"Today" in Naval History: - better Yesterday
10th of May 1780 - Launch of HMS Ontario, a British warship that sank in a storm in Lake Ontario on 31 October 1780, during the American Revolutionary War.
HMS Ontario was a British warship that sank in a storm in Lake Ontario on 31 October 1780, during the American Revolutionary War. She was a 22-gun snow, and, at 80 feet (24 m) in length, the largest British warship on the Great Lakes at the time. The shipwreck was discovered in 2008 by Jim Kennard and Dan Scoville. Ontario was found largely intact and very well preserved in the cold water. Scoville and Kennard assert that "the 80-foot sloop of war is the oldest shipwreck and the only fully intact British warship ever found in the Great Lakes."

You guys want modern CAD designed kits from Europe!!!! This is the place!!!
Don’t leave this out guys!
This kit is one of the best I have ever encountered. Is it perfect? Certainly not, but no kit ever is or will be, which is why it takes skill and perseverance to complete such a model. I have completed the transom and the main wales, planked the garboard and am working my way up with a belt from the keel. I used the 3-D printed transom and it worked out fine but, in retrospect, wish I would have used the wooden parts in the original kit. I do not feel comfortable working with these delicate structures. I will probably use the included 3-D headrails, but only as a guide to fabricate out of wood.
The upgraded turned cannons are absolutely beautiful and I am somewhat loath to blacken them. This is, after all, a model. If in doubt, just try to float the most pristine model in your bathtub! By the same token, it seems totally unnecessary to fully rig the guns that lie hidden beneath an upper deck, or am I simply being lazy?
I am enjoying this build immensely and cannot give a higher review to StellaMaris than to say --- Fantastic and keep up the good work!

I don't spend time rigging guns that can't be seen, unless you have lights on between decks to look inside.
