Hello Ken, Still watching and enjoying your build. I remember the day when I had gun ports spread all over my bench. Nice work, good luck, and looking forward to seeing your completed ship.

Hi Ragnar, Thanks for following my build and for your very kind comments. Yes gun ports, I was dreading these but once that I got my head around a production line they were done much quicker than I’d expected. I did have one issue, I’d concentrated on the main ports and completely forgot about the stern ones, it was only when I came to photograph it for my log that I realised I’d missed them out and had to return to my workbench to complete the job.
 
Hi Ken,

I just found your build thread. You are doing a beautiful job. It is amazing that you started your build in February. I will be following along and enjoying your work.

Hi Bill. Thanks for your kind comments. I have been building it for four months now, I got it for Xmas and started it on Boxing Day, so fast but not quite as fast as you thought
