Nice! Good luck with that project. I gave up on the wooden ships long ago. I do find rigging the plastic kits best done in front of the TV. That way you break away from the job and watch a little bit of the show and then get back to work.

Hail, Britannia! What a piece, thanks for posting! In the 18th century that thing would look like the HMS Queen Elizabeth- pure power to lay waste to one's foes.

If I was in a smaller enemy vessel, I'd be paddling like no tomorrow.
