HSPMS Member Clare Hess posted this latest update on his build of the British snow-rigged brig HMS Wolf. This is a laser-cut card model from the Polish kit maker Shipyard. These unique kits are known for their high degree of detail and are available in the U.S. through Ages of Sail.

This is a unique type of kit which has all the necessary parts pre-cut, including the hull planking. Masts and spars, however, have to be built up from wood dowels provided in the kit. The kit also includes resin castings for the figurehead and brass barrels for the cannons, plus rigging line, paints, and brushes. Ω
