This is my first foray into ship building after making a scratch-built galleon 50 years ago whilst at school. Diana took some 3 years to build and I enjoyed every minute. I made a few additions to the kit including all sails set in a furled state in order to show all the rigging involved and a dry dock on which to mount it. A lot of the information was obtained from the books 'Anatomy of the Ship' and 'Rigging Period Ship Models'.

Thanks! I agree. I originally was interested in model ship building because I was interested in galleons and then 18th C warships, but I have found that I really like small craft. It's especially fun thinking that this is something you might realistically be able to sail.

Very nice! It's great to see models of small craft being built.

first time seeing a carronade model, sure you've made all items from scrap because i think there are no kits from manufacturers. Simply awesome!
