Haven't been by this thread in awhile. Some nice work, Glen. Really like the cannons and have to come up with something to use your plug method on. Looks like that might be a good method of doing the grill shell on vintage cars.

Thanks Whulsey the method would even lend itself to body panels, many applications, I like that the planking can be seen on the inside which looks right to my eye, and is fun...

Wow there are so many build threads going or, it's really a long time since anything to report, but Ann was on page 5! Amazing!
Anyway, not much building time presently, but have made slow progress to eventually rig the lower foremast, not ready now to do so but have to put in belaying pins and some rope coils and attach the now rigged guns you see and prepare for the anchor chain to wrap around the windlass, ect, but I think my initial attemps at deadeyes may be too large, am trying to decide to spend the hours remaking them or press on, the model in the Addison museum is similar to mine with regards the deadeyes but other models appear to have smaller lower shroud deadeyes with the Hong Kong museum model having them much too small, scale size is slightly generous but notably easier to construct (drill out holes without splitting them) note that deck details and masts still fully removable at this time

She's such a beautiful ship, Glen...so glad to see this progress report!

Not sure from the photos if your deadeyes are out of scale; rule of thumb is they are about half the size of the diameter of the mast they are used for, usually just a hair over 1/2 the diameter is perfect...so, compare those dimensions and you should be right on the mark....

Cheers!
Jim

Hi Leif and Jim
Thank you Leif!
Jim many thanks that rule of thumb I didn't know and will assist me, just what I was looking for
Thanks also for the kind words it is fun to work on a model that pleases the eye
as long as I'm not too lulled to be happy looking at it as is, definitely have miles to go...does not seem daunting though this time as slowly press forward, enjoyable modeling....
