I don't know it's not going to be straight forward like the Royal Sovriegn was plus lots of research needed as the colours are all wrong on the airfix artwork.

Hi all I've decided to display it on the turn with the gun ports open and water just starting to enter, I think that's a fitting setting.

Hi all here's a question I've been pondering since I started this build. If you were and experienced old sea dog(never sailed a ship in my life, don't know one end of a spar from the other) and you could see what was about to happen, let's say the ship is listing to port, would you jump onto the sea off the port side or hang off the starboard side and wait for it to sink.

Nice paint work! I could see where a man could go blind doing all that small detail. As for a sinking ship I'd be torn between getting off with something to float on right away and waiting to see how long I could hang on and maybe find a larger chunk of debris to grab on to. If you wait and hang on till the ship sinks, you could get sucked underwater as the ship slips below the surface?

Nice trick, Ken. I've been pondering the idea of making molds lately. There are some basic starter kits available at the local Hobby Lobby which got me to thinking of it. So far I've really come across nothing I need to copy however. The ship is looking good so far.
