Hi everybody; I'm a devotee of Nelson's navy, and the Jack Aubrey novels by Patrick O'Brien. Jack is continuously looking to increase the speed of a new command, with hold re-stowing, mast stepping, and raking, and as a throwback to earlier years cross-cat-harpins to get a degree or two better angle on his braced yards. For years I'd wondered what they were, and found out on line. And I found a link to Ships of Scale. Its probably sixty years since I last built a kit model,( A Keil Kraft sabre jet with a Jetex motor, ) and may never do so again. Whatever, I'm wonderfully pleased to have stumbled on to Scale. Thank you.
