Looks really beautiful John - you should be proud! I love the choice to show the forward port side whaleboat being launched - a classy touch! On the the next? And what will that be?

Thanks Hamilton. Good question!   I was <almost> joking when I said I was going to go play with some Legos for a while. This kit just came out, so my daughter and I are building the Yellow Submarine together in small stints after school.  :cheers:   

 

My next ship will either be a very detailed whale boat in a larger scale, or perhaps the Syren. Both would be my first model using planking. The whaleboat is a framed plank design, so perhaps a little more challenging than the plank on bulkhead design of the Syren.  We'll see! I have to get the plans out and make a decision. In the meantime, I am working on a large scale Sopwith Camel. I love airplanes. What a world!

Thanks, Jean-Pierre.  I think she is a lovely ship, but I can tell you that there are plenty of errors lurking in there if one gets close. I'm thinking about the next builds... taking a break first with some airplane work... then back to ships.
