    Hi Yves. Thanks for the comments,much appreciated.The problem with rigging is that it takes so long for so little,I have just started on the ratlines on the fore mast. Regards the cannons,they came with kit and it seemed like a good idea at the time to add the bucket and the other bitsI having a day off tomorrow I am going down to see the MAY ROSE I watched them bringing her up on tv. HAVEYOU STARTED YOURS YET. All the best Tony

    Hi Yves Thanks for your comments. The AL was bought as a present but given a choice and based on your photos the Constructo kit looks the better option.The AL is very basic and the list off faults as long as your arm. Waiting to see how you get on. Tony current build AL MAYFLOWER
  24. tony
