Thanx friends

I just love old ships, Galleons mainly an I´m trying to make them the best as I can.
Added some parts on the ships - stairs, doors - and gallion mainly. Gallion is made timber-by-timber, haha. It takes a lot of time, but it look quite good then. I have the balcony almost completed - see the last picture - , it is necesarry to put the decoration on it.
The basic hull is almost completed, have its form as a galleon, now is time to complete the hull with small pieces, haha

I´ll continue describing the progress as soon as possible.

Hold on !

Thanx a lot, friends,

I´m glad the ship is nice to you!!!

Some pieces added - balcony mainly, the shape of the hull is completed now.
I´ve just started railing ( bottom is almost finished, upper part after turrets adding - I´m just working on them, it´sreally funny ) , I have to finish the gunports - and then - only work with small pieces, rigging.......uff....
By the way, I think it will be the first old Ark Royal made from paper, haha.

See you very soon

To Rick: Maybe one day someone release the paper model of this beauty, who know... only plans from Aeropiccola are available, I have them, but I overworked them totally, using different sources... but we have to hope.

If this is the first Ark Royal ever rendered in paper, it will set high standard.
Very beautiful ship Jan.
