Good morning. This is soooooo good!! Cheers Grant
Finished installing the upper deck guns.
Finally, I installed the decks, poop deck and forecastle. I am engaged in re-drilling 2 mm blocks from Falconer with a 0.4 mm drill bit, for strapping guns.I liked holding the blocks with reverse tweezers.
Great job so far!View attachment 385291View attachment 385292View attachment 385293View attachment 385294View attachment 385295View attachment 385296View attachment 385297View attachment 385298View attachment 385299View attachment 385300View attachment 385301View attachment 385302View attachment 385303View attachment 385304View attachment 385305View attachment 385306View attachment 385307View attachment 385308View attachment 385310

What a masterpiece! Splendid in every respect and a wonderful tutorial as well as setting the bar very high! A pleasure (and not a little humbling) to behold. 
Good morning. I am with Peter here. This is brilliant. I enjoy the approach you took with the waterline and the differing wood appearance below the waterline as well. You are building a beautiful rendition of the Vanguard.Cheers GrantWhat a masterpiece! Splendid in every respect and a wonderful tutorial as well as setting the bar very high!

I have another exacerbation. The end of the copper plating. I looked at the price of copper, decided to take it to the metal receiver.
Do you mean you sold the copper plates after taking them off the hull?
How much did you get for them?
This is a joke. I am preparing the bottom for painting with white paint, for a long time I could not decide to peel off the copper, but after applying the drawings on the sides I was sure that the white bottom would be more correct.

Two plastic models come from the USSR. I was 12 years old when I glued them together. I offered to throw them in the trash, but my niece said: "Let them stand."

I'm glad you listened to your niece!
The construction is not in a hurry, but it continues, in the summer there is little time left for the ship.
Stunning!
