sign of life.....
Th model has been progressing in minutia.... teeny bits seem like a great achievement-individually they are nothing--collectively they make the end model...
alas it does not make for interesting reading...
The 4 x stocked anchors are scratched
The ships boats have been cobbled together from various items in my scrap-box, some WEM, some Combrig, some old WSW with the large steam-picket boat being entirely scratchbuilt on a wooden carved hull
Thereafter, twixt crew painting and making davits of wire...
the rigging....--I actually enjoy the rigging stage--though ofr a given effect it does seem to have taken forever!!!
The final completion beckons--just the sea, flatcoat touching in...
and onto a model with no masts!!!
