Ok Boys and Girls… Here it is. Did as much coil work as I dare. I have snagged the rigging so many times it’s a miracle I haven’t snapped parts right off the ship. 😆 I’m calling her finished. Will one of you moderators change the title to FINISHED for me? Thanks again to Paul in Australia for making all the guns and to all the rest of you who helped me along the journey of my first wooden ship build with techniques, critiques and encouragement! Was in no hurry, but I had several months of winter rain that kept me indoors. Keel laid December 4, 2021, launched June 28, 2022.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well done! This just happens to be the first boat I'm doing, and it'll be here in a few days. Your build log should prove quite invaluable. Looks like your guitar skills proved useful. Cheers.

I found this build log a real inspiration as a very new ship modeller. Considering the problems you had earlier, that finished model is really fantastic. I will try and keep going with my second build.
