  1. Great old kit this one Jon as it happens I have one in the stash but I built another years ago. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235029185-e-boat-at-the-dock/ You might want to have a look at this ship-craft book and be aware the aft depth charge rack is wrong in the kit most early S-Boats had the deck mounted roll off type like the photo below Stay Safe beefy
  2. So much detail there John excellent rigging. Stay Safe beefy
  3. Yes a long term build but I have been distracted by other projects 🙄 Beefy
  4. Figure painting looks very good Stuart coming along a treat that is. beefy
  5. Small update this has been held up by a small mishap not on the model but my trusted Optivisor of nearly twenty years I broke the head strap clip so had to wait to get a new one. So rigging the mast is on going now I can see where I am putting the Bob's Buckles and the Ushi thread. Still away to go yet but slowly getting there. Stay Safe beefy

  7. Great work Tim those extra detail sets are really raising this build. beefy
  8. It is great to get out doors and view some beautiful countryside fresh air good for the soul and mind. beefy
  9. My Cheat for port holes is using an HB pencil it gives a dark sheen when you swirl the point in the hole. Coming along very good Jon beefy

  17. Some very nice details on that bridge. beefy
  18. Pascal this should get you some information but let me try I can visit the Discovery museum sometime this week when I will be in town on some personal business. Stay Safe beefy
  19. So this is what my clever painting turned out like not so clever but it does show some variation on the coppering below the waterline. Started by adding stripes of masking tape then using a post it note I then used that as a mobile mask moving along the hull using Mr Colour metallic Bronze Green to create a variation on the plates. Then moved the masking to cover the already painted areas then Bronzed again Then a light coat of the Mr Colour Copper I borrowed this idea from @Michael M remembered him doing a lot better job of this on his great Danton build Stay Safe beefy
  20. Great build that rigging must have been a nightmare to work on. beefy
  21. Should read Newcastle not New castles Another River Tyne built ship Pascal will follow along as usual. Peter Hall of Atlantic models does a photo etch upgrade set for the Frog kit he might be able to help with some information regarding the plans for this ship. Stay Safe beefy
  22. Now that is one big model looking forward to your progress on this. Stay Safe beefy
