THE GALLERY I have decided to paint matt black on the bottem deck and area of this section,as the "heads" were port and starboard on the bottem deck of the Gallery, I thought it made sense I will fit appropriate floor coverering on the deck above,with some subdued lighting, plus I like Trev`s (Tf64)table and chairs MWG attached the following image(s): MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Hi MWG, Your model to me is a fine example of how it should be done,like me you are still working on the gallery but I know it will be worthwhile in the end.I have layed floors and added bits here and there and will light it up as yourself,but still a long way back from the forum. Regards tf64. ps: can you tell me the size off the pictures you put into put into Photobucket ? is 640x480 correct. Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

Hi Trev, I do not use photo bucket I keep all of the photos in my laptop. I plug in my camera, the photo wizard comes up, I have always the top highlighted (copy to a section of the computor) I then copy the photos to a particular album on my computor. I then go to Micosoft picture manager (on my Computor) choose the album on my computor where I have stored the photos, and then resize them to 800 x 600 have I made sense? I hope this helps MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Hi Trev Thanks for your nice comments by the way. I will take forever with this build, I want to get it as accurate as I can, although I do realise there are limits, there are some great builds from some really good people, and I am learning from them every day, there are so many enhancements I want to do, the ships wheel, the binnicle, and other ideas I have in my head, most of all the Gallery enhancement. S o B has done the best gallery build so far,but it is still not right, the balustrades spoil it for me, we need an accurate gallery kit and I am even more determined to deliver that. If it takes 4 years to build my Victory so be it. Your table and chairs is brilliant, I will be using that idea, if thats ok Trev? can you show me what you have done with the gallery decks? Sorry If I have gone on a bit, I am so passionate about this build MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Sorry If I have gone on a bit, I am so passionate about this build I am in the same mindset as you... I will be making some considerable changes to the cabin area issue 57 in the next 2-3 weeks to improve the accuracy. i am scrapping the supplied cabin bulkheads and replacing with scratch built adding the doors and windows to the correct size and adding the pillars. There is also a raised cover for the steps behind the wheel i will be adding that. there is a lot of detail missing that is easy to fabricate at little cost. Still thinking about how i improve that horrid chimney  “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

That's fantastic build MWG. I like your improvements and I can't wait for the gallery mod from you. Looking at the boarding spikes set I'm sure it will be top quality. Can't wait to see more pics.
