Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory

Very nice patient work Brian. I just wonder about the size of the coils at the end of the running out rig. When the guns are placed together will the coils from neighboring guns get a bit cramped.? BTW there is a belief that, at sea, the lines were not coiled, since they would slide about and generally get in the way. They were instead simply wound around the section between the two blocks.

Anyway enjoying your meticulous work on this model keep it coming.

Took a while to get the first in place but I should get quicker as time goes on
