Definitely getting there. 

Got the legs done today.  Next I need to assemble the doors and cut the roof and floor boards, then take everything apart, sand, stain, and varnish.

Starting the legs

Test fitting

Adding the outer door stops

Gluing up the first leg. Reinforced strapping tape followed by a mess o' clamps.

Blog title and picture are hereby corrected. Apologies to Lord Nelson.

Here's a shot of the actual ship, complete with proper colors and authentic copper bottom.
