Spent today working on the fictional stern parts - bits added, ripped off and added again, so this is not a reflection on the completed model....

You do realise the pictures taken were with a macro lens, and these names are just a few mm long?
We do have a US distributor, AgesofSail.

chris watton reacted to DaveRow in HMS SIRIUS 1780 By DaveRow - Scale 1:60 - POF - as she was fitted out for the "Flagship of the First Fleet" to Australia - 2nd wooden ship build
More progress from the Shipyard - Thursday 7th August 2025.
A bit of a push over last week to get all the 1st layer planks onto the hull has been reached.
I spent a few hours fairing(sanding) the planks today.
I did carry the upper planks too far down the side.
However, for the first layer it's been a good refresher on planking before the 2nd layer of planks.
I'm pretty happy with the outcome so far.
