Hi Clare. Hey, what a great minimalist look... makes a change from all the Bling you see on some Men o' War.
Luv it

Thanks very much guys. It's an interesting project. It's going to get even more interesting when I try to tackle the side paddle wheels. The hull is interesting as, compared to most sailing ships up to this point, it's very straight, the bottom is very flat, the hull is very long and very narrow.

Certainly won't have to be dealing with the big round apple bow of the early days of sail, so that part should be pretty easy.

I just laid the last of the deck planks, so I'll start trunnelling and building up the bulwarks next. I'll keep you posted.
