This build was started back in 2012 as a ‘time filler’ whilst I was building the Endeavour. I got to the rigging stage of both ships at about the same time and opted to complete the Endeavour first. Subsequently this build got ‘dry docked’ and never seemed to get back on the build table as other projects came and went. After finishing my Swift build a couple of months ago I decided it was time to finish the San Francisco II. I had just started fitting the ratlines when she was left so I have spent the last couple of months (on and off) finishing the rigging and here she is. The pictures show her still sitting on her build cradle, I will build a better stand as I build her display case over the coming weeks. Graeme pemberg attached the following image(s):
