So very clean and precise! Love it!
I agree with Paul, your model is one of the most accurate building models. Hence, have my love as well.
I fully underline the words and comments of our friends here
Roger,
Superb work - she's looking awesome....
Regards,
Those guns will look super when fully rigged and the rest of hardware installed on deck.
I love the nice clean look of the ship.
Good morning Roger. Brilliant!!! What they all said… I am in complete agreement with you to rig all these prior to deck fittings. Makes it sooo much easier, if cannon rigging can be made any easier. Kudos. Cheers GrantCarronade update
The carronade construction continues with nine units now ready for final placement after some small adjustments. Then seven more to go, plus two 12 pounder stern chaser cannon. My intention is to get them rigged before securing the many deck fittings, which I have already constructed and bagged.
So a couple of photos. Thanks for following along and for your valuable time and interest.

Good morning Roger. Yep with all those carronades your patience will be tested. With your skill set I see some stunning rigging coming up. Cheers GrantThanks Grant, I’ll be happy if they turn out as good as your rigged canon. I have the carronade rope sitting on my bench at the moment. Hopefully I can test my patience and make a start soon.
Hmm...rigging guns...right at the very bottom of things I enjoy about ship modeling...Carronades continued:
Just a small update with the 16 carronades now constructed and temporarily positioned. Next up is the frigging rigging .
