I know exactly about multi-year projects. It took me 9 plus years to finish Revell's P-51D Mustang, and that was only in 1/48th scale. I appreciate the offer for help on my journey with my Galleon and believe me, I will ask questions. Like you I am a slow builder due to my work schedule and other of life's issue, so I am at the bench sparingly. I consider this build my last one, due to bad eyes and a wandering mind as well as the inability to want to spend more than 2 or 3 hours modeling per session. Anyways, I have been looking for reference material for the Galleon from books, websites or FB groups, and let me tell you, it is not easy to find. What did you use for your references? Looking forward to seeing the continuation of your Galleon.
