The model is looking superb mate. cheers Pat Hello Pat, Yes we had a great trip, it was nice to get away after a long winter and being stuck inside with this virus thing. Yes Oliver Cromwell build is coming to an end, we do have to add a few things and clean up the hull for finishing, not sure varnish or oil as yet. Regards Lawrence | ||

I do like the Led Lights as it seams to bring her to life. When she is all lit up my Admiral says it must be a party night, just love it. Pat I do not have a Flicker but I do have 5 levels of lighting that is rather nice, Oliver Cromwell will make a great night lamp. Regards Lawrence | ||

To start off with we had installed Walnut Waled with the thoughts that they would blend in very nicely with the Boxwood planking but then we found that we could not bend the boxwood at the sharp stern so we went with natural pear. Booth are very nice woods but there was very little deference in color between the Walnut and the Natural Pear even after staining so we ended up painting our Wales black and then a coat of varnish. We then gave out ship a couple of coats of Tung & Teak Oil, Gave a 1777 US Flag to fly on her Yard Arm. We searched the internet for House Flags and pennants but failed to find any to fly on her Mast Heads, any help here would very much be appreciated. We have started to build the Oliver Cromwell a display case for here to live in, but this is quite large being 37 1/2" x 15 3/4" or 95 x 44.5 CM. We want to build it out of cherry wood but not having a piece wide enough we had to laminate two pieces together. In all of this goings on our PC crashed after a Microsoft update band were forced to dig out an old unit out of our archives. Sure has been a n active week. We did not oil the stern Gallery as we do want to add the stern Decorations there when they are completed, There is no great hury there as we will continue to build our display case before continuing on to our Great Little YQ - Bluenose build. I do thank all of you for following and for all of your great Very Helpful Comments and Suggestions that you have given me over the last 3 years and 2 month that we have worked on this Oliver Cromwell build, Thank You All. Regards Lawrence     | ||
