Hi Karl I agree she looks a little dark as she is right now but being built in Havana by a shipwright from Ireland and copeous amounts of the local wood that was Teak available which when wet can give that dark red/black colour I went for. Dont worry there will be some lighter moments to come regards Andy  Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi Steve, Dave and Alan Thanks for looking in and your comments, the light bass wood thats going on to the upper hull is providing the contrast i thought it would and is certainly brightening things up.

Hi All Finally got round to finishing last months parts as im busy on another major project. The stores have been made up consisting of staining several barrels and using canvas and rope to cover 5 blocks. The hull has had several more light coloured planks added aswell as some darker woods to set it off. The gun ports are not fixed as yet but just shown in situ to give an idea of how they look. More soon. Regards Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .
