As I said on the first page - this was started last year and some parts like the deck and main guns finished -- so just bashing them together at the moment.
The jetty is new, but will take longer to do, as I have run out of plaster of paris (I bet Haddock starts with his PPP and PPP and he can PPP  )

Dry run with some of the parts loose fitted.
The fit on this Zvezda model is excellent - you have to make sure ALL paint and glue is removed from joints or they dont fit together - causes problem sometimes with making unit blocks and adding them to the main model.
BET HADDOCK COULD DO IT EASILY !!!!

A couple of jigs made to hold  blades so they are  able to get the plaster of paris flat and to shape.
The first has the bar holding the blades so it is able to be set at different hights and then dragged across the top of the jetty. The second is just a blade fastened so it can be dragged allong the front edge at 90 degrees and clean that up.
The jetty is now roughly to shape so will have a final thin coat of plaster of paris and than cleanned up and the block work marked into the plaster.

Small hole drilled in the mast and  then enlarged  to fasten the gaff section into.

Of course, you just know that Zak will be there with his set squares and spirit levels to try and disprove you jigs' effectiveness.  Again, impressive stuff - for them that have the time to be impressive.

Working on the for and aft masts. Next job is to fit the chain links to fasten the rigging onto. The job after that is to listen to Haddock complain that my chain is to big.
