The Black Pearl by Greg92 - Hachette - Week by Week

[Greg92]

Hey guys the name is greg I'm from goldcoast Australia and this is the first ever build I've done which is the black pearl I've already have issues 1-3 and will be getting issues 4-7 this week I know that people on different sites don't agree with these type of partworks but the way I see it is that I get distracted very easily and with the 120 spread over 120 weeks I should be able to complete this I've been watching YouTube and have Been following Callum's build (06callum06) which has been very helpful so if he sees this thanks mate. I'll be starting another build probably next week which is a titanic week by week by deagostini which I was able to pick up all 100 issues for only $350 all unopened

So if any 1 has any hints or tips please let me know cheers guys thes are some pics of what I've done

Yes I know Brian I was very luck I think that I was able to get it. I have waited for it to arrive for 2-3 weeks now and have finally received it to day everything is all in original packaging unopened although I've only got 1 binder. would any 1 know how I can get more binders from. I opened the last magazine and found out people were able to get a stand for it aswel so if any1 could let me know it how to get 1 of them aswel would be very appreciated

Hi Greg.

Welcome to MSW.

I started the pearl but hatchet part works failed to deliver .

My advice is to stick with the instruction's step by step.

Add or replace if you want to make improvements.

The size is nice and makes into a fine scale model.

 

Regards Antony.

Hey guys I'm doing part 4 at the moment and found that there is a gap between the rib and part number 15 on both sides just wondering if any1 else has this aswell or I've stuffed up again cheers

[AntonyUK]

Hi Greg.

Are you talking about the 6mm gap each side in part 7 if so that's OK. Part number 16 fits in here.

This gap is used to join the stern and the bow section together.

Look at page 6 .drawing 16 shows the 6mm gaps.

I lo e this model

[Greg92]

Hey guys wow it's been 3 months already been busy at work and with family so I'm currently wait to receive my next shipment ( issues 20-23) hopefully be here on Monday ( december01) I had a problem with issue 9 where it was broken so I had to wait for a replacement and issue 11 was out of stock so I had to wait for that as well so I've received all issues up to issue 19 now but stil waiting on replacement of issue 9 I've painted my model with black stain called walnut I've just got to finish the cell walls then I'm done but luckly I still have them I prepaird them ready to paint then went to bed as I'm a baker so I sleep during the day. My room mate decided to clean my desk and chucked out the cell walls thinking that they were rubbish so I had to dig through the recycling bin

Hi Greg.

Nice to see your still building her.

Nothing gets wasted is a good tip to tell your flat mate. EVERYTHING is wanted. NOTHING is scrap.

 

Regards Antony.
