Greetings...

Is the jack staff welded to place? How did you make the top part of the mast? If only we could see a closer pic of that.

The life rafts are pretty impressive. Should n't there be some oars near by? Attached maybe?

Admiral HHHH is probably an oar short.

Score one for the Pirates!

Well Guys, I will be stopping the build for awhile, I am going to post 11 photo,s 1 each day, they were taken in the garden in some nice light.

As for the mast ,it was soldiered , the jack staff was fitted though a hole that I drilled into the mast and then soldiered, the button on the mast was a brass port hole soldiered on top, as for the OARS,

I think that the CiC 's garden must be the most famous garden amongst the modelling society

Duane is looking great also. Can't wait to see her finished.

I'm loving it, too! And knowing all of the craftmanship that lies beneath the top layers makes it even more impressive, to me.

I'd like to see the admiral tackle a tall ship!

Posted: **Sat Jul 19, 2008 2:28 pm**

And I f someone takes in mind all the detail of the making process... WOOAAAAA

Despite the oar shortage...
