Same - just a different background. I've made up my mind... decided that the next model will be the HMS Surprise - the ship used in the Master & Commander, Far side of the World movie some years ago.

The Artesania Latina model of the HMS Surprise is a BIG model compared to this one. This one is 420mm from the end of bowsprit to the stern. The HMS Surprise, in comparison, is 1.3m long an 950 mm tall.

And, no, I do not know (yet) where it will be placed once it has been completed. That is the subject of 'negotiations' for the future :).

Talking to others on one of the ship building forums, it will probably take me 2 years or even longer to complete the HMS Surprise if I work at the same pace as I did on this model... but then, the whole idea is to do it as a means of relaxation, so that doesn't phase me...

I've placed the order for the model today. Most likely that I will only receive it early October.

I will create a new pblog thread once I start on the model.
