just for a bit of fun, Inspired by someone else on here, I thought I would use some bits and pieces that yelled out to me what they wanted to be.
-
Well I am so annoyed I thought I had some oars over and I had finished them but no, stupid idiot there are 32 PAIRS of oars, not 32 oars, now I have to order more of the steps to cut down for the handles, or I display it from one side only.

Hi all, well I'm deffnitley on the last leg with this one
this is half way there with the oars
just these left to do
every single oar has this huge mould seam on it, so thats just 32 to sort out
and here they all are with the seams removed and the white paint applied.
I really feel this is nearing the end now, once I add the oars it will be huge, no idea what I will do with it when done, I had my warspite dio in the local library, but now thats back due to the library re-utilising the areas and no longer having room for it (a polite way of saying no one was interested in it) so now I've got that back too. argh I have no room.

Well deserved win, and it's nice to put a face to the modeler. Great job.

Hi all here is tonights update, I've tried to do the cannon anchors and the ammo boxes.
also tried an experiment with the vac formed sails
which looks most realistic
-
Hi all didn't like the oar handle, too irregular, so browsing the net I found these, they are OO gauge steps (1/87) so near enough.
But as you can see they are too wide
so with my guage
I whittled them down a bit
cut to length
split
and with a little bit of fettling they will all look the same now

Hi all well here is an update on this build someone told me the clew? was missing, well apparently this is it (the loose flap of sail from the furled sail)in the first picture.
I've added all the cannons now as well.
-
Looking good, keep at it, are they cloth or vac form sails.

Hi all here is a little update on this one, I decided to try and improve on Hellers depiction of the oars handles
only 29 left to do.

It's moving on really fast. Great stuff, I saw some of those in pound land my missus thought I was going a bit funny when I bought them, told her I could see them being useful in my modelling, still not sure she believes me.

Hi all I've decided to do something different with this and it involves thisIt flickers just like a real candle and the other one is kaput so I developed a cunning plan so, off with the transomcan you guess where this is goingdrilled out the windowsthen removed the rest of the windowyes thats right I'm going to RC it, only joking, lighting up the state cabins.
-
Hi all a small update, everyone was telling me the sails should not be billowing in different directions, contrary to the instructions and the fact that the sails are vac formed and can only but put on that way, I decided to make sure its right I would do the fore mast sail furled.
-
It always amazes me what a coat of paint does to a model, looking cooool
-
We'll be waiting.

hi all well I'm as happy as a frog on a lilly pad the parts have arrived an idea can finally finish this build, thanks for sticking with it and giving me the enthusiasm to keep going. Hope you will all stay to the bitter end.
