When you open the photo it is the correct way round - so Zak you don't have to lay on the carpet (in case you go to sleep and don't get your normal 25 models finished per day !!!!! )

It looks good at any angle Haddock.

At least people are noticing and commenting on the work to date.

Bit more progress. I'm starting to have nightmares about spiders webs, there are ten stays supporting the topmast and eleven supporting the mainmast, plus the yard-lifts. I've lost count of funnel stays. Pity about the rubbish pictures.

Still a very impressive looking vessel though!  Plenty of firepower looking at it too!

How do you keep your hands still enough to place them so precisely??

Looks good Haddock.

Thinking about the new Star Wars film Haddock reminds me of Yoda ---  "about a bit poke it I do" ----   he is also a real jedi master at all he undertakes.

He is my master - I just wish I had the skills to be his apprentice.
