Next on the workbench is this one, another Mediterranean type. Could also be called a 'galleas' I suppose, the last type to employ oar-power as well as sail.  |

This will be interesting indeed  . I'm thinking "rigging in 1/450"  |

Gonna be a brute as the thing has shrouds and ratlines as well as all the other stringy bits.

Some progress, most of it built. The whole thing will need to be painted before adding rigging and the rest. In the meantime some paint has been splashed around to delineate bits.  |

Cheers. Patience will be necessary as I'll end up with what looks like a finished model but is in fact only 75% done.

You’re a brave man! I’d have took one look inside the box and put it away again...

Further halting progress, an improptu weekend stay in hospital hasn't helped   The 'plan' is now to tidy paint and star rigging. |

Hope it was nothing serious George? Love the way the glazing is taking shape at the stern |

Thanks guys. Might do the rear windows(portholes?) with a yellow border to fit in with the framing. Depends on how I get on.
On the other front a regression of a current condition, lost some ground but holding the line.
