Thanks Bill, much appreciated.
It's an 1823 French topsail schooner by Corel 1/72 scale.
It's not strictly accurate, I dumped the ropey looking carronade which came with the kit & replaced them with Caldercraft's carronades for a beefier look.
The jolly boat at the stern is a Master Korabel kit.
It's my first 'real' build after being put off ship building for two years by the travesty that is Agostini's Sovereign of the Seas (don't get me started on that...)

Shows the value of natural light. Beautiful. Must have been a great little privateer. A bas les anglais!

Thank you bro. Apparently it was used against slavers.
Thanks for sharing. The ship has unusual deadeyes or what functions as them. Have you seen those kinds on other ships?

Very nice .. great effort. I looked at this again and the level of detail is excellent, including the tool to prime/prepare the canon.

They're turnbuckles or bottlescrews & were supplied with the kit.
Very nice looking ship. Great detail. I built this ship back in the 80's. Of course mine didn't look nearly as good as yours.
