Its great to see updates on this build! The rigging is exceptional, very fine work. The painting and weathering is on point. Looking forward to HMS Ajax! I hope you are feeling better these days.

I never found the look of HMS York as such that nice to build her, yet I see this model and what an attractive ship this is!

Gentlemen, thank you so much for your kind words!
I bought this kit about twenty years ago. At that time the fine deck planking detail was among the very best. I always found the look of this ship unique and was intrigued to build her. Now I am about to commence building HMS Ajax - my first FlyHawk kit.
My health problem is a chronic one. I will have to suspend my model building activity for some weeks this autumn, and undergo a treatment in hospital, but after that I hope I will be without symptoms for a lengthy period. Thank you all for wishing me well!
