After the summer off I've managed a few hours on her. Just need to clear up a bit though lol

Hi CLB I've only used a wash on some of the carvings at the stern so far still need to highlight the details before sealing cheers

It looks gorgeous. Very complicated and a little scary but still gorgeous. You are making a masterpiece!

I have one in the wardrobe and one day soon...

But until then I'm just watching and learning.

Yes, captions would be very helpful.

Thank you all for the comments and likes, I'm not very good at explaining things just let the pictures do the talking.
Smithy I'm learning every day also but get it out and give it a go it's a great kit and fun to build

Thanks Adi, Neil, Alessandro, Smithy and everyone for the likes. It nice to get back into it now the winter months are approaching. Had a little city break in Gdansk and came across these beautiful models in a spectacular building in the old town.
Have a great week all

Are they votive offerings in a church?

Excellent work. So the instructions are pretty bad I gather ?? Hesitant to buy a kit with poor instructions.

Hi Tony, the instructions are in Chinese, but with google translate its easy to switch. In my opinion you definitely need Ancre's Le Requin as a guide to do the build as well, its a great reference. I'm glad i brought the kit, the quality is 2nd to none and i wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. I'm sure with your experience and quality of work you wouldn't find it an issue.
Hope this helps
Mark
