Where can I find evil bay products? A google search came up with everything but a company doing ship products.

I built this kit about 4 yrs. ago, & added some scratch-built parts to kind of "fill out" things. The hardest part was the paint job, but mine turned out pretty well, considering. You did an outstanding job with a too-small scale!

I have to ask. Where did you get the PE shrouds & ratlines and PE set? Your model looks great! The only suggestion is to tighten up the rigging on the Main and Mizzen masts,
