Hi All,

See, I do build ships!

This is Heller's 1/75 Pinta. Amost complete but she's been setting on the top shelf for 8 years. My first sailing ship since USS Constitution 30 years ago (unrigged), I went whole-hog with the rigging.

Should I hold or fold this model?

Hi Fred,

Worth finishing off I'd say.

Thanks for sharing,
