Don, your build looks really good.
THANKS ALL, HAD TO ORDER SOME BLOCKS SO I CAN RIG THE GUNS AND THAT WILL BE IT. WONDERFUL LEARNING EXPERIENCE, JUST STARTED MY FIRST COMPLETE SCRATCH BUILD THE LE ROCHFORT BY OUR MEMBER GERARD, WILL POST SOME PICTURES SOON HAVING A PROBLEM WITH CONFIRMING SOME THICKNESS DIMENSONS. Don
finally completed the guns, and I am finished, I want to thank everyone on SOS FOR ALL THE HELP I RCIEVED during construction especially MIKE41, WHAT A GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE, now a word about rigging the guns, i tried for 3 days to rig the guns the proper way NO GO, not that i did not understand what to do just the fact that age caught up on this portion, as my eyesight is not what it once was, using 7mm blocks just could not see how to do it, using larger size blocks just would not work rather then leaving it empty i opted to use JIMS ADVICE AND DID THE BREECHING LINES, i think it looks OK
I think they look good, Don!
THANKS DOC AND MIKE, REALLY LEARNED A LOT ON THIS BUILD< IT GAVE ME A DESIRE TO DO A TOTAL SCRATCH BUILD LE ROCHEFORT, BUT I NEED HELP. THANKS ALL Don
Great Job Don! I can't wait to try my hand at it only in 1/48. We'll see how it goes, I will be referring to your build and others to learn from. Once again, great job.
Congratulations on your accomplishment! Another great experience, and a great model!
Good Job Don.
THANKS ALL FOR THE GREAT COMENTS AND THE LIKES, HOPE TO PUT THE KNOWLEDGE THAT I GAINED TO GOOD USE, THE BEST THING I ACOMPLISHED IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE LOWER DECK AND THE MAIN DECK, A GREAT DEAL OF IMPROVEMENT THERE, it is my goal to improve with each build that i do even a slight amount. THANKS TO ALL SOS MEMBERS WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THIS PROJECT. Don

Hello Don, Great job you have did on your Blandford Cross Section, make me wish that I had started mine. But alas my Admiral talked me out of it as she prefers to see the whole ship, but then again it gives one a very nice view of just how these ships were built, as for now it is on the back burner, ENJOY.
Regards Lawrence
