I think you've done a lovely job on this mate; without wishing to appear overly critical may I just say that, in future builds, you may wish to reduce the thickness of the ratlines ( the 'steps') compared to the thickness of the shrouds (the main supporting ropes of the masts). Forgive me for any 'slight' I may have cast on your excellent work.

Not at all mate, you're bang on. I've already bought a jig and I'll be doing my own from now on as opposed to using the horrible plastic things which come in the kit. I'll use them on the next boat then, if it goes well, I'll retrofit to this!

Anyway, that's very worthwhile feedback. And thanks to everyone else as well.

I don't know how I missed this one Bobby, great work all-round, loving the lighting and great work with the rigging.

 

[skinflint]

Sailing ships are a long term build but give cracking results, such as this, when completed. Really enjoyed following the build.

 

[JR]

Well done .

Not then Chris, it was only this year she went on the course for the A10 guided needle system. Apparently it can deliver a multi injection to at least 5 people standing near each other !
