kpnuts Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Hi all well it's been resurrected I've redone the woodwork, I figure if the Hermann Marwede is going to be in a seascape i may as well tag this one in with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lars_opland Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Hi kpnuts, the little sticky up things look like the top ends of kevel bitts, which would have been mounted inside the bulwarks rather than atop the rails. The one you showed looks like it's about where the main sheet should belay, & that was one of their common uses. This is looking sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 Hi all here's the next bit As an aside look what I won on eBay (last one went for 163 quid I got this for 40 quid) And my ten min wood effect 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killingholme Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 One of Airfix's finest kits in my opinion. Good snag- I've seen them go for silly prices.  I really want to build mine, bought new when the kit was last re-released (late 90s?), but I know if I make a mess of it I won't be able to afford another!!  Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 Personally I think the royal sovereign was their finest ship kit but hey it would be boring if we all thought the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Hi all well all the detail painting on the hull is done. I've glued the cannons on the sinking side as when it's attached to the base I think it would be very difficult. Added to the base, need to get some more Poundland bathroom sealant now for the sea 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnuts Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Hi all next update I was going to add some stays but Airfix would have you use the God awful plastic coated cotton ratline thingies so no hole through the crows nest Wish I hadn't added the main stays now as drilling out the holes in the crows nest will probably slacken them all off 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
