sparrow Posted April 9, 2013 Share #1 Posted April 9, 2013 Hello and welcome to the build log of my first attempt on wooden ship modeling. I was asked by a few members of this forum to re-create the build log and I finally got to it so I hope it will be useful to some people building this kit.

sparrow Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) Work on the spars has started. Also I have attempted to create new stern gallery wiindows from scratch as I didn't much like the ones that came with the kit.
