Great choice. I love modelling ships. The rigging will take you forever though I promise you.

BertieRooster: Thanks. Yeah I think I'm going to have fun with it. Rigging and all! :argh:

Here is the start of the Shell of the boat and the Captains Wheel (No idea that the proper terminology is)

i can't wait to see what details you are gonna put into this one.

nice work!

Oh, nice choice. And a good start with nice modelling so far.
I didn't even know they used a miniature in that film, or that Weta was responsable.
Very impressive.

Thanks Nothingness and PKT.
