Very nice John, love the work on the gallery. If you redo the window frames I would indeed go thinner if that is feasible. In a picture it always looks simple untill you have to do it.

Thank you Maarten for the nice comments, I still have to catch up on your plank on frame build, I have been struggling these last few weeks, I had a double cortisone injection in my left shoulder and it is steadily coming better and I also had to have a cortisone injection into the palm of my left hand, that one really hurt but the hand is getting better, I guess I am just feeling a little bit on the down side but that should turn around soon.
Sorry i am rambling on a bit.

I hope you had a great Christmas and I wish you all the best for a Happy Healthy and prosperous New Year,

best regards your friend John.

I bought this off Face Book Market Place just three or four streets from where i live, all 135 issues and contents are there, I paid AUD $500, the man that was selling the kit said he did not have enough time to build her, all he had managed to do was the basic frame work, see below,

All these Tools are new and never been used they all came with the ship and also the six containers in the last pic,
a lot of these tools i will be selling, so i think I ended up with a great deal, now I just have to keep my hands off
for awhile, OK thats long enough,

These are some pics from the net of a built Sovereign of the Sea's, I do not know who to give credit to for the model or pics all i can say is that he or she has done a really great job of building her and if mine comes out as half as nice I will be pleased,

Hi John,

This is the Sergal kit, not the Deagostini one.
There are deagostini kits build here in the kit section which are bashed. With some bashing she will change into a great model.

Thank you Maarten for that info, I will go look at the ones in the kit section,

best regards John.

Hi John,

See here Kurt's project

HMS Sovereign of the Seas - Bashing DeAgostini Beyond Believable Boundaries

HMS Sovereign of the Seas - Bashing DeAgostini Beyond Believable Boundaries - by DARIVS ARCHITECTVS Well, I just finished La Couronne and its display case a few hours ago, and swore that I would take a break before starting another project. That didn't happen. On to Ship #2. Research on...

I have been running low on these plastic cocktail forks, I originally bought them 40 odd years ago when building my model of the Prince,

I had made a mould and had cast some extra's but have been on the look out for some more, well my luck came in and a couple of weeks ago I managed to buy another 66 of them so I should have enough to see me through,

Well I thought it was time to get back onto the Royal William, so here we go,

I have started attaching the window frames to the rear galleries, I'm still not certain whether i will glaze them or not
there is a lot of gilt painting to be done and I might wait till that is finished and then see if I can glaze them after the
painting, lots of trim and other bits to add yet,

These new mini drills are realy great for the light stuff, i havnt had chance to try them on any heavy work yet,

651.jpg
and three pics of the windows i have attached, still needs a bit of filling and sanding yet,
