Great work.
You really start to appreciate the actual size of the model when the masts, booms and bowsprit are added.
Looking good.
Kind regards,

Ian,

Finally had a chance to read through your entire build thread. It's looking very good and reminds me how far I have to go. However, I can also see what an enjoyable journey it will be and what's possible at the end?

Keep up the good work. It will be stellar when it's finished.
