Hello Joon Kwon,

Great photos of an awesome build. Any chance you're considering another sailing ship?

I just finished a medieval cog, also a Shipyard kit. Was a fun and interesting build – kind of nice to have so little rigging to deal with.

Just wondering.

Hi Catopower,
Thanks for your kind words.
First ting first, the answer to your question. Not in near future, but in couple of years, I'm planning to build Shipyard's La Belle Poule 1765 1/96k.

Beautiful work Joon.
Looking through all the photos, I was impressed by your attention to the details of the rigging. Including the ropes on the cannons.

May I ask: How did you make your cannon barrels?
