Launch!

Done! Didn't take a progress pic of black undercoat, but I trust you can picture it. Also, decided to skip rigging. Couldn't get my fat fingers in there. The next one, I'll maybe do the rigging before attaching the masts. Anyway!

Well, the fit and finish may not be the best in HM's Navy, but I'm darn pleased with these. I had fun, and they taught me a lot that will go into future builds.
