Ken That is looking so good. Gives me a sense of vertigo looking at your picture from top mast to deck - they were certainly aspecial people in those days managing to climb all that rigging in the best of weathers let alone stormy weathers. A really great build i must say. Happy Modelling

Hi all here is the next update I noticed a split in the vac form mizzen sail and was going to patch it with a stitched square then thought I would experiment with some super glue.  Unfortunately the superglue made the weathering go white but a coat of acrylic white and you would never know.  I've finished all the ratlines on the forecast    Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Hi all here is the next update seems like a lot of rigging on this but it's nothing compared to the soliel royal, and I've barely started this.    Ken's the name modeling's the game.
