cheers steve , I was never going to use the plastic one , I was just amazed at how bad it was , I'm building a wooden one at the moment . the fires are all around mate , they no sooner put one out and another pyromaniac starts another , I think the smoke is starting to chock new zealand out now , be glad when it rains .

I don't know how I did this , but I managed to splash 2 part epoxy all over the hull , easy fix but shheeeshh .

It's looking good so far Steve. Have you considered a wooden stand instead of the wonky plastic one?

I hope you're no where near the wildfires.

Hello!

Looks like you know what you are doing!

Those old ships have very interesting looks to them IMO - and give you many chances to show off your detailing skill with all those masts/antennae/lines.

Thanks for sharing, good luck with your build and have a nice day

Paweł

my new project the borodino . it's a lot smaller ship , look's a fun build .

the hull halves weren't that great a fit , alot of gaps , but nothing a bit of bog couldn't fix .

the hull halves , weren't that well pinned , I had to put a strip of styrene in to help align them
