I am enjoying watching your build in progress. Your techniques are quite ingenious producing excellent results with relatively simple tools and materials and demonstates what can be done on a small budget and with limited facilities. I love many of the more sophisticated models on this website but many of them are just beyond my means and abilities so I find your posts quite inspiring and a useful reminder of the joy in ship model building even with limited resources.
Wood selection - i.e. colour and texture is very beautiful.
I've said it before, but I'm going to say it again. Excellent modelling, and very beautiful wood selection for texture and colour. A real stunner.
Hi Richard
Great wood working in general and lovely planking. Can you please explain what the parts marked with a ? are? I thought they might be belaying pins but the British did not use them until about 1740 so are they something else?
Thanks
Allan
