Didn't realize you spoke French.

'Wat ees Always?'

Not sure said mentioned item is correct....?

I think more 'Say as I think!' 'Eeeh Bah Gum Lad' from French to Yorkshire in a simple move...!

Still in English..... A very nice looking model!

Bigkev
I hope my next is always better

                              Bit more progress. It's stuff like this that runs away with time.
                   These are the port-side quarter-deck railings. Hopefully, you can see that the top rail is flat and wider
than the stanchions and lower rails.
      First shot is the top rail for the starboard side, it's 0.6mm wide with a groove relief etched into it's lower surface.
                       The idea is to bend the rails to suit the groove in the upper rail and stick it all together, bit fiddley.
                 The phrase "it'll look better with a coat of paint" springs to mind.
                Next job will be to cut out some gaps in the bottom two rails to accommodate the fairleads!
Haddock.

Hi Haddock,
Did this one ever get 'launched' from the Brookland Road shipyard??

It did although the sea needs finishing.
As soon as I get the chance I'll take one or two pictures.

The model looks excellent particularly the brass work. It looks very intricate.

It did, it won the Feb comp.( it was pointed out that it only got a sympathy vote)
Look on "Models on the table" for Feb,
there's a better picture than I could take.
