Hi Haddock,

I take my hat off to you sir.
Glazing windows in 1/350th, now that's attention to detail!!

Just realized that if I blow some matt varnish on now I'm going to have some very dirty windows!!

It really is looking excellent. My hat is veritabily lifted t you sir!

               Ships boats can be a bit tedious, boat cradles are even worse, especially if they don't fit the boat.

             Bit more detail added, pity the ladders are too short, seems to be a common fault and a shim below the bottom of the ladder looks daft so I ain't bothered.

Fore-topmast in place, no rigging yet. Not as nice a white as Kevin's but it will have to do. According to WEM, white is the correct colour, so there!

How many ships at one time?
You little tinker.

Starting with some rigging, I think I must have a "thing" about signal halyards.

Will the rigging be visible on the finished model or will we have to trust you that it's there?  That's some fine work - in all senses of the word!

You should be able to see it from normal viewing distance, depends on the background.

What you won't see is the bloke in the heads having a dump but he's there , honest!

What a sad sense of humour you engineers have.
Nice modelling though.

Hope this answers your question. The camera seems to see more than the naked eye. It should look busier with the halyards added. Believe it or not the background is actually white card, so much for accurate colour reproduction.

It's strange but they look quite thick in the photos whereas on your models thay are hardly visible - where's the bloke?

[Kiteman]
