Having seen HMS Flesher in the float...er, HMS Floater in the
flesh, it's truly impressive. The stern gallery detail is just
magnificent, and though I didn't get the chance to see it with
the rig up, I can imagine how little justice the .jpgs do it.
(I did see the masts, but they were lying down, Forest Fresh...)
One of the coolest innovations, IMHO, is the gunports. It
started out as a second-choice solution, and ended up looking
*far* better than using 2x2 flags. It just feels "heavy", and
all those cannon really are on wheels.
Hey, are you still going to fiddle with replacing those hull
pieces at front and rear before you send 'er to the breakers'?
