Daniel

thank you Daniel, just hope can do you wonderful resin parts justice, now received your block set and your level of detail you put into your replacement parts is amazing.

More progress Hull together finnish fitting coper tape to join, did wear out rivit tool shaft but well worth it and first deck in with guns, gun detail enhanced (not all done as there not visible but did get carried away adding etch) with Daniel Fischers etch set, eyelets fitted to Hull interior for gun riging.

This is coming along great, Pete. I like the colours you have used, much better than the stark yellow and black one usually sees. Regards, Pete in RI

thank you, used Humbrol 61 flesh (near equivalent to Revell 35 Flesh Matt Acrylic 36135) (there is a difference in flesh colour if you look at interior picture upper is 63 and lower deck walls is Revell 35) and Revell 09 Anthracite Grey matt acrylic 36109
these colours were advised in one of reference books I have, hope that helps `

 

[europapete]

Yes, thank you. Am collecting quite the library on the ship, and ship modelling.

More progress, hismodels wood deck, dafi etch additions, may have glued this deck 5mm to far forward so will have to elongate mast holes so they sit correctly

 

[Peter R]

Bit of gun rigging done, not complete yet bit happy so far

 

[Peter R]

2nd deck guns all fitted happy with result getting top deck in without wreaking it all will be fun I think

 

[Peter R]

About ready to glue top deck in place, may have to remove a couple of gun pull back pullies as didn't acoubt for stairs going down but that's easy enough, happy with how it's progressing.

 

[Peter R]

More done about done with securing guns down, top deck in started with additions with Dafi etch and resin extras, the gun cleaning rods and buckets, how he prints off the twin spikes at 100 scale is amazing

 

[Peter R]

More progress, all guns fitted, now onto hammock holders and netting,

 

[Peter R]

Hammock's and netting in place, little bit to Tidy up on them, used heller hammocks, put a slice in them, and rope around them im ok with result.

 

[dafi]

Nicely done, congratuations!

Thank you Dan, you have done a great amount of work to make sure it all fits together well,

 

[Peter R]

More progress all lower blocks and etch retainers fitted all round, chain to rudder, quite like it in brass so may leave unpainted mast mounted pikes fitted to fore and main mast.

 

[Peter R]

More work in progress, started on main mast rigging, takes a while but actually find it relaxing.
