Good morning Jim and Dean. True story. I’m at the stage in my shipbuilding careerwhere I am building something representative vs going for a 100% replica. Maybe one day I will attempt this however right now my knowledge and skills are limited so “if it looks like a 18th century ships cannon it must be an 18th century ships cannon”
So far I’m very chuffed with how my Enterprise is going and the fact that the Admiral says on regular occasions - “stop building ships and go make some money” says everything
Cheers Grant
Grant, I can totally relate to your approach. As you know I’m prone to using Artistic License. One reason is because I like exercising my artistic creativity. The other reason is although I appreciate historical accuracy, I love building models more than I love doing research. So if I have to dig too deep or too long for answers, it starts to ruin my taste for building a ship model. I do enough brain work on the job, I want my hobbies to be less cranial if you know what I mean.
