Hi Ken, BigGrin

That is great news, would have been a real shame not to finish this one.

Especially after all the work you`ve put into this.

Cool Cool Cool Cool Cool

Eagerly waiting the rest of this build.

Hi all well I'm afraid this is as far as I can go till the parts come so hopefully they will be here soon.
I cant glue the two boxes on yet as I would not be able to get the other cannons in so this is it for now.

Very nice gilding work on this Ken and the dark wash that you've applied over that main panel really brings out the detail in all of those figures - very well done. I think this is your best build yet. Cool ThumpUp

Why thank you kev, well I've done all the fluer de lys on the other side I recon that must be about 30,000 of them (or at least that's what it seems like).
One thing of would suggest with this kit, for any others intending to build it is either do not glue the angels on the rear of the ship or at least omit the trumpets till the model is finished as I've knocked them off numerous times and have now put them I a bag for safe keeping till I've finished the kit when I will finally glue them on (assuming I remember)

Hi all well here it is last build post on this before we are on hols


















just one question, the rigging thread which\that(dont know the correct word) comes with the kit is off white, is that right, as the only rigging colour I've seen is black ( or at least it looks black) I thought they used tarred rope so that would make it black
