Steps done both sides, let it dry and then get the sides together



going to need a tidy up

Potentially more misery for your cannon making - I haven't seen any evidence of cap squares (shaped pieces that secure the sticky-out bits from the barrel (trunnions)) to the carriage - probably work in progress I'm sure but vital nevertheless! Sorry mate :anguished:

I Know, and I apologise to all the messy bench brigade

[Bri62]

Has anyone been on the victory recently? what colour are the gun deck bulkheads I think I remember them being a off white but that was some 30 years ago

The instructions say's paint them red (not doing that)

Chris I have nothing against a messy bench and wish I could cope with a few bits and bobs lying around but I would never sleep

WELL Bri jen an i have been over vitory 4 times an but not for several yrs but if i rember rightly she was painted red inside so when the crew got hurt or killed the red blood wont look so bad against the red paint so easyier to clean up an not lower crew morale an i think it was painted white so the member of the public tourin over her could see trip points or head bags points as thats what i got told when on her first time an they wont let me video because of trippin an such
