Hi All The replacement parts have arrived so the stern bulwark capping's have now been added and this months build commences. The hinges have been added to the rudder and the bow railing added as per the instructions, Im currently cutting out the rubbing strips as needed for the metal cannon port surrounds and then i can finally get some varnish on her. More soon. Regards Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi Andy, Just looking at your post and I must say that the colour of your planking really dose give a great appearance top work again, as with the rudder,looking at the Bow Railing did you cut all of them by hand. Regards Trev. Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

Hi Trev Thanks for looking in and your comments. The planking is the bare wood with around 4 /6 coats of Danish oil [ Natural] but its a little too shiny so will be toning it down with a coat of Matt varnish. As for the bow railing there all cut by hand from the supplied 4 x 4 mm Ramin supplied there are still 18 more of the top section to cut that go along both sides of the bulwark capings on either side at the bow but i will be using pins and drilling holes to fix these in position.

Andy That bow railing detail looks fantastic. Very consistent cutting of the tapered tops to the posts - do you use some sort of jig to get this so exact? Happy modelling Tony Happy Modelling

HI Tony Thanks for looking in and your comments. I dont use a jig of any sort I just cut them by eye with a safety razor blade, it works pretty well most of the time but i do get the occasional cut wrong    Regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Andy Thanks for the update on those rail posts. You must have a very keen eye (wish I did) as these are simple brilliant. I cannot even seen to get the 4 sides of one post correct let alone half a dozen. A beautiful build you have there - many thanks for sharing Happy modelling Tony Happy Modelling
