Looking fine, Leonard, looking fine...just think, the next kit that you build will be so very much easier (hopefully!) with better instructions!!

Thanks for the update,
Keep Modeling!

Very nice work Leonrd. I don't know if I would have put my model on the railing like that.

I'd have to agree with Gator. After all the time you have spent on the build I would find a better place than the rail....I would be way to nervous....... Great build so far.

OK guys here it is in all its glory. its finally finished. I've got parts not shown or used. There are some that i have extra, some not enough. Pictures of the rigging also leave a great deal to be desired. Each sail was pictured by it self along with its rigging and blocks or attachment points. The masts were pictured with block locations at points not easily matched on the actual part. Each mast was pictured twice. Very confusing. check out my photos.

Nice Job, Leonard, she turned out great!

Even though you had some trying times with the build, now that it's over, you can step back and enjoy all of your tribulations, mate...thanks for sharing the experience!
Cheers,

Leonrd - good to see this build. Maybe I can pick up some tips on working in wood. Cheers!

I agree, Leonrd - your ship looks great! I have to try wood someday. When I do, I hope it turns out as well!
