Just got some little extras, two swivel Cannons, and a better Capstan!

A few more things that I progressed with. I have not been doing it in order, but I'm getting there!!!

I did get some Caldercraft eyebolts, but the Capstan is Mantua Period capstan 25mm, and the Swivel cannon is Amati Falconet Cannon Brass 20mm barrel plus 12mm aiming arm. All from the "model Dockyard"

Hope it continues well.

Only a small update this week, with all the upperdeck Gunports cut, but still need to be sanded, and the frames put in.

Only small bit's which I'm taking my time with, The gunwale covers are only dry fitted at the moment, still a small bit of sanding where the gunport stick up a bit.
