It looks great. My build is collecting dust. Then I lost my password to lock in the forum and the results is obvious. I am collecting issues but too lazy to continue. I have othe projects that also need my attention. "Rather try and fail than had failed to try".Sovereign of the Seas Model Space forum: Marcel's build

You must make time to continue the build, I'm feeling lonely in SA! Regards Kobus

I haven't had some time with my build for the last two weeks,  , due to work constraints! Received my next four issues yesterday,  and my rotary tool free gift! What a nice compact toolkit! Thanks De Agostini! Kobus

Hi all A month since the last update!  I completed the bottom half of the hull planking, happy with the outcome.  I fitted the aftcastle pieces and the dummy support beams.   I bought myself the Proxxon FET saw and replaced the supplied 1.5 mm blade with a 0.5 mm tungsten blade for the fine cuts. I also got the Proxxon MF 70 miller.   I started playing around with the gratings as most of the people said that the 2 mm supplied gratings looks out of scale. I milled some 1 mm maple planks with 1 mm spacings. My first attempt of the gratings! . Still some practise required.  Happy building all Kobus

Regards delboy271155 (Derek) Hi Derek Thanks for looking in and the nice comments, much appreciated. As a lot of material is not readily available in South Africa, I decided to take the plunge and cut/make my own. Regards Kobus

The tools are quite expensive, but I'm sure they will last a life time and be worth much more in the money it will save! Regards Kobus

The progress was very slow during the last month, but as it was already said, this is not a race! The Proxxon tools are so handy, I must be careful that I play too much with it and not doing any building work! Regards Kobus
