Exciting times. Can you tell us anything of how this ship was constructed?

Thank you, Alan, and it is based on HMCS Rainbow - and the October post (below) has some photos of the construction. The hull is a wooden mixed nut container, with plastic card bow. The fittings are mostly from the scrap box, with some bespoke 25mm cannons and crew.
