Also Czech. I had a Czech neighbor when I was a kid.
I may well have to do the second planking up to this point, but I have several guns I have to install before I can plank above them. The third through fifth guns from the right will be partially or fully covered by a deck.Hey Vic,
As you know I'm no expert but it strikes me that you want to finish the hull (and by that I mean the second planking too) before any guns are installed. You will never be able to sand the planks with guns in the way. Or maybe I misunderstand what you are planning...
Hi VicHere’s a picture. I’ve got a total of 10 complete guns with carriages going under decking. It will be difficult to place them after covering 8 of them with the aft deck. The forward 2 won’t be as hard to get to. And I can’t finish the hull above the guns before I attach the deck. I know @Gilbertm and @paulb did it somehow. I must have missed it in their builds.View attachment 255565
I don’t think so! You’re on the final lap!Hi Vic I can't believe how much progress you've made it'll be finished before mine.
Looking good VicTwo carriages for under the deck done. I’ll get the rest tomorrow and rig four of them. The rest won’t show. View attachment 255905View attachment 255906
I totally understand. These will not be seen under the deck very well. I don't have the tools to make my own, unfortunately. I know you prefer to make your own. I can probably make these to look more like French carriages. I also would like some bigger wheels for the front of the carriage. I have nothing to build them with.If I were to go back to the beginning of building the model now, I would throw these cars to hell.Make yourself normal French carriages.
