Just another small update. I was a bit previous fitting the squares to the cannon ports made it too difficult to cut out the ports out after planking so I took them all out and will fit when the instructions say. I also jumped the gun with stage five a bit because I had some spare planks from a previous build and used those. eebygum attached the following image(s): FINISHED BUILDS---- HMS Victory--Bismarck--Battleship Yamato-D51 Steam Train--Pocher Ferrari Testarossa--Soleil Royal--Schnellboot S-100--StageCoach 1848--HMS HOOD-- Delorean (Back to the Future)

Hi guys Just a small update eventually got my Pack 5 and have now completed it. I did have a small problem with the brass supplied for the anchors every time I tried to bend it no matter how carefully it always snapped and there are only four strips issued with the kit. I did manage to source some 3 x 1mm brass strip of the internet which worked fine, in fact I have quite a bit left so if anybody struggles with the brass I could send you enough to do the four anchors just PM me. Anyway on with the build eebygum attached the following image(s): FINISHED BUILDS---- HMS Victory--Bismarck--Battleship Yamato-D51 Steam Train--Pocher Ferrari Testarossa--Soleil Royal--Schnellboot S-100--StageCoach 1848--HMS HOOD-- Delorean (Back to the Future)

Looking good, nice work. I've heard about the brass problem from others, have not reached delivery 5 myself yet, but have found a local source for the appropriate strips.

When Chris posts his build for Stage 45, you'll notice that he omitted the brass straps and created a the more authentic look of wrought iron straps on the anchor stock. I believe he used thin plasticard strip and metallic black paint as per the attached photo..
Additional strip is being sent to all customers that have received Pack 5 and additional strip being added into "stock" Pack 5's.Tomick attached the following image(s):

I was going to go down the same route as my victory for the anchors and use thread for the straps but as the brass was supplied and in the instructions I stuck to them. I'm not that experienced a modeler yet to stray too far from the written instruction.

Looking good Terry one little tip is to drill a pilot hole for the cannons before closing up the hull just in case one falls out as you can still get to them . I had one fall out on the San Felipe and it was a so and so to get back in place  hope this helps rgd Martyn Building ?
