My very first ship model started while in the US Navy around 1976. The masts and spars are not really tapered noticiable as I did not know how to do that yet back then. I did try to coil rope on the deck from belaying pin racks to add a bit of realism to the kit, I read one of the early books by Keith Julier and Wolfgangs book on historic ship modeling.100_1258.JPG100_1259.JPG100_1260.JPG100_1261.JPG100_1262.JPG100_1263.JPG100_1264.JPG100_1267.JPG100_1268.JPG100_1269.JPG100_1270.JPG100_1271.JPG100_1272.JPG100_1273.JPG100_1275.JPG100_1276.JPG100_1277.JPG100_1278.JPG100_1279.JPG100_1283.JPG
