Hi all

 

Just a little update.

 

Port and starboard have been partly first planked.

 

Cannon ports have been located and cut out.

 

Dummy cannon supports have been cut and painted with two coats of thin black acrylic.

 

Next up is clean the lower deck and place and glue the cannon dummy supports.

 

 

Denis.

Hi All

 

Just a little update ha ha.

 

I have started gluing the dummy cannon supports in on the lower deck.

 

To get the distance from the inside of the hull planking.

I made a little template ( ok it's not that good but it will do ha ha ) .

 

I cut a square out and the part that is nearest the hull planking is the line that will be the back of the cannon dummy support blocks.

 

I just put a pencil line along that edge and glued the block on that line.

Hi Denis,

That is a clever idea to build that jig.

A neat idea on the blank placement, Denis.  And a new avatar I see.

Hi All

 

Some time ago I was looking at the cannon door hinges and they looked a bit chunky for my liking.

 

So I purchased a photo etch kit for HMS Vanguard.

 

I would like to thank Brian C for his help and info.

 

Denis.

Hi all

 

Just finished fitting the middle deck.

 

Although they fitted before the planking went on, I had to take some off the sides to make them fit again.

You HAVE caught up! Crumbs, I think I am only two weeks ahead of you, despite several months head start!

Very nicely done, Denis.  You seem to like the big multi-deckers. :)  ;)

Hi Mark

 

Yes I do like larger ship builds.

The only thing is finding a place to put them when finished :D;) ;)

Hi all

 

I would like to say something about Euromodels.

 

But before I do I wish to thank KeithW for his post on his "RW" log.

Keith had a part missing 11247 he asked Vince, Brian and I if we had that part in our kits.

I did look and I could not find it, I also could not find parts 11248 or 11249.

 

I contacted Euromodels v the web site and ordered the parts.

I received 3 e-mails of them, the first said thank you for contacting us we will be intouch in a day or two.

The next day I had the second e-mail saying the parts that you requested will be in the post in a day or two.

The next day ( today the 4/2/2015 ) your parts have been posted today.

They are not charging me for the parts or the posting to New Zealand.

 

So I take my hat off to Euromodels not just for sending the parts for free but also for keeping me upto date with what was going on.

This is what I call sevice.

 

Not like another kit manufacturer that I will not name.

 

Denis.
