That really is very nice.

And the torpedo/gun boat running along side. :nod_2:

Nice touch to a very good Diorama. Like it. :thumbs_up_1:

You give me too much credit, Bob!


Well, here she is in her completed glory - could've done more/better, but time constraints, lack of good resources for detailing and rigging, and the desire to just get on with it got in the way.

Sails made with white glue filling the spaces in the PE footropes.

Thank you, gentlemen! I only wish I had time to make the masts out of brass, instead of the clunky plastic. Alas, I only have 2 more weeks before moving, so have to get it done by then.

Sorry to hear about your friend's missing ratlines, Capt. Pugwash :( I'm fortunate enough to have all them there and complete.

Thanks Devin!

Today, spent two hours putting together the ship's wheel. Ended up being 7 parts in total, since I had to cut the axle in half due to the hole in the middle set of wheel+post being clogged with glue.

Ah, an excellent idea, thanks Pieter! I shall do that.

Very nice work with the flying deck Timmy. About the hawse opening covers, many of those covers had a smaller hole in the back so it could be use over lashed down anchor hawsers. This way the openings would be reasonably spray tight under way while the whole opening could be used when at anchor giving the hawsers the freedom to move with the current. The picture of Ting Yuen on cityofart.net (strange collection of opinions, that, but I digress) shows those covers open and closed on Ting Yuen.

If you want to have your Ting Yuen underway you can simply drill a hole on the back part of each cover and attach your hawser chain from that point.

Thank you gentlemen! It's a small kit, but very involved!

Latest update - finished putting on/together the bow fittings and flying deck. The compound curves for the flying deck railings were very challenging - 30 minutes spent on each side before they would fit!

One of the drawbacks to the kit is that the anchor hawse openings are moulded with the covers closed, making it impossible to accurately depict anchor chains without scraping off the covers. If I had noticed this earlier, I would have done so, but alas, it is too late.

Looks good Timmy! And, considering how small this model is, very neat paint work!

The littlest dragons you ever did see (they're separate PE parts):

That's not that big of a deal. Looks well cast from the review. Can't believe the price! About $20 including FULL PE. All you need to add is paint and brass masts!
