G'day Zoly, very nice looking kit, the parts are cut very cleanly, and the cannon looks great, I will follow your build, thanks for posting,

best regards John.

Is that Walnut timber Zoly ? Are you painting or varnishing the cannon carriage ?

I reckon you will scratch build some of this to improve it.

A nice kit you have here.... very good for in between. Good to here that you are not painting it.....
The rigging is only for keeping the barrel fixed to the base, but represent not a real realistic rigging.
I will follow your log with interest.....

Looks like a nice little kit, you just need to build a ship to the same scale to put it on now,
Cheers Andy
