Looking good though, very nice lines, particularly given the hoover incident.

Hull is done apart from a few little details such as the anchor etc but it needed a light coat of primer on it to see if there was anymore touching up to do. Masts have been started as well. There is a fighting top in these pictures but it won't be on the final model (clients choice). The deck still needs a touch of paint and the guns needs finishing off as well (they only have their base coats on). Then the hull will be going a very, very dark grey and the interior hull will be white. These a good opportunity for some lovely weathering and I'm looking forward to doing it.

Cracking work, really like the shape you have achieved.
I can't remember, is this a real ship or from your imagination?

Cheers Colin  :)

It's based on one called the Vipre but has elements from others. The info, although plentiful is a bit sketchy, mainly etchings from the period but large sized images.

Amazing ship!

How much are you charging for one of these, just a ballpark figure?
