This is my first foray into model ship building after a scratch-built galleon I made at school some 50 years ago. Diana took some 3 years to build and I enjoyed every minute of it. I elected to include all sails in a furled state so as to not mask any of the detail. A lot of the extra information I obtained from the books 'Anatomy of the Ship: Diana' and 'Rigging Period Ship Models' plus a few others and a few visits to HMS Victory at Portsmouth.
