  1. Glad to see you are tackling the O16. She's looking really good Carl, nice work.  I'm surprised that you had PE problems, I managed to use what was with the kit, except Boris did not include the periscopes and antenna mast, I made them from bamboo. I decided to paint mine in battle grey as she was on her last war patrol. Your choice of colors is before the hostilities started, nice break from the mundane. Is that copper color on the lower part of the hull?

     

    Cheers, 

  2. Hell Nils, better late then never with me dropping in. Been busy with hurricane related efforts and a few other things.  However, here I am joining you with this fantastic build. As I may have mentioned before this chebec reminds me of the Buginese sloops of yesteryear. I hope to be able to build a model of one of them. It appears that the Buginese prauw design may have come with the Arabs during the introduction of Islam in the East Indian Islands. I know they did give the VOC a lot of headaches in the 16th and 17th centuries.  The pirates loved these fast boats.

    You are really progressing rather rapidly and the shape is already clearly shown.

     

    Cheers,
