Beautiful work! I am going to start this kit next week. I already have the wooden upper deck and the fabric sails. This will also be my first ship. Still in doubt whether to use the fabric or the plastic sails...

Thank you for the nice and motivating comments mates.
Yves I used the plastic sails because they give the impression that the Pearl is fully in the wind - that would be perfect for a diorama. In addition, they can be weathered more easily.
