About 6 months, the hull planks and decking has to soak for about one week as you have to shape them, then all the rigging etc is done by hand, there is over 400 knots that have to be tied....all good fun

Despite the small pics i can still see the attention to detail. I collect old childhood diecast. Some would scorn such hobbies but a hobby is healthy so good on ya! :y
