    Finished after eight months work. the tying off of the rigging is not great. I found out that age has caught up with me. My hands shake far to much when trying to tie the correct knots and when guiding the cord through the blocks. as such all the blocks and areas where the line is tied off are done with simple knots. I am happy with the end result and it does look good displayed on the shelf it sits on. might do the Sampson next from the same kit maker. I have a few sailing vessels in my stash, but not sure about them as I would struggle with all the rigging requirements. trying to tie shrouds and ratlines would be hard with the way my hands shake doing fiddly tying jobs. Might consider building one with just the bottom masts in place without rigging and see how it looks.

    Brilliant job, I am getting close to finishing this kit myself. Yes, the spiral stairway was the hardest part to get right. Paul

    Getting close now. The main part of the ship is complete. Few iffy bits here and there, such as the rails in front of the wheel house. And the windows, had not realised I had touched the plastic until it was dry. As such they are somewhat cloudy but I can live with it. Time for the challenge of the masts and rigging now. When I was working I only worked on the model at weekends, usually a Saturday morning for around 4 hours. It would have taken me two years+ to get to this stage. This represents just over 7 months of work. Retirement is so good. loving working on a hobby I love doing.

    Looks like an interesting little model. Will be good to watch you build it. I personaly like AL kits, have a number of them in my stash. I know the quality of some of the kit can be a bit iffy, but they do look good When compleded. Unfortunately they are now no more, great shame, although their kits are still freely available. Paul

    WOW is an understatement for this monster. Will be following your build with interest. What do you reckon a couple of weeks? When you paint, will it be pink or the IMO correct scheme of yellow? Looking forward to the start of your build. Good Luck, Paul

    Good morning Michael, Welcome to MSW, Good Luck with your rigging. As you can tell from replies to your post you have chosen a brilliant forum to join. It would be good to see some pictures of your work. For your next model you might want to start a build log. Enjoy this wonderful hobby and making lots of friends from every corner of the world on this forum. Paul
