It's looking very good Andrew. I love the way the stain has brought out the detail on the sails.

Today I was in the right frame of mind to attempt phiddly photoetch.

In fact I was on a roll, so I added the sails too!

Still some extra things to do. Enough rigging to look plausible, towels on the sun-loungers etc.

Excellent. Don't forget the water in the swimming pool

For some reason, this comes to mind

Ah-they just don't make naval epics like that anymore!

Some rigging, using EZ-line.

Not all lines are under tension yet

Andrew, that models should become a legend. I have not seen any naval models that small done with so much details unless we are talking about professional ship-in-the-bottle makers. Just splendid

Looking good Andrew. Now, how are you going to get it into the bottle?

The bottle is very, very large.

Sometimes known as a "storage tank"

Thanks

More rigging added this evening. I'm not going to add much more.

I have several full rigging diagrams for Victory

But I think yours will look fine without all that .... The sails really did come out nice.

I think a full rig at this scale might be just a tad tricky

Looks great. All you need now is a micro-scale Nelson!

That would be a half - Nelson
