spent windy weekend making up six smaller turrets and i have spent the last two weeks looking for my metal barrels with no joy and on the point of buying some new ones and i found them sitting on the shelf i had been walking past without even checking .
i have left the barrels unpainted as i think they look better

[peterairfix]

almost finished i have added the main mast all the armaments are finished not much to go all being well i should be finished in about a months time
some pics of how it looks at the moment

Nice progress Peter, that's absolutely huge! Cheers

[peterairfix]

final round of pics before completion i have finished the main build just the smaller pieces and the stand to go and the rigging

I find it quite amazing just how much detail can be had from just flat and bend cardboard. Looks great.

[Steven000]

Yes looks very detailed indeed, I don't think I would have the patience to make card-models like this, but you're doing great. have fun 👍

[peterairfix]

almost finished i made up all the smaller boats over the weekend

[Jim R]

Amazing when you consider it is cardboard.

[peterairfix]

almost finished added the props and bilge keel and anchor chains
one tip for the chains i find that looking at the second hand jewellery in charity shops usually turns up something

An impressive looking model Peter, nice job

[Jim R]

Definitely impressive. Still can't get over the fact that it's card.
