    Sorry guys, I haven't checked in for several days. Thank you for the nice comments on my Purisima, and for the reputation points Rob and Julian.
    Jonas your Purisima is lovely. Mine is one of Simon's, yours is Henry's I think. There are some differences I can see.
    I love the way the ordinance Henry is doing is turning out. I want to try some but my printer has been on the fritz for a while now.

    I am slowly building the Duguay Trouin from one of Simon's Temeraire hulls. Tonight I got the first half of the standing rigging done. Sorry no pic of it. The last photo I took was of the sails on the main mast and the spars going on the foremast. My first try at cloth sails.

    The sails look very smart Vol. The last time I tried anything in fabric was many years ago when I did the membrain on the wings of a Games Workshop Dragon. What textile do you use and what stiffening method do you employ to hold the shape. I used my old standby of watered down PVA glue in several coats for mine. i will post a picture later when I get a chance to take a photo of it.

    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.
