Thanks Trev, I have to admit that after the finish of Victory I felt the need to build something different. I went off and built wooden cars and Occre tram kits for a while. I mentioned earlier that this kit had been sitting under my bench since early 2020 and the lure was so strong that I couldn't resist getting started. I'm really enjoying it so far although there have been some shocks including the quality of wood for planking. I will admit that I am using my own instead but the other details, particularly the masts, guns, gun ports and sails are top quality. Looking ahead I can see that some of the deck grilles and stairs may get replaced. But I love being back ship building. My diaries are not the best I know, normally just a series of pics in a fairly chronological order. Apologies for my ineptness in this area. Chris
