i have been using a little of my time in between Competitions to build and finish of a couple more fittings.
here we have the 6 pounders for the Aft Flying deck and to two Anchor derricks for the Forward Flying deck
i have also found some very nice cutter's / Gig's there rather expensive but do look very nice indeed.

Hi Colin - coming along very well. Interested to learn the source of the cutter/gig as it does look very good.

i have now had time to work on the shipsboats, 4 sailing gigs, 3 rowing gigs and 2 steam Launches.
the gigs just need there hook and eyes for the davits then they can be painted.
the 2 steam Launches i decided to plank there decks and make some nice boilers, so as they look the part...
still have the engine parts to build.
i hope the photo's do these shipsboats justice
a little notice: these shipsboats are not part of the kit, i have used these so as to save time working on the supplied vac - forming's, and to give my finished model that little difference from others.

i am not to sure if i will go that far
having a little bit of a strain on the brain, i am not having any great joy making the steam engines... they don't really look right... i guess i will have to keep trying..
first coat of varnish has been applied to the launches..

after many a try, just to throw the parts in the bin and start again, i think i have managed to get my steam engines looking the part...
i have taken images out of the internet of different steam engines, and tried to make something that looks the part..

i have forgotten to mention, that all the Ships boats are now finished, so i can now concentrate on the Aft Flying Deck, the last major assembly to complete, most of the fittings are already painted and awaiting completion of the Aft Flying Deck.

i thought it was about time i continued with my build, as we are now in Autumn, and the weekends are a lot free-er to carry on my Build.
so here we have the Davits for the rear flying deck; 2 sets of small, Medium, and Long
the small and Medium ones i have modified the feet (or the part that get glued to the flying deck) as i thought that one foot would not hold the davits with its boot in place, so i have added a second foot for more gluing area.
the Long Davits i decided to give them a little more strength in the lateral plane, hoping that this will help when doing all the rigging, as i can now attach the blocks a lot easier to the top crossbar.

and the build continues;
the rear flying deck is nearing completion, most of the fitting have been glued in place.
what still need to be compleated;
the ships boats davits need to be attached to the sides of the flying deck, then the ships boats attached to the davits.
the rear mast, needs painting then the rigging can be attached, and the yard arms still have to be made.
