Default RE: Prince de Neufchatel

Thanks...but it is nothing in comparison to some of the ships I've seen being built in other parts of the world...most notably Europe. Any way I am in the process spending considerable time and funds on detail work to the deck for things like carronade/cannon rigging, cannon ball/racks, cannon tools, belaying pins/racks, several hundred eyebolts, spare yards/spars, 9 crew members (will not sail on ship), buckets, barrels, ropes, cleats...etc. I also ordered a new set of sails which I plan to mount more realistically than just glue them to the yards like they are now. I hope she still floats when I'm done...lol I want her to look good in static display as well as on the water. [8D] To answer your question, I will be adding the detailed progress to my website as I go.

Check out these sites for a sample of what is possible:
