I have gotten quite a bit done the last couple weeks. I am going back and forth between this build and my Syren. I have some additional rigging to do on the cannons, and quite a bit of rigging left to do on the mast. It is coming along nicely, I have definitely made some mistakes, but I have learned a lot from them, so that's whats important. 

 

Wow, can the rigging get tedious. It has really shown me that I need to get some new glasses! haha!

The corner of my Syren, that is where it gets stored while glues dry.

Thomas any chance of selling me the plans and build instructions when you have completed the model as I bought a kit off ebay and discovered they were missing when I opened the box. The seller said they will find some but I have since found out that Corel don't do seperate ones for this particular kit.Cheers Mick.

Hi

 

Really, really good job on this project.  I am new to the forum and glad to have ran into your page while looking on the web.  I am thinking about buying this kit to build.  I wish I could see the last pics from your post about rigging.  How would you recommend and rate Corels HMS Victory Cross Section kit to another modeler with various skills but a long time off from modeling after having completed so much of the kit so far???

 

Keep up the good job, it looks beautiful.
