Brian's Sovereign of the seas

That’s interesting. Finish has come out well.
However, the more I think about it, I wonder how long it lasted in service? It certainly wouldn’t have the adhesion and toughness of modern paints, and there would be no way to repaint her unless she was either heeled right over (difficult I would think) or taken back out of the water. Friction would be expected to quickly erode the paint during sailing as well. Looks good though 😉

Broadside guns installed and what a pain in the a*s nothing lined up and had to fit lots of blocks to mount the guns in. This kit is absolutely the worst fit ever :(

Great job. You have retained the beautiful wood finish but the white hull really sets off the black, gold and wood surfaces.

Thanks John glad you suggested it, I agree looks great
