Nicely done. Very clean looking. I bet she had good sailing qualities.

 

[pebbleworm]

That looks very nice- did you use a shrink ray? It turned out very well indeed!

Absolutely beautiful ! The Canons are fantastic as the rest of the ship.

if you do not mind, I can use one of the images to use on my top banner of the site. I usually rotate ship images from time to time.

Fantastic, I have a bit of 'thing' for sloops at the moment, love the rake in the mast, the massive bowsprit and look of being massively 'over sailed'. The motor torpedo boats of their day!

Zoltan - Compliments to the chef on this one! Such a wonderfully clean build and I love the detail work that you did with the ropes and lines. :handgestures-salute:

 

[Graham]

Very nice build, Zoltan. I want to incorporate a 'slipway look' on my current build and your excellent photos have given me some good ideas, so thanks.

 

[zoly99sask]

Thanks Bob and Roger for the compliments.

 

[Bryian]

I must also say well done my friend.

Question, the ropes look like aftermarket ones. Did you make them yourself ?

Excellent job on a fine model. I especially like your ropework.
