Fantastic update on your build. I was wondering what you might do next but seeing the kits listed in your signature i can see you have plenty there to keep you busy for some time to come. Hope the rest of the build goes well. Happy Modelling

Hi Alan, John, Tony and Paul, Thanks for looking in and for the inspirational remarks. @ Tony, I think I will carry on with the Pearl, it seems a lot less intense than the Victory. There is more room for ‘playing around’. Next I probably should finish the Bismark and Golden Hind they are about half way. As you can see, I’m much better at starting models than finishing them. I’m really trying to break this habit with my Victory. Kind regards Garth "Measure twice, cut once!!!" Finished!!! HMS Victory, Current build: Black Pearl. On hold: Bismarck, Golden Hind, Flying Scotsman, Victory Cross Section, SOTS, Tiger 1. Wish list: USS Constitution.

Hi All, Some pics of the Mizzen Stay Sail and the Main Topgallant sail. All went according to the instructions - no curve-balls. I've made more progress on the model, but am quite far behind with the pics - hope to catch up this weekend. Kind regards, Garth Garth attached the following image(s): "Measure twice, cut once!!!"
