(...) Ahoy, Nice work! The shaping of the sterncastle is very nice. You've captured some great detail in this vessel... it's always good to be able to access the interior (and it's something that I don't provide for in many of my vessels). I'm not (...)

Hello, The Blackhawk is finally ready for new adventures. This is 17-century heavy galleon, equipped with 7 sails, 8 cannons and 10 people of crew. In the sterncastle there's captain's room, which can be pulled out by the back wall to acces the (...) (21 years ago, 14-Oct-03, to lugnet.pirates, FTX)

This one is really TOP ! Perfect job, I love it. One small minor point: I see these non-shooting canons on deck. The fact they can't shoot, doesn't mean 'no bullets needed' !! I think you should add some, just for looks of course :-) Great work! (...) (21 years ago, 8-Oct-03, to lugnet.pirates)
