er fifth you havn't seen my build on the vic? the coppering was done in cardboard and then I used the wheel for the rivots,http://forum.model-space.co.uk/default.aspx?g=posts&t=472&p=15

A lot of carving coming up, very small, the quarter gallery roof and base unit to do.

hi all, did some more deck furniture, quarter gallery,bitt rails, the bitt rails are very fragile and having great difficulty in keeping them in one piece. build time so far is 180 hours.

thank you del, continuing with the deck furniture, fitting the gun'alls bitt racks and mast bitts.

sorry I missed this post ian,thank you for droppin' in.

thank you all for the kind comments really appreciated. spent a whole day making up the bow cheeks,only to have to scrap and start over, painted wrong way round,however continued with the canopy frames, please bear in mind the thickness of the wire is .03mm. and then painted, very time consuming. 280 hours now on the build.

Very nice Karl, really like the green on the bulwarks too, it stands out well with the black and white
Steve

continuing on with the bow decoration,these were made of ply .1mm. pre-painted then glued to shape required.

thanks del, hope you are enjoying your builds too.
