Very nice build Pete. How you folks do P.E. (any P.E.) is a mystery to me. Thank goodness I don't use it!

You will have fun painting into all those nooks and crannies. I don't envy you one bit. I'm sure you will do a great model justice.....Then there's all that juicy rigging...... :anguished:

Chin up Pete, it's only a bit of plastic...... :thumb2:

Cheers Ron, I don't mind 1/35 photo etch but this about my limit, as for nooks & crannies I don't fit any I wondered what those bits were left in the box :thinking: the instructions don't show rigging so must of left port with out it :smiling5: .

First off I apologise to all the real ship & boat builders for the above.
Thank you for looking in and having a look.
Pete.
Pete there is no need to apologise in my opinion I think you have built an painted a very nice model an i would be proud to have it sitting on my sideboard just have to move the white ensign as i think it should be flown from the foremast /mainmast or from the stern but brilliant model an nice to see another ship build very well done indeed sir

Late aboard Pete sorry, but since my run in on 570's sub when he threw me and Polly off I've been weary about all floaty things, any way it's not painted 4 BO.
How on earth did you manage that PE , looks brilliant but would defeat me from the start .
Looks a great build, definitely think those masts look the part, if you hadn't mentioned them don't think I would have realised .

I don't know how you do it Pete with a hairy stick. Very impressive. Hopefully you will do another one soon

Thanks John this is about my limit with PE, the eye sit isn't what it was, but with my new magnifying glasses who knows :nerd: .
