    A very fine model if I may say so Jonas.

    The ship ain't bad either.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Jonas, did you plunder the lateen mizzen from an Ares Tonnant? It looks very nice! It makes me want to make a Götheborg. I'll add it to my project list...

    Yes, Dobbs. It's the base of the Tonnant mizzen. You've got a good eye.

    I split it at the place it's glued. Switched masts and kind of topmasts to the sails and topgallant mast.

    Thank you all. Thank you Dobbs for the reputation.

    Julián, the wood colour is very good. It fits well. It's the original model's colour.

    Ok, I thought it was also repainted. A very beautiful ship. The colors of the Swedish fleet have always seemed to very beautiful.
