Hi all. This will be my first build log and will be of my 3rd model ship kit. I started this build back about a month ago and have only now thought to do a log. Not many photos have been taken up until this point. I will post the photos that I have up until today. I will then update you all as I go on to another step. Feel free to ask any questions or comments regarding the build, where I can improve etc…
Regards

Welcome. Very good start. I love your finish (varnish, lacquer?). You have a nice table work bench too.

Thank you very much. The finish I have on in the pictures is a teak varnish but after all the wales have been painted i plan to give the whole model a coat or two of clear spray lacquer to seal the paint.
Regards

Good evening. Looking good. Lovely ship and makes an impressive model. Good luck and enjoy building her. Cheers Grant
 
Good day all.
while waiting for the final coat of varnish to dry, i went looked ahead in the instructions. by the looks of it, the deadeye chainplates are connected to the bulwarks by only glue. This troubles me somewhat because will the glue alone be able to support the tension of the shrouds? any ideas how to improve the structural integrity of the the deadeyes chainplates. further more, the mizzen mast deadeyes seem to be inserted into the deck and also relies on glue alone to keep it secure. Thoughts?
Regards

Good morning I put couple of metal pins (dowels) in pieces 102 and 103 and drilled holes in the bulwarks. Hope this helps, model looking really nice. Have a good weekend

Thank you very much. Thanks for the advice. I think i worded the question wrongwhat i wanted to say was the wire of the deadeyes.
Kind regards.

I use a couple of sewing metal pins, it works perfectly. Good work !
 
The hatches are done ( i will only put in the eyebolts and rings after varnishing the deck ).
I also finished one of the deckhouses. I lost the doors so i had to improvise…. They are almost like a kit of their own.
Regards
