    The red is an excellent choice, I haven’t seen a red ship yet. I like that very much!

    Thanks everyone for the compliments and for following the ST posts. A special thanks to Dave for creating the sculpt that let us get a realistic Santisima Trinidad on the table. Cheers!

    I am also looking forward to a free weekend Dave.
    Mrs Bligh is out on an embroidery course for two days. so lacking your Elves, it's all hands to the pumps.
    I will follow this product with the same sort of interest which Santisima got.

    My Hull from Clipper made it to Australia mid-week and like Rob, mine is undercoated white awaiting painting.
    Public holiday this coming Wednesday and RDO's Thurs and Fri make for a 5 day weekend coming up so might wait until then.
    I was planning to use Merigildos sails for mine so I could use the F deck as well but noticed my Orient has a snapped foremast
    so I might swap to them now. My rigging on the Orient was tight enough I didn't notice the break until a really close inspection.
    Hopefully for the Santa Ana hull, the postage is the same for an extra hull or 2 to make it a more viable proposition.
    So a very big Thank You David, and look forward to how the next one comes out.

    . . . well hello Ana, lookin' kinda Santa . . .
    Needless to say I'm excited about this Santa (and it's no where near Christmas). I'll take four if you please (Santa Ana, Príncipe de Asturias, Real Carlos and San Hermenegildo). Can't wait to see what the Elves come up with!

    Yes eagerly looking to see how the Santa Ana comes out, I need to replace my Santa Ana and Principe de Asturias for Trafalgar.

    Much happened while I was at sea. I got a padded letter from the states... I haven't had time to open it yet, but I will as soon as I'm home today.

    This is fantastic! Where'd the hull and the ship card come from? ST is the big missing piece for me for doing Trafalgar....

    I’ve found that the first gunports are quite far back. I’m thinking about painting another set in front of those to get the look of having the whole side packed with guns. Anyone having any opinions about that?

    It would certainly reflect the drawing in Richter's book.

    I'm content with the ST I've completed. I might try something different with the second mold Dave sent me, but I'm now caught up in Spring outdoor chores and have little time for hobby activities.

    Adding more guns would be most impressive, even if it's not historically accurate? I say go for the look!

    Now you have me wondering if I should do the same. I'm so easily led by you chaps.
