Good afternoon Shota. Thank you kindly. Cheers GrantThis little boat looks wonderful
Good afternoon Peter. I am. I built the hull based on the Occre frames and I am stuck with it . It is unlikely any long boat or other ships boat would have it this way, however I don’t think it will detract from the overall look of this little/big boat. Cheers Grant
'Little boat' lol. It's like creating a model of a model
Looking good though Grant, no matter how 'little'
Good morning Mark. Thanks. It has been fun so far. I need to force myself to build the last 3 cannons now. Procrastinating...Cheers Grant'Little boat' lol. It's like creating a model of a model

That and Imagineering seems to be a bit of a problem with this hobby. I've gotten quite good at both.

Simply beautiful Grant. I am a fan of your work.
This post just reminds me what a superior modeller you truly are. This is fantastic work Grant! You play your work down but the results speak volumes for your skill and artistry.
I am in synch with the above phrases, a truly fantastic work! Love whatever job one takes up (because if you love your work, you will not only do it well, you will enjoy it)!!

"The Occre donor" has nothing to do with this beautiful ship. A completely different ship and story. I hope that one day there will be such sets available for purchase... but then you won't have anything to do !, maybe it's still better to remake this "donor"? Congratulations, amazing.
In different episodes the canon-job is done. It looks nice and impressive, Grant.
Regards, Peter
That is a lot of guns ... which will be the cannon to break the hull's back?
. Agree with Johan, that's a lot of firepower in a compact space and it must have been mayhem when the gunners got going. Looks awesome though Grant, your rigging is superb and I can't tell one cannon from the other you have replicated them so well

True!Occre should use a few of the photos of your work in their marketing materials.
simply stunning sight and what you do with a lot of creativity and minimum resources! Great work Grant!
Good morning Johan. Thank you, I agree the Cazador design is incredibly cramped. I doubt that in real life this would have been possible to effectively operate the cannons. One also has to consider that oars are also used in between each cannon. Looking at the Le Requin monograph there is considerably more room between each canon.

Good morning Guys. Thank you so much. Encouragement, comments, likes etc are so invaluable to my motivation to just do better. These are appreciated. Cheers Grant
Good morning Mark. I think from the 3rd canon onwards this process became a little bit of a mission. My canons are pretty close to each other however no cannon is identical. No canon broke the hulls back unfortunatelyThat is a lot of guns ... which will be the cannon to break the hull's back?
however they nearly broke my mental state of mind.....whew they are nearly done. Cheers Grant
