Hi everyone, I thought I'd post some photos of my build so far!  Here is my version of the cabin partition; based on some photos I took on a visit to Portsmouth last year. One has been oiled to show the difference. I also bought some o.4 clear acetate to use as the windows, which I might also use on the stern later.  I built a deck over the stern gallery to give at least something to look at if I'm using clear acetate, its very dark in there so I think the level of visibility will be just right.  Painting the end of the cabin at the poop black:  Fitting the poop deck:   The poop edging strip will be replaced by 4x4 walnut when I next go home to work on her; I used the supplied strip as a guide to fit the inside bulwarks in, but its not fixed in. Thanks for looking at my build. I will post more photos after I have done some more progress. Regards, Tom

Looking nice and tidy Thomas, is there any way you could re-post the partition door picture in a larger size, it looks really good, but I would like to see the detail better Come on you Jimmies

Are they really small on your computer? Cheers, Tom

Nice looking model Tom. I agree with Saintsman, the images are on the small size, about 50x35mm. Double the size would be better.

I resized them to 640x480 so hopefully (!!) that will be better. On my screen they are tiny but clearly something is wrong at my end!
Hope thats better,
Thanks a lot,
Tom

Hi Tom! Great work mate! like the detail, a little tip as you have now closed the decks in at the gallery area put some masking tape over the ladders in the upper deck grates or if you drop a small part down there it will take an age to get it out!.

Thanks for the comments everyone! I'm back home again later today so I can check if the canon shot has successfully been installed or not. Unfortunately some were dropped down  but when the model is static it wont matter. I varnished them in, is this the method others have used? I'll post more photos sometime shortly! Also, I was wondering; the inside bulwark bit near the poop edge (where the curve was made with the coin) - will this have an internal bulwark strip fitted, as I was thinking of adding them but wasnt sure if it would alter any later additions? thanks again, Tom

If your meaning the curved space on the inside, then its unlikley as part of the instructions, as this part has been completed.
