Just in the process of making two new boats to hang on the outer davits. Pictures to follow soon. I have a few spares some one might be interested in, namely figure heads and stern boards and a few side ornamentation. Anyone interested give us a shout and I will post some pics of them. HMS Surprise

I don't really know why you would wan't to make such a drastic move. It looks good to me.
We're always critical of our work.
Will be following with interest.

Hi Moriarty. Looking fantastic now and such a great improvement which just goes to show how we all get better as we learn and build! Who was your supplier for the bigger cannon? I was going to use all the 'same size' DelPrado barrels but I think I might invest in the biggies for the 32pdrs after all, it just looks ' right' having the larger muzzles down there! Keep up the great work!
