As usual, great work Ken.  The build is looking top notch so far. I can't believe this is a plastic kit. I am completely envious of your weathering techniques. If I didn't know better, your deck looks like real wood planking. Love your work. Looking forward to seeing more. Ron Best Regards,

Looks beautiful Ken. I love the lines of this ship. Even just sitting there on your washing machine it looks sleek and fast. Keep up the fantastic work. Ron Best Regards,

Simply amazing!!
Im with Nytetrain, if I didn't know it was a plastic kit I would think it is a wooden ship.
Keep up the great work!

Looking very nice. From what i can see it looks like you get plenty to build for the money so a very worth while kit. Happy Modelling

Well I'm so cross with myself, went to do some rigging on this and dropped it, snapped off the rear mast broke the shrouds on the fore mast snapped some of the rigging on the bowsprit, a few of the hatches have come off, broken some of the stanchions round the top of the rear cabin. luckily nothing that cant be fixed but its put me back quite a bit, Grrrr and no one to blame but my butter fingers. I could almost swear, flippin heck, blimey and fiddle sticks (sorry for the profanities there) Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Sorry to hear that,especially after all your hard work.Is it fixable.When I do this I usually put it away until I have calmed down and can assess the damage-Otherwise it gets ugly.

Ken Glad you managed to recover the situation which could have been a lot worse. I think we have all veen down this route at one time or other so can feel your pain. Talking of pain "never drop a craft knife if your not wearing steel toecaps because you can guess were tgatvone will land" Hope the rest of the build and recovery goes well. Happy Modelling
