[steve-h]

Hi George sorry that I have not replied sooner life's been a bit hectic here ,between the twin granddaughter's and life not had much time. I phoned Hachettepartworks  yesterday to moan at them, as issue's 4-7 are well late and they told me there are having supply problems .so at moment I am   twiddling my thumbs,Dominic you still need that Figure head  m8.

Regards Steve

Hiya Steve,

 

Glad you posted, I sent them an email asking where my next dispatch was too. Been 6 weeks since my first one.

 

On the flip side, they have sent me an entire replacement for issue #2 complete with, this time, an intact figurehead. So thanks but I'm ok now, am sure there will be others who have damaged ones though.

Hi Dominic I am glad to hear you got the figurehead ok ,I will keep it just in case others need it. I keep looking at that German site thinking what should I do with the pearl base. I bought a skull in some Hippy shop in town , but it needs painting I will post a picture of it soon.

Regards Steve

haha that's just an act trust me.

When I was younger my best friend was a goth and he had a great sense of humour, and a previous relationship had a daughter who was emo...who had something that could be described as a sense of humour but it was rather warped and sometimes inappropriate

[steve-h]

Warped and inappropriate sounds a lot  like my sense of Humour .

 

 

Hi all its been a while since I last posted Hatchette are 7 weeks behind with deliveries

could someone tell me if I  need to add in fills to the bow section, and how do I go about  it please.

 

thanks

Steve

Hi Steve.

Yes you can fill the Bow section if you want...It will make the planking better.

I use balsa blocks the same thickness as the gaps between the bulkheads.

Dry fit first and mark both sides to show the excess to be trimmed off.

Trim off the excess leaving a little spare to be sanded later.

Glue them in place. And sand the contours.

Hatchttepartworks is a pain. I still have only got parts 1 to 3. Not happy with them.

 

Regards Antony.

I started my subscription today as the part work kit was only launched in SA on Monday 16 June 2014.
