Well that support looks quite good. Seems to tick all the boxes as to something to hold the ship safe without being too obvious.

I think it looks quite neat.

Happy Modelling

Looking fantastic, the wood effect and gold leaf are a great combination Love

Man he took his time in the sun

Had a dream to understand

A single grain of sand

He gave birth to poetry

But one day will cease to be

Greet the last light of the library...We were here!

Hi all here is the next update, I wanted to add some detail to the cannons which can be seen so, after a great suggestion from a member elsewhere on how to make them I made some eyelets for the tie down ropes.

Hi all here is the next update on this.
Made a little jig for putting the tie down rings in the same place every time.

yes I know I've missed some painting on the front of the decks but will sort that soon.

Hi all well this kit comeso with no anchors for the boats so I've knocked some up, also there are no oars, I've checked a few builds not of the heller kits and they don't seem to have any either, were they stored below decks or should they be there.

Sorry my build rate has slowed so much, but I get some done when I can fit it in and am not feeling too knackered.
