La Toulonnaise 1823 - French schooner - Billing Boats 1:50

I built the hull for Toulonaise way back in 1993 when working in Malaysia but shelved the project on returning to the UK. Now, 33 yrs later and back in Malaysia for the rest of my retirement, I am continuing. Have just made up the cannons as per photos. Going to start on the masts next.

Will follow with interest if you have a log for your build.

And an update my ship still looks exactly the same as the photos on the previous page. :(

Hi Richie,
I attach the following:

Photos of the list of items included in the accessory pack.

Photos of accessory items already added to my deck.

Photos of the remaining items to be fitted.

So far I have only fitted the larger items. I doubt whether I will be able to manage all the rigging. The fittings are tiny!

There is no instructions with the accessory pack. Just the stuff in the main pack manual. I presume you have that. See cover photo. If not I can copy for you.

Thank you so much for going to the trouble of providing these.
I have purchased a few accessories individually and had a guess at a few parts from other suppliers.
I plan to try and use some left over parts from other builds as well because I don't want to spend too much on this build.
Why don't you scratch build you may ask, my skills and tools are not up to that standard so will compromise and do my own thing in some areas.
Yes I have the full instruction set from the main kit.
