The kit comes with stubby half cannons for the lower decks( I may live to regret this but Ive decided to open up the gun ports and make some whole guns to put behind them, since they are below decks and you wont see much of them they wont need to be too detailed or accurate, and I am only doing one side as they would never do a broadside on both sides, I mean what admiral in his right mind would choose to take the risk of a broadside on both sides at the same time) also it means I've only got to make 30 guns and carriages. I also have to make part decks for one side.

I'd say that the side that you cut out the gun ports looks better

[Guest]

Hi all decided to guild this side before putting guns on as it make the guilding easier.

Never done a boat or a ship this looks very nice and promising to be a great build. I was given a titanic 7 Years ago and it's still in the box. Maybe one day I'll give it a bash. Keep up the great work.I look forward to more progress on this keep if coming.

[Guest]

Looking good, all that gold, must have driven you crazy

[stona]

Looks great!


I made this kit in about 1806, just after the battle of Trafalgar, and it definitely didn't come out looking like this


Cheers

Hi all I've decided to do something different with this and it involves this


[ATTACH]114285.IPB[/ATTACH]



It flickers just like a real candle and the other one is kaput so I developed a cunning plan so, off with the transom


[ATTACH]114286.IPB[/ATTACH]



can you guess where this is going


drilled out the windows


[ATTACH]114287.IPB[/ATTACH]



then removed the rest of the window


yes thats right I'm going to RC it, only joking, lighting up the state cabins.

[Guest]

Lighting the cabins will look good
