very cool!

Wow Igor! This is truly amazing! I feel like all my struggles with the Hannah are kind of absurd when I look at your achievement. Congratulations!

Thanks a lot Alistair - loving your Pegasus, too - though I've been a bit of a lurker there (as everywhere on this site) lately....

WOW!! What a beautiful build - congratulations!

Hi Hexnut and Yves:

Thanks for the compliments! Actually, Yves, this is not a scratch build, though I did modify the kit a little. It's from a Model Shipways kit. The scale is 1:24 - very large so allowing for a great deal of detail. It was a lot of fun to build, though some parts (like the bulwarks, e.g.) were extraordinarily difficult to get right.

This build was largely inspired by another build I saw here on MSW by DanB - though his build log disappeared in the move....sad, because his version of this boat was really a sight to behold. Anyway, thanks again!

Thanks sam! Its actually a model shipways kit - a nice one. I just changed the painting scheme and replaced some of the blocks with pulley blocks and was very careful. It builds up as a really nice model - quite large too - over 30 inches
