Hi Karl, although it looks nice, i am not sure about the "painted windows" i have the feeling that i will cut these out and use a Acetate sheet as in the victory. apart from that she is looking a neat ship, keep up the good work. current builds

hi alan,good luck with the windows,I didn't think that the design would incorporate see through windows too well,as the side windows are also solid lumps of white metal which I presume will the same light blue.

Hi Karl, Yes seen the side windows which i have drilled out and filed to shape, i know there is nothing inside such as decks etc. but since i have not yet started the build i will add some deck area. i suppose i am lucky i did not start from the beginning and have stored all the parts so i know most of the pitfalls thanks to yourself and others. i would expect that you may well have done something similar in hind sight, knowing your fantastic attention to detail. all the best current builds

Hi Karl, your sarcasms getting better with age, i agree i picked my copy up about 10 minutes ago and couldnt believe what we are doing this week... it will take the whole week to complete this especially if i make cups of tea every half hour or so . might just plank the rudder to make it last longer current builds

Hi Karl. The Endevour is looking great. I noticed the rudder seems to be made static, don't like this, am going to try to make it a working rudder. Turn the ships wheel, rudder turns (wish me luck on that one) Want more pics and tips. Current builds: The Victory (of course) The Endeavour The Bismarck Lancaster Bomber And any model kit that catches my eye Everything from 1/35 military to Godzilla and anything in between. Oh and a suit of armour. ( yes real knights armour )

didn't care for the wood supplied or the method of fitting the tiller,reducing the tiller down to 2mm.x2mm. far to weak,so I made another from wallnut 4mm. x4mm.and the used a cocktail stick for the end of the shaft.much better.
