Very nice build, we are waiting for new pictures of your build. Is this Artesania Latina kit? We have a couple of build logs of the same model. If interested, please take a look.

Nice.
The rigging especially stands out for me, which is great because I am in the middle of some rigging work now and I’m stealing some ideas, based on the above photos.
Thanks.

thanks for your kind words about my rigging, are you sure it is mine you are talking about as i am only just getting used to this forum and it could be someone else you have been looking at.
the stern sail rigging needs to be tighten yet not happy with it as it is,but i must keep telling myself it does not have to be taught but looks better.

Nice build! Hope mine comes out that nice. Just started building the upper deck cannons. Got a ways to go. I was trying to decide early on as to paint or clear coat. I decided to paint but it really slows you down waiting on parts to dry or waiting on second coat etc. I like it painted but really adds to to work.
thanks for the birthday wishes, since my hermoine have done Robert E Lee and amati junk, j class yacht next. My the fun continue !!
Finished mine also with the optional crew members. Painting them up was a bit tedious but I am glad I dit it all. They are a nice touch. I also agree it was a fun build!
