harlequin Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share #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.

Busby Posted June 30, 2018 Share #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, Jobbie and Old Collingwood 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harlequin Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share #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.
