Hi Peter
Each update makes this look more and more impressive. Bet you're glad to see all those cannons done.

I still have another twelve to go

Finally in have got to the top deck and I have purchased myself some wood pigment and after an hour or so of mixing different shades I finally settled on what's in the picture.

 

[peterairfix]

More work done today I have the top deck fitted and have started on cabin wall's and deck fittings

 

[Jim R]

Hi Peter
That wood paint looks good. Your mix for the deck seems just right to me.
Jim

I have got the last piece of deck attached and for some reason the deck has come out a different shade and I have started on deck fittings.
This will my last update for a bit as it's time to swap to another kit.

Quite a task you have there, well worth it in the end.

At the moment as most of my big ship builds tend to be winter projects

 

[peterairfix]

About time for another update I have added more deck fittings and a front bulkhead.

 

[Jim R]

Hi Peter
Plodding along steadily. Adding the smaller detail parts really makes this come alive. Still a ways to go I imagine.

It's looking great mate

 

[rtfoe]

I agree with Jim on the wood decking Peter. Progress with the fittings look good.

Cheers,
Richard

A few more bits added and the stern section and quarter galleries.
This will be the last update for a bit as I need to get some more mojo for this kit.

 

[peterairfix]

Found some more time to do a bit more this time I have completed the poop deck and started on the bow and have the first part of the bowsprit in position.

 

[peterairfix]

Time to dust this one off and do a bit more only a small bit this time.
And it's the figure head and my lost figure did turn up.
