Peter, that is impressive. I've just worked the length out in old money.......over 28"! That's one mother of a kit.

Does it come with those great sail decals?

I'm sure you'll do it justice.

Great, they do look impressive.

I see I'm first in the viewing queue, so I can have my choice of seats - at the front, whilst I have the chance!

Here we go with the next round of pics this comprises of the hull and main deck put together and the some twenty odd canons.

So far i have had no build issues but there is a long way to go so thanks for looking.
