| Very nice! A little tall for my tastes but all round well done. I haven't seen many ships in blue and white for the original blue (french) soldiers. God Bless, Nathan (18 years ago, 6-Jul-06, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.general, FTX)

And two masts, for a vessel this length is just right. Did you consider (...) (18 years ago, 4-Jul-06, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.general, FTX)
