Peter,
Amazing detail- great work- you need steady and focused eyes and hands, and especially, patience. A miniature Nelson would feel at home...
What is the brand and color of the blue on your ship ?

Wonderful presentation!
Fot the oars and sweeps: Best to cut first the top, then the sides of the block of 4, than the handles, all with a very sharp blade/scalpel. Afterwards split the block of 4, put them sideways and with a fine file carefully take the supports off. And then paint first one end and after drying the other. I used medium brown as a base and a light brown for the dry brushing of highlights and color nuances.

Well after 15months work I think I'm done apart from making a case for it, Heller victory with many enhancements,
Wood deck, ropes(needed more) and flags from hismodels.
7 sheets of etch and resin enhancements, including full block set from Dafi, with final parts being oars gratefully received to Finnish model off.
It's the longest I've spent building one model and the most expensive model ive ever built, but if you work out how long it took to build well over 1000hrs I'm more than happy with it.
Will I build another sailing ship never say never but definitely not for a while lol
