    So says you, what I see is a work of art. Those guns !!! Watching this build take shape, is an honour. Jon

    Forward and aft guns mounted, ignore all the black threads, I find it easier to add the rigging to the deck mounts before the masts go on. I've made a start on the boat davits, adding the PE detail to the plastic part. This build seems to be getting smaller, but I think it's well worth adding all this PE, although it does limit how much I can do at a time. Jon

    Had a bit of a rest from this, but I've added the wheel and ladders. And the supports for the ships boats. And the midships gun.

    Just put @ and then start typing the users tag. Jon

    That use of flattened dental floss is very good, it does give the impression of flat straps. Jon

    There’s a point when the building doesn’t seem to show results. Its bad enough with 1/350, even worse with 1/700. Jon

    TINY figures, they’ll be fun. Jon

    Sorry Beefy, but I honestly can’t remember, and my WIP isn’t much use. This was from when I had just ‘found’ ship building, so my information was a bit lacking. Jon

    Early spuds are showing, excellent. Jon

    That's the railings done. I think I'll add the ships boats next, or at least the davits etc, however I need to figure out where the rigging is going to attach to the deck, so it doesn't foul the boats. Jon

    I have looked Swordfish parts, but as you say the postage is a bit high. Interesting to se them though. Jon

    Ah, the eternal cry. After assembling many PE parts AND kits, I’ve come to the conclusion that, those who write the instructions DO NOT use them to assemble the parts. Jon

    When I get to the argh point, I usually leave well alone, and resort to mayhem on my PS4. Jon

    Be interested to see them Jon

    I’m coming to the end of the ‘steam’ era part of this, and fast approaching the ‘sail’ era. In other words, the masts, which I’ve been sort of looking forward to, as I’m going to make them from brass, as the plastic ones are very flimsy and won’t take too kindly to being rigged. And talking of rigging, THAT is going to be a challenge, one of my least practiced part of shipbuilding. Jon
