Very nice to see the evolution in your remarkable boat. To me it is a mysterie what your future plans with this boat are but your enthousiasme will help me to start builing again in the future. I wish you lots of fun with the build.

Cheers, Kees

Very nice build of this kit. Looks more like scratch building

Looks very good when you show the whole length. The scale is very understandable. If the model would be to big it wasnt a building challenge but a big big burdon and you would loose the fun of building. With her 54 inch she might be big but small enough to handle.

(I have seen lots of people starting a bis scale model but very few who actually finish the project.)

Kind regards, Kees

very nice build. the wood looks shiny so its very smooth.

Wow that little ship needs a lot of work.

Nice memory to your grandfather and that is in my opinion something to remember when you restore the model. Don't over do and let some parts or paintwork like they are now. So when you have a restored model, you can still see your grandfathers hand on it.

Kind regards, Kees

Nice shapes on the mast and the ship looks very good with some rigging on it.

smart thing to do with those corners, never thaugth of that

I cant say something usefull because I don't work with wood. Your woodwork looks fantastic. In the pictures it like I am in a real shipyard

I like the deck it looks very good. Also the hull comes out good with the primer on it.

A true beauty this model. And the bells show how serious you are in building acurate models.

Cheers, Kees

Forgot to say. The hint about the processorpins is great.

Wefalcl also thanks for your contribution. old or new technique, I am always happy with them.

Cheers, Kees

Thank you for your very goog instructions. Not all builders are willing to share their secrets so I thank you. I will keep this topic in mind for later.

Regards, Kees

Hello Glenn,

I worked me trough the pages today and it was a joy to me. You are a real professional and I want to thank you that you share your build with us. Very nice to see how you build everything.

Kind regards, Kees

Like it

Wow, the bleu is really bright and in combination with the gold and the wood I like it very much.

Looks amazing again to me

Those are beautifull ship! Nice build

Big setback, what a bummer. But I am sure You can fix it. I once dropped a completly finished model when I wanted to screw it on the stand. It took me one week to restore

interesting build

Very nice. it looks like a very complicated build to me with all the forms and shapes

beautifull lines

Slowly you are getting there. Nice carving

Very nice model and I am amazed by the electro forming what you did. I understand there are more people who work like that but I never saw it before.

Nice boat to build and very high standard when you want to build like the boats on the photo's. In Dortmund I saw this model of a bootlegger. Also lots of other boats like that. I like the mirror finish.
