Joe, I wasn't done with the fiddly cannon bits yet. There are a total of 12 cannons visible on the upper deck. Each cannon has three ropes attached to it to draw it back and forth into position. So a nerve racking 36 times trying to super glue little bits on the cannons.

Chris and Art...thanks my friends.

JC...it's a Teac from '73

This is one of the steps I was very nervous about.....putting on the open cannon doors. Between getting the rigging right and glueing them on with a very small surface contact, I was anticipating problems. But they went on with a minimum of fuss'

Thanks for the encouragement guys

Joe....I would love to find some of those minions in the right size.

More detail work done. All of the side plates are on....just need to finish with the supports that go underneath them.

No plank Brad.....it only comes out when I need to get rid of 'unneccessary baggage'.....lol...dead men tell no tales !

Somehow amongst the hundreds of parts...I manged to lose three of the supports that go below the side plates. So I made some up out of .040 square styrene. The white ones are the clones.

The support in the center of these the is the 'imposter'.

"The swan is on....now I'm looking for a miniature bottle of champagne to christen it with."

So Paul, we've got a damaged case, missing parts and now you want to hit it with a bottle. Man, you build some TOUGH models.

This has gone way beyond my expectations of what can be done with a ship. A tip o' me pirates hat to ye matey.

Hey, everybody else got to talk pirate talk..........
