Amati make a range of sailing vessels of various levels of complexity, Alternatively try Wonderland Models or Premier Ship Models (who have an excellent walk-through menu) for other manufacturers! Good luck mate!

Nearly done!

Just done a bit of upcycling (as the yoof say), couple of slats from our new tumble dryer packaging chopped up, glued, sanded and stained with Jim's £1 sample bottle! It'll be used as a plinth.

Finished! Actually been finished a while, just took a while to get the photo spot cleared.

I'll take a video later to show the lighting in action, but for now some snaps.

As ever, any suggestions for improvement would be very helpful to me.

Thanks to all for your help with this. Learned so much and I'm very happy with the results.

I think you've done a lovely job on this mate; without wishing to appear overly critical may I just say that, in future builds, you may wish to reduce the thickness of the ratlines ( the 'steps') compared to the thickness of the shrouds (the main supporting ropes of the masts). Forgive me for any 'slight' I may have cast on your excellent work.

Not at all mate, you're bang on. I've already bought a jig and I'll be doing my own from now on as opposed to using the horrible plastic things which come in the kit. I'll use them on the next boat then, if it goes well, I'll retrofit to this!

Anyway, that's very worthwhile feedback. And thanks to everyone else as well.
