Thank you indeed Smithy. It is much appreciated. Enjoy your Xebec they are very “tasty” models to display. Cheers Grant
They are surprisingly tall with the yards raised.
I might have to knock two rooms into one - living room into attic! 
That is true the yards are impressive.They are surprisingly tall with the yards raised.
Amazing work to view Grant. Impressive! Magic Mike

A real cracker of a model Grant!Good afternoon.
I am getting some decent (hopefully) American Walnut bases for the stand. I am going to make a display case for my Victory at the same time. Last week I printed some of the Lions (same as on the rail) which will hold the ship onto the walnut base:
I drilled a 2mm hole through the resin Lions and a steel Rod run through the Lion into the ship. I had the the bulkheads marked and luckily the rod runs deep up the bulkhead. Pretty strong.

….and of course I get the angle of the fore Lion slightly out. Drilling upside down- I have an excuse.

Looking at an impossible dream to get my skills anywhere near yours.
Good morning Richie. Thank you kindly, you make me blush. To me it is always about having fun with this hobby and if I get my ships looking good that is a bonus. Cheers Grant
