Every time I look at your work I realize that I need to work at getting better in my own work. your example clearly shows what is possible with practice.

    Aside from the superb precision of your wood joinery and components (more like a fine piece of furniture), I find the fact that your rigging here is so well done that it is worth a separate mention of note.  Your lines are more like what one would expect to see in full sized rope as they have an incredibly realistic drape to them, as if they have real heft to them rather than looking like the fine thread found in most models that have essentially no real weight to them!  If one didn't know that this was just a model, you could almost swear that this is a photo of a full size replica! :cheers:

Started reading this build earlier this evening and below is the only way to describe this build and builder.

 

"A piece of work by a craftsman accepted as qualification for membership of a guild as an acknowledged master".

 

"A master craftsman or master tradesman (sometimes called only master or grandmaster) was a member of a guild. In the European guild system, only masters and journeymen were allowed to be members of the guild".

 

(With the help of google translator and I hope that it is correct.)

 

Comenzó a leer esta compilación más temprano esta noche y a continuación es la única forma de describir esta compilación y constructor.

 

"Un trabajo de un artesano aceptado como calificación para ser miembro de un gremio como un maestro reconocido".
 

"Un maestro artesano o un maestro comerciante (a veces llamado solo maestro o gran maestro) era miembro de un gremio. En el sistema de gremios europeo, solo los maestros y oficiales podían ser miembros del gremio".

I'm not sure what level of reality I'm living in, but your work is the highest quality, and I'm humbled.

Just magnificent wood work and joinery.

Amalio, is your plan to finish the ship with a complete rigging ? (arboladura)

I hope if you do, since it would be very helpful in terms of learning in addition to being a work of art due to the precision in the detail.
