What's on your workbench for November.

[Volunteer]

Over on the 3D Kickstarter thread I posted this photo of the 3D order I received a couple of days ago from designer and friend Henry Turner.


The post was rather rough with the package (there was a one inch diameter hole punched through the bottom!) There were four hulls with various amounts of damage. I spent a bit of time yesterday making repairs.
Canada class 74:
> All of the poop deck railing was gone. Replaced with the edging of the same mesh I use for 1/1200 ratlines
> The stern taff rail was broken off. Replaced with a bit of card
> The catheads were gone. Holes drilled and pinned, new catheads carved and glued to pins
> 4 starboard guns, 2 port guns broke off. Holes drilled, 20lb test fishing line inserted & glued, thin snipped off at the correct length to match the other guns
(Note: I had not replaced the guns yet when I took these photos)




The Holsteen 74:
> 7 portside guns broke off. Holes drilled, 20lb test fishing line inserted & glued, thin snipped off at the correct length to match the other guns, new guns painted black so they can be seen
> The catheads were gone. Holes drilled and pinned, new catheads carved and glued to pins
> The lanterns were gone. Holes drilled, fishing line inserted & glued, then built up with PVA





The last two ships just needed one lantern each
