My dear friend Paul

Thank you, gentlemen!

Thanks, Chris. I feel better about my future with this model than I did a month ago. I have a pretty low level of confidence that I have everything right - but I'm in the ballpark.

Apart from the two POF models built in conjunction with the development of the monograph (and for which there are no sequential build reports) what you are looking at might be the only SP stern section in existence (apart from an abandoned model on the French Arsenal website). I find this extraordinarily odd. Any thoughts?

Hi Paul,
I think its a newer monograph that has not been in print long and many modelers would shy away from a 17th Century three decker with ornate carvings - thats pretty much the most difficult ship to attempt. And this particular author's monographs can be very challenging to decipher.
