723 hours in. Figure head is on and mostly painted. Netting is complete except a couple on the masts later on. Quarter davits for the slung cutters is on. I still need to paint the rear details and add the lanterns. All cannon doors windows and final overall paint. Spirit sail and jib boom are on. Also about a hundred figures to paint and pose. Foremast is roughed in. It is taking shape faster than I expected! I will have to scratch build the two slung cutters and I plan on having the launch hoisted over the side. Pinnace, Barge and small cutter will be in the cradles. Anchors are assembled and puddening is complete.

Woot Wooot!

Well, all three masts are roughed out so now I know how tall she is. I also got started on the boats. Here is the Launch, which so far has about ten hours invested in it and is ready to paint. It is a miniature of the large process which is plank on plank two layers thick. What makes it tough is it has to look good on the inside as well as the outside since both are visible. The matching cutters are scratch built. They were towed behind at the battle so the Kit screwed me and didn't include them. I drafted up the plans and used a jigsaw to cut them out.

What's the update? Honestly, it looks rather stunning... May The Rick Copeland have it?

Incredible work especially for a "first kit" (though I can see by the planes hanging from the rafters you've likely been building models for a while. around my kids soccer schedules I've been hoping to get back to my modeling bench but, I don't know when that's likely,... even when they started their own kits we've found the time interrupted and their progress stalled.

I only have one criticism and it seems to be a very common one I've noted on a lot of very good models over the years,... the model looks very realistic but, the people stick out artificially. If I could make a suggestion, weather them a bit, dull down the clothing and dirty them up a bit. People in a work environment hardly ever look clean, even a model one of my friends did of a frigate entering port with sailors in whites looked much better when he weathered the sailors slightly, the difference was amazing and it was far better than his other alternative of removing every figure.
