covers done the instructions were saying to mount them on 2mm wood but I think they look better flush as the replica is.Maybe leave the hinges etc brass or paint them black not sure yet. Personally I would have painted them or blackened them. Not a fan of bare brass but you are the Captain. Although like Popeye says going to be tricky painting them now they are in place. I only flush mounted the larger hatches, the smaller ones were 2 annoying to trim out so used 0.5mm so they didn't stick out to far.

aliluke Posted September 27, 2014 #223 Posted September 27, 2014 Looking really great Ron. A wee improvement you could try is to overlay the top edges of the standards above the channels with blackened paper or fine card?

aliluke Posted September 27, 2014 #228 Posted September 27, 2014 I mean the curved bits above the channels that reinforce them and attach them back to the hull (I believe they are called "standards" but I could be wrong). They appear to be plywood but maybe you intend to paint them along with the channel itself? kiwiron 1 Quote Cheers Alistair Current Build - On Hold - HMS Fly by aliluke - Amati/Victory Models - 1/64 Previous Build - Armed Virginia Sloop by Model Shipways Previous Build - Dutch Whaler by Sergal (hull only, no log)

kiwiron Posted October 7, 2014 Author #234 Posted October 7, 2014 Cabin chimney added also wedges to cannons and barrel steps with card.Cannon carriers not accurate for Endeavour so it matches the rest of the kit,at least the name is the same.To much for my skill level to add extra block tackle to the cannons only 10mm of room for 2 blocks hooks rope etc.Add some cleats now, off to work while they dry. riverboat, Captain Slog, maggsl_01 and 3 others 6 Quote Current builds: HMS Victory - Caldercraft 1:72 Completed builds: HMB Endeavour - OcCre 1:54 HMS Supply - Caldercraft 1:64.
