Hi all here is todays efforts. The rear galleries should be open (in fact even on the boxart they are open) so I've cut them out(very nail biting as one slip and I could have ruined them) now I just have to do the floor on the 2 galleries.

Really nice work. The gold looks great to me, far better than any paint would. I take it that it survived the unfortunate drenching?


Cheers

Thanks, yep, put the parts on the radiator and when dry they cleared just a bit of staining on the transom.

Hi all here is the next update, I wanted to add some detail to the cannons which can be seen so, after a great suggestion from a member elsewhere on how to make them I made some eyelets for the tie down ropes.

Hi all here is the next update on this.


Made a little jig for putting the tie down rings in the same place every time.

Thanks, of course it does make the build take longer, just wish I was better at the rope work.

Hi all well this kit comeso with no anchors for the boats so I've knocked some up, also there are no oars, I've checked a few builds not of the heller kits and they don't seem to have any either, were they stored below decks or should they be there.

Sorry my build rate has slowed so much, but I get some done when I can fit it in and am not feeling too knackered.
