Another boat! I like boats.
Bought from a well knowm auction site for not much. Revell sent me a replacement set of instructions without argument.
Box is battered to a pulp, but amazingly the sprues are intact. No bits detached.
Got the hull together and painted (four coats!). Last coat had an unfortunate dribble in the green which will need sorting. Some very minor flashing but much less than previous I've done. Just a shame that the white plastic is lacking opacity, which means painting inside as well.
I'll put some simple lighting in this one, add some humanity and finally have a pop at some sails. On the whole I'll be doing it per instruction - the real thing is pretty pristene, so just a touch of weathering here and there. I'll maybe pretty up the white plastic to my own eye.
