Thanks Martin

Hi Phil, thanks, its a Sculpfun s30 pro max

@@g-kip Thanks Grant. Very tempting 😃

Ahh Neil, thats a brilliant suggestion, thought never even occurred to me, thanks.

Hi James, I have done 3 videos

Thank you

@@markdeschane4467 Hi Mark, did you watch part one, i believe i marked out and cut the Rabit. With regards the double captions, ive fixed that issue on later videos.

Hi the music volume has been reduced in later videos, this is one of my first videos with voice as opposed to captions, and I hadnt got the volume sorted out.

Hi Jay, thank you, and your welcome.

Hi Martin, thanks, the laser cutter is a sculpfun s30 pro max,

@@g-kip Thank you 👍

Hi, its a cheapy off Amazon Novellife, its ok for cutting thinner pieces of timber and ply, hard wood not so good, struggles with anything over 10cm, I wouldn't recommend it for heavy duty work.

Thanks Greg, you would be safe most have an auto cut off if its moved, hmm got me thinking maybe I could do a side line in tattoos.

Hi Wolfgang, thanks, not quite up to your standard yet, but im working on it.

Hi James, I was advised the distance between the Mizzan Mast and Main Mast, and adjusted the measurements accordingly, may not be 100% accurate but its going to be pretty close, you can call me Grant, Mr Kip a bit too formal lol.

@@g-kip Very exciting. Thanks again Grant.

Hi Joe, haha no your not going blind I forgot, its me going senile.

@@g-kip As I am....

Thanks

Salut Robert, Merci pour votre commentaire

Hi Greg, hope your well, yes definately a job to get the whole model in the shot. Thanks for letting me know about the bowsprit I will check it out, I think with the supports i will only keep them in place until i have added the lower two gunport templates, as i will need access to add the details to the lower gun deck, im hoping the two gunport templates will be strong enough to maintain the shape while i work. Time will tell.

Hi James, thank you, I hope it was useful

@@g-kip Very much so. My next project is to do a half hull planing exercise.

Thanks Jay

Hi Joe, getting there slowley, hopefully progress will be a bit more visable from now on.

Hi Martin, haha no it wasnt aimed at you, but your always welcome.

Hi Josh, Thanks, Im going to experiment with some paints on the lights, not sure how it would react with the micro klear

Hi Greg, thanks they havent come out too bad.

Hi Joe, thanks.

Thank you

Hi John, your a star, thank you very much.

Hi Graham, Thanks. I'm really going to have to go a visit, Ill meet you down there you can hold the tape measure for me lol.

Hi Jay, thank you I will try some different colours on the lights, no doubt I will put it too a vote. Are you serving or retired?, I spent 9 years in the UK army.

@@g-kip grant I’m so old I’ve been decommissioned lol

Hi Martin, thanks, I will try out a few colours to try and get the best effect, thanks for looking for solutions to the lantern. With regards the stern, got some plans, but nothing concrete yet.

Hi Johnny, thanks, I did try your suggestion, but I think the scale was a bit too small for the job, did you use clear acrylic paints or just diluted paint?, Im going to experiment with some colours.

@@g-kip Hi, yes the PE is very fiddly and a time consuming method! For the lights I used a well tried and tested method from building a Trumpeter Titanic that I am converting into the RMS Olympic for my sins! I found that just by a light coating of ordinary coloured acrylics, various light shades were pretty easy to simulate. I am currently using Vallejo but any good acrylic will do the job. The tiny LED's give out very little heat so the paint stays put easily enough. If the colour is not right for you then it's a simple matter of carefully scraping the paint away and trying again until you reach something that you are happy with. I am using slightly different strengths to get a random lighting effect which would be quite realistic for the 18th Century. It works well and is a method to bear in mind for other lighting projects perhaps. Have some fun with it and with a little patience you will get a good result. Regards JH ⚓

Thanks Johnny

Hi Jimmy, Thanks I will give it a try.

Thank you, I will try adding some colour to the lights,

Hi Wolfgang, thanks, are you building anything at the moment?

Hi Tom, Thanks, there are 3 videos, I still need to get around to completing them.

Hi Dennis, good points.

Hi Glad it was useful, I will be doing more on planking soon, just been a bit distracted with the HMS Victory model.

@@g-kip you are most helpful. I am in the same track as you I got 2 HMS Victory kits to do. One smaller. I’m doing a comfortable schooner to get warmed in. I’m a model builder of aircraft and dioramas like trenches etc. Haven’t posted footage yet new channel. But I decided I want to do something boat wise for my inner child. As an 80’s baby from E london. These kits were simply… too audacious as a dream I’m afraid. But I’m not a kid anymore hahaha. Yeah massively helping. I will be present and correct looking forward to your channel as I say doing it and doing it this way will be for me I think. Thank you as well because the gentlemen I grew up with if your dad didn’t know you wasn’t getting helped.

Hi Tom, sorry I've been distracted with the HMS Victory model,

Hi Wolfgang, thanks I will give it another try.

Thanks, I will give it a go.

Hi Greg Thanks, I did look on temu the lanterns i found were 2cm bit large.

My light bulb is permanently dim ;)

Hi Joe, I thought I had replied to this message, but its not showing, trial error and a dash of luck in my case .

Hi Martin, I do have a wire diamond mesh, but its the wrong pattern for the lanterns. The Combat Place is a nice looking model, will look great when done especially with your additional touches.

Thanks.

Hi Im guessing your nane is Greg, based on your usernane, Hi Greg, you can use any black or brown cotton to simulate the corking, please note it will increase the time to complete the deck, and a bit more patience is needed, as with the wire to simulate the nails, it is a tedius job, but i like the results.

@@g-kip got nothing but time i think it will be worth the effort. I own a porsche repair shop and build a lot of motors ad transmissions so i love the detail

Hi Greg the nain reason for replacing the lower deck cannons is that they are not complete due to the way the kit is made, I found some 3d printable ones but i needed to amend the scale to match.

Your welcome glad to hear it was useful

Yes i mark both just incase there was a slight variation

@@g-kipThanks
