Looks great mate, you know if you use enamels and you clean your brushes in white spirit, if you rub the dirty thinners over the plastic sails it makes them look more like canvas, you can see the effect in my royal sovereign build.

[Guest]

afraid I just haven't used enamels mate , acrylics are just too easy , for this lazy modeller , LOL

[Guest]

nearly finished , just some coils of rope to add , also added a a pic comparing drakes ship , to nelson;s , apparently the scales are the same
