Si.
Looks like the Revell 1/50 scale. Nice, should look a cracker when finished.

Jim, I've just had a look at the box art for this....


64 individually painted shields + 32 oars. This will look superb.


Keep us posted with the progress.

Are you not painting this model jim, you might find it difficult with the rigging on.

Jim it would look so much better painted, you could make it look like real wood, I would definitely put at least a wash over it to bring the wood grain detail out. Shame on you that's lazy modeling. Btw has dad not told you how to weather a sail. Get your old thinners get a brush load of the sludge in the bottom and scrub it into the sail now you've got the colour on it should really pop.

Your thinners are not dirty enough Jim look at my Royal Sovriegn topic you need to apply the sludge let it dry then using a tissue wipe from the top of the sail to the bottom, the idea is to make it look like rain and wind have stained the sail, imagine the dirt being washed down through the sail in a stormy sea with the sail shopping wet.
