Frustrating - There where times when I just had to get up and walk away

Educational - I have nothing but admiration for those men who built and sailed these ships

Satisfying/Challanging - Working out how too do the next bit. This is my first build of this type and scale. This site has been invaluable. My thanks to all who have taken the time to post information and helpful hints and for the kind comments on my own humble attempts to add to the helpful hints

Know the feeling Gil. I have the same problem. but the pleasure of it is oh so good and keeps me out of swambo's hair. Win, win situation. Building one and collecting two. beggar for punishment I guess.
