greatgalleons Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share #121 Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) gluing the main rail, the lazer cut tafrail is a bit short, will have to fill in the gaps with some of the wood from the lazer cut patterns. all the gaps and nail holes will be filled in with wood filler.

md1400cs Posted December 18, 2013 Share #128 Posted December 18, 2013 AJ, Whenever I get emails noting an update from your build, I always wait to link-in until I have the time to spend properly admiring your build. Geez your work is soo excellent. Your skills also with paint, application, and perfect tolerances for borders is truly an art. A pleasure for the eyes. Its a though you have miniaturized the 1:1 Kudos to you. I'm really admiring this build.

greatgalleons Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share #131 Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) I've decided to place one carronade a day on the build so I can work on others areas. I doubt I'll be finished with the build in 18 days. it gets monotonous and strains my eyes. now to shaping the bowsprit Edited March 27, 2014 by greatgalleons lb0190 and edmay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptMorgan Posted December 21, 2013 Share #139 Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) I have been thinking of this ship for my next project. It will be my second one. I have been following your build with a lot of interest and have learned a lot. . Thank you for posting this build an letting us learn from your experience. Your work is very impressive to say the least. There is no way I will be able to match - or even come close - to your workmanship but it will give me a target to shoot for. What you are getting done in a day will take me a week. Thanks again.....

greatgalleons Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share #140 Posted December 21, 2013 hey there roadrunner, all I can say is study the pics from as many builds here on MSW and follow the instructions. but most importantly take your time and enjoy the build.

greatgalleons Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share #146 Posted December 23, 2013 hi kenr , I can see me trying to mount this built on a base with all the mast in place, I would snap one off for sure. This way works best for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
