Chris, thank you for sharing this build with us. You have done a truly amazing job. She is lovely. :hatsoff:

Congratulations on the newest addition to your collection. :g&t:

Hear, hear.

You do truly admirable work.

Chris, you are an incredible modeler. You are bringing your ship to life. I can't get over the quality of your sails, water, crew, actually, the whole ensemble. Really well done.

She's looking lovely, Chris, and the sails look great. I agree with Rory; having more crew, especially above the deck working the sails, will look great.

The crew effect looks excellent. Rory is right - a definite working ship.

I just ordered it and this book on Cochrane - http://www.amazon.com/Lord-Cochrane-Liberator-Dundonald-Classics/dp/0805059865/ref=pd_sim_sbs_b_2

Thanks for the recommendation. amazon had both for...

Chris, thanks for sharing that story. That is very, very impressive. I hope his grandson appreciates the depth of sacrifice, and rewards his grandfather by busting his own backside on his education.

She really is looking great, Chris.

Seeing the sails from one of your other ships in the background in the top closeup makes me wonder how she would photograph, when finished, with a scenic...

I cannot imagine how large of an area would be needed to do Trafalgar in this scale. It would be impressive to see.

Chris, I appreciate your attitude about the cannon, and being unable to replace...

Chris, that bird's-eye view without the masts and sails nicely shows some details. She is looking lovely, and that water looks real.

Truly admirable. Keep up the great work. :hatsoff:

The water really is amazing. Your lack of using of skill is dumbfounding.

It really does. It has me thinking about how primer can be used for more than preparation for painting. Do you think the same effect would take place with pewter minis?

I received the Tumbling...

I can see from these pictures how the black comes through a bit on the Ochre. I agree with you, it adds a nice touch or feel to the wood look.

Very exciting watching this take shape.

It does look beautiful, Chris.

Congrats on your promotion. :salute:

Really great work, Chris. Thanks for the reply on painting. Sue has been painting minis all week - fantasy game pieces. I think when she sees this, a ship will be on her horizon.

As for the...

Very striking, thus far, Chris.

I take it that painting over black is not too difficult, that the black does not "bleed" through, if you will?

The cup of tea does give good perspective. The...

I just heard back from Rob. Unfortunately, he doesn't carry Tumbling Dice 1:4800, so it is off to England with an order.

Thanks Vol. I just posted Rob an email about how to order these from him.

Hi Ed,

I have not. I ordered the recent Langton 1:1200 74-gunner from Rob. Since then, he and I have corresponded a bit. He seems to be a wonderful guy. I will look at his website today. I would...

Cory, did you order those from England? I have some in the cart ready for purchase, but thought I would check to see if they can be ordered from a distributor here.

Thanks Chris. From my vantage point, your large ship looks beautiful.

I can't imagine painting something like the 1:4800 in anything other than crude strokes in which the basics are painted, but...

Chris, what is it like building something at this scale compared to 1:1200? Is it easier? Harder? How would you compare the tradeoff between greater detail, therefore more complexity, and larger...

Yes, Chris, please let us go along with you on this journey. Really looking forward to watching this.
