discussion Brian's Sovereign of the seas

[Bri62]

This morning was a trial in scratch building something I have never done before and TBH something I don't enjoy (kits should fit together) but hey we all can't be a wizard

 

[Bri62]

I managed to finish the bow, it was a pain to scratch and I'm angry I had to but it's done! I wonder how much more won't fit?

 

[Bri62]

Progress!

I joined the forum half way through your HMS Tiger and was blown away by the talent by lots of people in the forum something I will strive to copy

Started the second hull planking after a bit of research the average plank was 25 foot long so I'm doing 5" planks, going to take a while and I can't see you lot being that interested so progress won't be updated quite so often

Love the methodical way you plan this Bri
