Hello Ken, let me write that wooden ships are my favorite modeling experience….my opinion is, this genre is the real deal.  

This model is looking very good.  I can imagine this being as Artesania Latina rendition (edit;  you mentioned Corel) , and your attention to cannon rigging is well done, the planking looks to be correctly executed on the deck and hull, and the overall appearance is a treat.  Did I say that I love wooden ship models…?  lol.

A magnificent model, compliments.  I'll be dropping by when you update, thanks for sharing this endeavor.

thank you Mike, glad you like it

nice job, color looks spot on. my brother still has his orange crate bicycle in original condition. unfortunately my lemon peeler was sold to a neighbor when I got older.

What a great story, a great tribute and beautifully built aircraft. These are, hands down , truly one of the most beautiful fighter aircraft ever built.

Very well detailed, very cleanly built and beautifully painted Mustang James. Thanks for sharing.

That looks real nice, I've been wanting to do a real wood plank on frame ship model. Truly got to be a lot of work, but man the final product is worth it. Great job!

That is some mighty impressive work. When I first saw it I was amazed and the more I look the more I see. Does anyone know how to get my jaw back off the floor?

thank you for the kind words, it's hard to catch the beauty of the wood in pictures.
