Good evening. Thank you very much. True story about so much to learn and I’m certainly learning as I go with this project. Been a tester no doubt. Cheers Grant
Good evening Gunther. Thanks for the compliment. I buy my blocks and rope from Drydock models. The quality is first class. Cheers GrantHey Grant,
I'm really pleased that you've started work again. I'm just like you, I only build something and detail it if you can see it. Your tiller is amazing. I am simply fascinated by your construction method.You have my respect!
I have one quick question: where did you get these great blocks?
Best regards
Günther
Thank you Maarten. One day when I’m big I hope to build like you do.
…….only Stephan….Don't drink and write, Maarten
Thank you Kindly Dean
Good evening everyone. Before I finish and install the rudder system the cannon ports need to be completed…..just because I will break the rudder while cutting.
Some more ports :
Of course my mind wonders and suddenly a ships stove is also under construction:
At some point everything will start to come together and WIP will become finished goods…..just not yet.
Cheers Grant

Thanks Paul,Peter,Daniel and Rebus. When I started the stove it looked like a fun part to build. It became rather finicky and the larger brass parts did not blacken very nicely. The brass also did not take my solder. I wanted a different look to what I got however it is still pretty cool. Cheers Grant

I know the digression thing only too well! Really lovely oven. Makes you want to cook. How about you cook and I bring the steaks? ...
Best regards

Those photoetched parts really bring the resin to life, but hey, nothing magically assembles itself into such a fine-looking stove! That’s all down to your skill, patience, and a touch of magic from your workbench.
Good evening. Thank you kindly Gilbert. How is your Victory coming on. Cheers Grant
Good evening Roger. Besides the stove my progress is a tad slow at the moment. Winter is here and I have been a little lazy with life at the moment…..not a bad thing. Cheers Grant
Hello Gunther. I’m not sure we would have decent steaks coming off my stove…Hey Grant,

. I am particularly bad bouncing about when I build…..I have a partial ship with only WIP parts…..I feel sorry for the guys following my builds. Cheers Grant
Thanks Jim. The kit definitely provided the photo etched brass to make a decent stove - Kudos to CAF, but it turned out pretty difficult and fiddly to get reasonable. Cheers Grant
