Thanks Graham, I'll change that when I begin work on her again. But strewth  I'm glad I wasn't there when you showed it to someone else, especially a Kiwi who might know her well. I've done my best with the source material, but as you'll know there isn't a lot around, and no decent drawing. Still, I'm very fond of this one, and I like the 'cut of her jib'

Kim, there is a small unfilled part on the right side of the Fleur-de-lis symbol. Otherwise, a magnificent work. |
