I think breaking frames is part of the ritual....  :D  :D :D   Nicely fixed, I must say.

Yep! happened twice already but seeing as the frames wont be seen makes it a bit easier to just fix it and carry on but of course accuracy is key. hopefully the last time!  :)  :D

Hello guys,

 

sorry for not update in my log for so long. New changes in life have had me stop working on this for at least a while and new ideas.

 

I've had to stop as a new job doesn't leave me much time and also a change in living quarters leaves me not much space and isn't very ideal especially if im making lots of noise, so im putting this log on hold for a while until i figure something out.

 

Another possible reason for stopping is so i can use what stock i have of wood for a future build, potentially looking to buy chris watton HMS victory and doing some interesting work on that, new job doesn't pay much so saving up what i can.

 

I'll come back to this log eventually and do a few updates maybe.

 

Regards, Peter

I am sorry to hear of your troubles Peter.I am kind of stuck in limbo myself,until we get moved I cannot get properly settled down in to any of my builds.

My best advice would be to store the model safely in the meantime even if you have to knock up a solid box to put it in.The time will come when you can throw yourself back into the build.The most disheartening thing is to have a part built or complete model damaged when moving things about.

 

Kind Regards

I attach patterns to wood with ordinary Elmer's paste sticks - school glue.   Patterns adhere very well and are easily removed by wetting then rubbing them off after a few seconds.  Stick glue is water soluble so any residue is easily removed - and there is no annoying bottle brush to deal with.

I'm just curious Peter, have you been able to do any more on this ship?  I'm a bit stumped on the bowspit.

Hi Mark,

 

Unfortunately i haven't been able to do any kind of modelling recently let alone work on this model. I'm planning to start again if i can plan my situation a bit better, but i haven't done much more on this model.

 

As for the bowsprit, depends on what kind of trouble you're having, might be able to help. Otherwise, have you seen Dmitry Shevelev's build of this ship on shipmodeling.ru?

Thanks, Peter.   I do understand about things getting in the way.   

 

I think I got my answer with some creative Googling and his build is (I think) one of the ones I picked up on for the bow.
