Hellow everyone been about a month since my last post. For those wondering I am indeed working away at my models. Progress is slow but more are on their way. But in the meantime here's a little something I put together over the past few days. It is a 1/76 scale model of the HMS Beagle, the ship that Charles Darwin sailed on. At first I was skeptical on how it would turn out but I must say I am very impressed with how it has turned out. Here are a few photos of the model which not takes pride of place on my windowsill. I hope you enjoy.

| View from the starboard side. Really quite impressed with how tough this little model is. |
 |
| Bow detail. One small bow chaser on a turntable with anchors either side. |
 |
| One of my favourite features are these little boats that hang rather snuggly of the stern. |
 |
| Something else I love about this model is how it can inform all my other ship builds. With regards to how to properly design and layout sails and masts. |
 |
| View from above. Struggled to get the light on it correctly rather difficult I am afraid. |
 |
| Close up view of the deck. I placed a model down while I was building to test for size indeed even though this model is 1/76 and therefore smaller than 1/72 you really do get a good sense of just how compact these vessels really are. |
Well I hope you enjoyed this post about a ship. A big thankyou to my parents who bought this as a present for me at Christmas. Finally got around to making it. As I said before I am steadily working away at painting up various miniatures, so look out for posts in the not too distant future. In addition my sculpting work continues at a slow but steady pace. Unsure when I will be done with either of the figures but again something to look out for. But until then I wish you all a good day/night and look forward to hearing from you all again soon.
