    Thanks Dan,Kev, Julian, Beefy and Guy matey's. Well the rest of the carronade's have arrived and so its mass production time, 'well six of them'. Working on the rigging and have the base on with the plaque coming tomorrow. So were well on the way to finishing this 'for me' very exciting build, have learnt a lot for my next one. A picture of the overall work so far. Will not be adding any sails to this, but did think of putting the Gaff sail on!!!!.'Later'. Still to add the anchors/one boat to stern, standard flag and some more rigging. foxy

    A change of plan yet again, but only with the gun arrangement. Two 32 Pdr Carronades and Eight 18 Pdr carronades. For the 32s I have reduced the truck thickness. Sanded down the lower trucks and stand. Sits much better. Just waiting on Cornwall Model Boats for the six remaining 18 Pdrs. Near finished the ratlines. So nearer to finishing once a friend of mine has procured the wood for the base. foxy

    Today two 18 Pdr carronades arrived from Cornwall Model Boats. So it was to these and the ratlines I concentrated on. I am also adding two 4 Pdr Cannon. Primed the cannon and painted gloss black, later will use Admiralty black . Made up the trucks and added eyelets from Dafis etched parts. Then made up the 4 pounder cannon. These will have KGV motives added later. foxy

    Thanks Dan,Beefy,Bugle07 and many others for your Interest. Again its a change of direction on this build, by removing the 32 Carronades and replacing with 18 Pdr carronades. Also have most of the ratlines inplace. Picture shows the empty space and I have added planking to the gun apertures. next I fitted the shroud cleats to the upper shrouds to tie off the top yards. These are Dafis etchings,(some usefull etchings still for larger ships). Like the eyelets etc. Tied down both Gaff booms till ropes attached to stop them flapping about. I then looked to the bows and have added scrolls etc, these will be painted gold and black. So first the gold. This needs doing before anchors can be put in place. An overall picture of the build up to date. Once I have all the carronades it will not be long to finish the rigging/flag. I also need to sort out a brass name plate for the base. foxy

    Cheers Dan mate.. Well the ratlines are taking time to do, so in between them I have been looking at some different Carronades for this ship. Settled' I think', on some 18 Pdr Carronades, just waiting for Cornwall model boats to send a sample. But in the mean time I have also got two sets of the 12 Pdr carronades for my next wood build. Could not resist a go at two of them. Added some extra's. foxy

    If you don't want to make your own then RB do some nice sets of ships wheels. Very nice Kev. That looks the ticket. foxy

    That has made it come to life Julian. Those tracks by fruil are a pain that's for sure, but I have found you have to drill them out what ever vehicle your doing. Good luck mate. foxy
