harlequin Posted June 13, 2018 Author #215 Posted June 13, 2018 before and after the repair....not brilliant but better than it was yesterday. needs a final sanding... Jobbie, Rainbow, kier and 3 others 6 Quote
harlequin Posted June 22, 2018 Author #216 Posted June 22, 2018 well its amazing how suddenly a model seems to change character and start to resemble a finished product....not that I am anywhere near that yet but there is a little chink of light that seems to be emanating from the end of the tunnel. Will post some pics later of progress...a lot of niggly little bits have been added which helps. The hull is slowly getting there. Jobbie, Old Collingwood and Canute 3 Quote

Not sure these will be the final colours for Bellona just happy playing about... Edited June 30, 2018 by harlequin add text Old Collingwood, Jobbie and Canute 3 Quote
Busby Posted June 30, 2018 #220 Posted June 30, 2018 Hi Harlequin, wonderful job. It has inspired me to persevere with my HMS Fly. I have just started my second planking and will strive to make as good a job as you have. Fine work sir. I also see you have to be in for the long haul, no five minuite jobs here. Hope for us all yet! Canute, Old Collingwood and Jobbie 3 Quote
harlequin Posted June 30, 2018 Author #221 Posted June 30, 2018 cheers Busby.....long gaps occur during my builds.....Bellona was left alone for almost 18 months then suddenly I get a spurt on.....I have ready for the off corels HMS Unicorn and Endeavour....once I move onto the masting and rigging I will start one of the others.....more than likely Unicorn.
