I have been trying to get hold of them but they are of stock just everyplace i have looked That's because they have not yet been released by Artesania. We will have them in the online shop when available. I will keep an eye open on the shop for them in that case. They look really nice from the pictures i have seen. Happy Modelling

Stage 7 The planking done so far now has to be sanded smooth, filling any dents or hollows. Fortunately I haven't needed to use any filler as yet... The inside of the main deck bulwarks also require to be sanded smooth and for this task I found cutting the rounded end off of a nail file ensured I could get down to deck level without damaging the deck in the process.. The kit comes with a template showing the ribs and gun port positions. Cut the two templates out and then cut out the gun ports. Using masking tape I then attached the templates onto both sides of the hull lining up the rib markings and the bottom edge using the measurements contained in the instructions.

Moved this build on a little further. Once the templates were positioned correctly the next job was to mark out all the gun ports and then remove the templates. Happy with the marking I then moved onto actually cutting out the ports, this I did by using a 1.5mm drill, drilling holes around the inside of the port edges ensuring I left a margin of error. Using a fresh blade I then cut the ports, cutting slowly so as not to splinter any of the wood especially on the inside of the ports on the main deck.. The last job on this build session was to tidy up the port edges using fine files and emery boards. The final clean up will happen when I come to fit the port linings.... This completes stage 7.
