Well after twelve and a half months it's finally finished, not the best job in the world but as it's my first wooden ship I have built and struggled enormously with the planking got there in the end. I'm quite happy with the results(wouldn't stand up to close scrutiny though). I have learned quite a lot with a lot of help from the forum members and following most of the excellent builds on here for inspiration. I definitely have a long way to go. I have already got my first two packs for the Soliel Royal but I am having a little break mending all the cuts on my fingers and tidying up my work space and then onto the new build. Thanks to all the forum members who have helped my on my journey. eebygum attached the following image(s): FINISHED BUILDS---- HMS Victory--Bismarck--Battleship Yamato-D51 Steam Train--Pocher Ferrari Testarossa--Soleil Royal--Schnellboot S-100--StageCoach 1848--HMS HOOD-- Delorean (Back to the Future)
