I look forward to seeing more of your work. Thanks for your words or welcome, Keith. I've done a few more plastic ships. I might post some pictures of the Victory build soon. Its the Heller 1:100 kit which is quite popular but somewhat challenging. Currently into the HMS Terror, my first wooden kit and I'm hooked! I going its wood from here on in! (Apart from a 200 scale HMS Rodney which is on my to do list!) mtaylor, Edwardkenway and Keith Black 3
