I have to say I am fairly pleased with the outcome of this.
For once I appear to have made good on my intentions so no harm, no foul there.
Also makes a nice change to do something wood and boat like without the need for bristling with cannons.
Nothing wrong with the serious armament you understand, but a change is a s good as a rest so this is it.

For anyone wanting to have a go at wooden ship modeling and never tried it, you can't go wrong with this kit as a starter.
Simple, neat and she looks a pretty little lass when done, even straight out of the box built.

So, hope you enjoyed the gallery.
And i'll leave you with some words that were in a way a starting inspiriation for this build...
