I confess I know nothing about this part work at a guess it looks like to be around about 1/96 scale but don't quote.
Since I have it delivered I haven't had a proper chance to delve in and see what I have here's a few pictures of what I have to sort out.

Hi Peter
A project that will take a long time I guess. Do you already have all the parts or are they coming monthly? There are 100 I think :rolling: I'll settle down for the long haul :thumb2:

On further investigation I have found a box with lots of brushes and other bits and two tins of varnish along with a bag of parts witch I assume is the next step.

I have now started working on stage 30-33 witch are making up two grills and some deck planking.

Moving ahead very nicely. I like the shot garlands and gratings. Keep it up.

What an epic project. I wish you all the best with the build

I'll grab a seat please, anything with wood is always a crowd pleaser in my eyes.( Or eye:smiling3: )

[peterairfix]

Finally back to the wood I have made up two sets of steps to the lower decks and installed them and started planking the main deck.

Here's today's work that takes me up to the point where I will be starting the Hull planking.

[peterairfix]

Started the longest job all the planking.

[peterairfix]

I have got to magazine 44 and there are two different steps the stern planking and the start of the mizzen mast and I will be doing the mizzen mast parts first.
First the parts.
And the instructions.
And the finished parts.

[Neil Merryweather]

Blimey!
you do like the big ones don't you Peter!

[peterairfix]

After being on the shelf for nearly a year I have decided to do some more planking and I have added five more layers.
