ISSUE 137 I received this issue today, and there are 2x 32 pounders included, my question is where are the Breeching Rings on the part between the Cascable and the Barrel? and they appear to be 24 pounders not 32 pounders  Regards Mike 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.

No panic, the cannon are drilled and the breeching rings added to the cannon in issue 138.
Cannon size appears about right for being 32-pounders, though we won't be receiving any 24-pounders, as there are no 24-pounder gun ports either side of the entry port.

MWG wrote:Hi Team,
While building this model, I wanted to have more accuracy in the build and I planned some enhancements, but in order to have these enhancements for myself I need 10 members to also want them, so we can get the best price and the product together.

1) FULL SIZE MAST WITH STANDARD RIGGING.
2) 1/72 SCALE COPPER TILE PACK.
3) 1/72 SCALE BOARDING PIKES.
4) ENHANCED CANNON KIT.
5) BLACK COATED STEEL CANNON BALLS 2mm in packs of 250.

Graeme Hi Graeme, Just a line to say the photos will be of the actual product, I will fit a mast to my X Section in due course so all the members will be able to see the finished product before they commit past the deposit stage, I want everyone who has supported this project to be totally satisfied.

THE STAND MODIFICATION While I am waiting for the Full main mast with standard rigging, I have been doing bits and pieces, the stand is nearly finished, I sheathed the ply pieces in 1 mm x 5mm walnut, I propose to finish it with danish oil, unless you guys have any suggestion. This is a great model with lots of scope for enhancements,Andy has done a fabulous job of enhancing his build, Good stuff Kind regards Mike 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 Mike, as usual job well done. I think Danish oil will really bring out the grain and make it look great. Rgds, Hans
