Default Another Bottled ship

I made this quite a few years back, and time has not been kind as I notice the foremast is canted slightly for'ard instead of the usual 3 degrees astern, guess time and temperatures have caused threads to lose tension..
The ship was considered to be a beginners pattern and I think it was the first one I built...I do rember that in the bottle and ready for rigging, there were 65 tan threads waiting to be tightened in sequence. Oh boy! the things we do for fun eh?

Nice schooner Bill. Great job on her. A lot of hours tied up in that model!

Well, you can always claim the forward tilt is deliberate as the ship just came through nor'easter.

Looks good!
