Well guys I have accepted my friends offer and he has picked up the Sovereign of the seas, sort of sorry and also happy as I was not enjoying the experience. I was being a bit careless the last few weeks and rapidly loosing interest in it. Thanks for all the Interest in this build log and just a bit sorry I didn't finish it.
Life is to short to be spending it on something your not enjoying

If you weren't enjoying the build then you've done the right thing Brian. A shame, as we were enjoying it!

That’s a real shame. However, if you don’t enjoy it, you don’t. Have you chosen your next build, or are you having a break?

 

[Bri62]

My next build is in the stash Tim, (HMS Suprise the one featured in the film master and commander) but I will have a break for a couple of weeks and get my head around making all the ropes I need

 

[Bri62]

My next build is by Vanguard and a different league to anything I have built (a lot more expensive too)

Next build
