First build after about thirty years, a christmas present that i try to do justice to. Sorry ,but quite advanced in the build and i did not log it.
Made the mistake of trusting the kit at first , built the hull and some other stuff before looking at the rigging plans and realising the errors of my ways.
Didn't even know the ship still existed , i am ashamed to say ! (But maybe they should have informed me in the instructions!)
Some stuff will have to stay , but i am trying to scratch what i can to improve things and i am quite happy with that.
The scale is rather small for such a ship , i think the kits at 1/84 or 1/72 would be preferable.
So here is a kit illustration and a few recent photos. Feel free to comment on my catastrophies
prow
main deck with misplaced anchor hawsers plus oversize planking and deadeyes...many non kit additions.
the poop , pictured with a cousin that i have just recovered for spares, allthough she is not on her best form. She makes me feel better when i look at mine !
try uploading here as i have been struggling!
