Hi front moved along lil bit further .and first chainwale attached. Which i pinned for extra strength, could not get brackets to sit off wale below. So i redrilled hole above one that was in them, and filed to remove exsistin hole this made them shorter to fit against hull.

Hi thanks for all your kind comments. I managed to find couple more old pics of me copper plain .I used Caldercrafts 1/64 scale plates.i know they over scale , being 5.5mm wide and 17mm long . But I think they look okay. There approx 2000 of them all stuck on individually . They are oxidising over time which I like .

Hi thanks for all your kind comments on my build . Just quick update , added few more deck details. And more work around bow area . The blue yellow strips were painted onto 1/64 ply, before gluing to edges of formers had the advantage of covering up gaps there to , where rails sit in slots. Presently still doing chainwales . Painting the links bit of pain. Oh well get there in the end. Some of the staining done to my own taste, ie the steps. And capping rails . Be the bowsprit next, and finish the yards me not started, happy moddelling cheers mick mogwai attached the following image(s): Builds hms victory, suzuki gsx 1300 R hayabusa, honda C B 750, lamborghini countach L P 500 S, tamiya 1/16 rc full option tiger 1 tank,
