Fab Andy, capping look good and show me a modeller who would get all of these spot on first time round, am positive you'll sort out the couple of wonky ones..... Railings around the hatches in pin rails look fab, in fact the whole build is coming along beautifully.....  Regards Alan

Hi AR! this might seem a stupid question  But how are you using the cocktail sticks? drilling first? I have never done this before! David. Promise too much ...and many will be in search of you!

Hi David Not a stupid question at all my friend, Firstly mark with a pencil where the trenails are to go then drill them all out with a drill. [ I have a very small electric mini drill I use to do this, makes it a lot faster]. Then glue in the trenails by dipping them in your chosen glue and push home, leave overnight ,trim and sand. One word of advice on cocktail sticks some are made out of wood others are made out of bamboo ,try to avoid the bamboo ones as they are a pain to trim and sand. Hope this is of help.

Hi All Made up 28 cannon in one go, I didnt paint the carriages red as the instructions state as i decided to leave them as supplied. Then the ropes were added and linked to the brass eyes, any excess rope was then trimmed off. be careful to check the cannons supplied as i had one missing the end piece The cat heads and gold bracing blocks have been added as has another rail at the stern. Still have the rudder to fit and some more doing to the bow. The first of the dummy cannons have arrived the last picture gives an idea of size. More soon.

Hi Karl and Dave Thanks for looking in and your comments, as for the faulty cannon its down to faulty injection moulding when the cannon was made this sometimes happens Regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi All The rudder has now been fitted in place. I have then fitted the gratings and beakhead supports to the bow and finally the beakhead strips there are 2 more strips per side to add next month visible in the first picture above the hull. The gold i am using for the strips is from the 'Reeves Metallics' range of acrylic's.More soon .
