Hi Ian
You're doing a great job. That netting was certainly poor. I remember watching the TV when the Mary Rose was raised.

Not much more done to this, but I've got all the decals on. A little fiddly but all sat down very nicely.

[papa 695]

Got the netting sorted a little over scale, but it will have to do.

[papa 695]

I’ve got all the sails painted and fitted, now comes the fun part. Rigging it all.

Hi Ian
Great progress. Very colourful with the decals on. Netting is fine. The sails on these ship models often look less than good but you seem to have got these to work OK.

Brilliant work Ian , what doesnt really come across in the pics is how tiny this thing really is ! the decals and replacement netting look superb . Cant wait to see the 1/400 crew go on !

Looks great! :thumb2:
Saw these in our local Aldi, was tempted just for the price - but not really into sailing floaty things (did one years ago, can't remember which one it was supposed to have been - HMS Victory perhaps :thinking: )
