In my case I made the holes for the eyes before gluing the walkways, everything is prepared to receive the eyes...

    Soleil Royal - Heller 1/100 Back to work!

    OK, Thanks. Good job with the props. I didn't know that the masts were painted, always thought they were natural wood. But that depend on the ship, of course. I don't know much about the French Navy of the XVII century, namely about the SR. Cumps. JL

    Charles W. Morgan by David Lester - Model Shipways - 1/64 scale [COMPLETED BUILD]

    I think it is not a hard task, the model is an easy one. And if you want to have a good model, you are going to replace more than half of the supplied parts of the kit, anyway, It has nothing to do with the perfection that we take as granted for today's kits. Crude and inaccurate, and the wood...
