Thank you for the warm welcome to your community; I live in London and am building HMS Fly by AMATI.
My build started in 2011 and I have only completed 25% of the build; my wife says it has been value for money! I have adapted the model kit so it now includes the Great Cabin, Stateroom and Coach Cabin. I am also providing Fibre Optic Cables for the lighting which is being included in the Great Cabin and the Firehearth in the Forecastle.
My build is a little unconventional, as using Fibre Optic Cables they must be planned how they will fit into the build from the very beginning. Should any member be thinking about doing this, and if I can give advice from my own experience, I will do my best to help.
Also included is 1:64 scale furniture built from scratch, and fitted into the cabins. These will be able to be viewed through the Quarterlight and Stern Windows, and the ninth port and starboard Gun Ports.
I will be fitting both the furniture and gun carriages through the deck with Polyamide thread; this will ensure a positive fixture to the deck.
As my build is continuing, so I will forever be learning, and I am hoping I will be able to learn much from member’s through reading the forum posts.
Many thanks to you all.
