Looking great!!! Nice to see that your back into this.

Jim.. Thanks for naming the area (transom) for me. And if you notice anything else, speak up.. all help appreciated. I've started laying the outside planks. Shimming with thin pieces of card if I feel that I'm getting a cupping between frames. Also beveling the next set of planks where it...

Thanks Gerardo for the comment... Next up was adding the planking to the stern. I've filled and sanded/beveled smooth the stern. Here's the stern piece glued up on .05m stock, and I've cut out the openings. Have glued the part to the rear, and used the eyebolts to help line up...

base Figured I would get the base ready so I would have something to set the model on while working.. Here's the base glued up and putty applied, then sanded smooth. Here I applied a coat of paint, and then sanded smooth again. For the finish, I used a coat of "Liquitex" Dark...

Amazing detail...... Great job on the weathering. Looks very realistic..

HMS Alert Hello Richard.. Not sure if you received your "HMS Alert" yet, but here is the start of a build report on a Polish forum. Looks quite nice so far.. Though this is the box set... http://www.konradus.com/forum/read.php?f=1&i=115928&t=115928

David... Beautiful work.. A pleasure following this thread. Cheers.

Have added the upper deck (quarterdeck ?) This was glued on 1m card. I said before that my planking was glued on 1m, when it was actually done on .05m.

Jim... Yes, that's what the instructions called for. So far I'm doing this by the number with whatever the plans call for.. Have added the inner cabin bulkheads and doors.

Thanks Jim.. Only way I could think of doing it. Plus it's nice when you can incorperate materials that you bring home from the market, and they work...;-)

Have started the planking.. pic #1 shows the planks laminated on .05mm. pic #2 showing the inner bulwarks glued.. Nice to see something with color going on..

Back to work on this.. Have set the pieces for the keel in place, plus the upper first layer of planking. You can also see where I've sanded the hull to take out any humps before I start gluing up the outside planks...

Michal.. Thank you for the kind comments. Always a pleasure to build one of your creations.. Just received this months issue, and l look forward to doing the next Dinosaur.. Cheers.

Thank you both for the comments.. Cheers.

T Rex mounted on base..

Tyrannosaurus Rex… Another in the Dinosaur series from the ABC magazine, designed by Michal Dudas. Here are the part sheets.. Base with ground cover added.. T Rex...

Have no idea, as I pull the model pages out of the magazine and file them in a folder, and don't really keep track of the issue numbers.. You could search around here on the ABC archive page, and maybe come up with some info. http://www.iabc.cz/scripts/modules/column/default.php?categid=21

Paul.. Thanks for the nice words.. Other than the "Emperor Moth", I haven't gotten around to building the others. You might try contacting Jim Coffey about back issues.. http://www.netwurx.net/~coffeyhomeschool/ABC.html

Thanks Jim.. Yes a great change of pace, and I look forward to doing the other three. Though the quality of my picture taking needs improvement. Will do some experimenting later in the week. Enjoy following your Constitution build. Slowly but surely is how all my ship builds go, with many...

Gerardo... Thanks for the comments.. The model is from the Czech Magazine "ABC" to which I had a subscription for this year.. Cheers.
