its been about a month since I could last check in on this build, and I am really surprised with both the rate of progress and also the detailing that is shown.

fantastic work KenBigGrin
Happy Modelling

Hi all well getting this one back in a sorry state, went down to feed the birds and empty the bins this morning. Rolf tried to take it to his house in frinton yesterday, didn't even get it out of the hall broke lots of oars off the anchor post lots of railings, a lot of the rigging is slack so he's busted something there as well, he thinks I will just go down with a tube of superglue and stick it all back on, not that simple a lot of the guilding was pulled off when the oars and railings came off so that will have to be redone(a real pain as lots of bits were stuck on after the guilding ) I will take some pics when I get it home.

Not good Ken, especially after all your hard work and attention you put into this. Will be interesting to see what damage has been done and what you can do about it. Never good having to re-do something but sometimes needs must..... Will be watching and good luck with the restoration....Cool Cool

Ok so I've reguilded the damaged guilding and the actual damage is not as bad as I feared the worst bit being he broke one of the side arms off and I cant find it anywhere os will have to try and scratch one(those canons are tiny, maybe a stretched sprue or a matchstick in the lathe, it's also now missing one of the flags (which I also cant find) nothing I can do about that so will just touch up the paint where it was snapped off .
here is the damage.

Ouch, sorry to hear about your mishap. With the experience and dedication you have put into this model I'm sure that the repair will be just as good as the original. Best wishes.
