This looks to be a great playing piece, with so much beautiful detail.

Thanks for sharing.

The site looks great too - wish there was a translation!

Good job and good find Admiral!
I can't wait to see the finished model.

From my experience, in order to find the correct fittings you have to check several suppliers, and find the correct ones (i.e. more beautiful for your purpose)

The site looks great too - wish there was a translation! 

Not quite necessary, there is a lot of pictures and with patience you can find whatever you want!

[Johnno]

WOW! Great work so far.
Cant wait for the next installment

Admiral, you have a level of workmanship that I can only describe as inspiring. Thanks for sharing what looks to be another incredible project.

[Gluteus Maximus]

Stunning work! I can't wait to see it finished and with it's crew aboard.

I bet Plynkes would love to have this model 

[jimpan]

I am very inspired by your work, keep it up 

[Smokeyrone]

That's   good work.

[Traveler Man]

Wonderful work from the hands of a true master modeller!   

[Admiral Benbow]

Some more details this time: deck railing added from model railroad fences, sun blind finished, some stairs and the masts added. The deck railing is in fact too low for a 28 mm figure standing behind, but on the other hand the ship looks more "in scale" with lower railings.









The Reviresco stuff has arrived and I'm not really impressed. The castings are definitely showing their age, some look quite crude.  And if I order such stuff, I just only want to get intact pieces, not broken ones ... Grumbl, grumble  ... Anyway, I just hope painting will conceal most of the defects.

Will be away from home next week (for a well earned trip to Mallorca with my wife and son ... ), so don't expect the next part too early.

I have started working on a boat aswell so it is fun to see other projects aswell. Great work!

[Ignatieff]

Just beautiful.  No other words to describe it.   

[Captain Blood]

Wonderful, Michael 

She won't be sailing to Kiel any time soon will she? 

Enjoy Mallorca. I'm off to the Algarve for a week tomorrow 

[Wirelizard]

Wow, this is a great project. Incredibly clean build; like others, I can often be of the "hack about, then disguise the errors with paint and weathering" school of building!

Can't wait to see this progressing when you get back from your trip.
