Nice clean white hull! Looks great Agree with Brunnels...those little seams need to be filled. -
Just a very small update to show what I'm working on. Installing the quarter galleries, or at least one of them. Took me quite a few days to really figure out how it should look exactly (my head is a bit messy at the moment, so a bit difficult to concentrate). But I'm starting to get the hang of it. Also with the help of the other Sphinx build logs. It looks like I've added just a millimeter to the length of the quarter galleries compared to the original that James built, but that doesn't seem to have any real implications going forward. Will do a more extensive report from the other side so it's clearer how I'm approaching it. (spoiler alert...pretty much the same as Blue Ensign did it)

Fantastic result Brunnels! You can be very proud of her! She looks so beautiful Well done!🏆 And have fun with the exciting times ahead with the little girl

Lovely planking so far Zarkon! Not easy to go straight to the final layer without a base of a first one. It's going to be beautiful when it's fully planked!

Your "Fryslân" is looking good so far! (Fryslân is Friesland in the actual language that they/we are talking here )

What a lovely work you did Brunnels! She looks so good now...great to see your progress
-
Thanks Thukydides! Pff not sure if painting the decorations myself would be fun haha, but it's worth considering when I get that far. For now I was thinking about using multiple tones of color on the etched decorations to give them more depth. But I'll think about it!

I bought them on Amazon...I still see them although they are quite expensive at this specific seller. Maybe there is a cheaper dealer somewhere on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Wolfcraft-B3431-Micro-Spring-Clamp/dp/B0001P19IQ/ref=sr_1_37?crid=2VJQGFBAQJG9G&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9._qJCDFyzGgOpQyWmJEweM75FguvXG8XfJ1TaCHbNUK1LD6F58ptwtztOsgFNivx_IlIOy5qI2bfglS73AbtjQeHaXd4-PwaQjdOTIJY4GVFSJ09aSoX3rS_QPrOGIRZjJlGnr2u-BC6xpw2EuTIRj41ZFil_fKKQ6PwbbAolkrNcqTkt3-xOiRZRbGYtDUSugyS9KAI3lVdBHiViAfWKnryMRha8MXRFS9oQvUfdVQIm8p7znlarE3o1fHOBGA97aQAy4lU-bJyPEG3lPj-HqbPBagBTXcBbvac5Q1X9COc.8UgZOr1TyulAKRF58QFweNfcRaq1qt3kJ6cV76pgvUU&dib_tag=se&keywords=wolfcraft+clamps&qid=1743767638&sprefix=wolcraft+clamp%2Caps%2C174&sr=8-37

Been a little busy with other things in life. Also side tracked a bit with exploring other modelling things. Made a "facade" in 1/24 scale. Was fun to do and liberating not to care about measurments etc. . Will definitely make something like this in the future again. Now trying to get back in the Sphinx
-
Great result! And she looks beautiful in her display case, very well done! I need to try and get back on track with mine
-
Very nice result! Love the sharpness that comes through with the oil. Well done
-
Love it! Very nice done, congratulations on finishing
-

Sorry for your loss! Must be very difficult to say goodbye after such a long time together. Wish you all the strength in this upcoming time. The little ships look beautiful by the way...
-
Very exciting new build! Wish you all the best and fun with this one
-
Really...really nice build! Congratz with finishing and with the medal
-
Congratulations on the sale! I can imagine that at some point you have to sell models because there is simply no more room for them, especially this one! But it will indeed hurt a little bit, because you have put so much time and energy into it. Especially if it is gone so soon!

Welcome! And l echo the others...start a build log, it really helps to track your progress and get help from forum member who are building also the Dory. Even the designer of the Dory kit is a member here

I would try different materials and see what you like best. Everyone has their own preferences. I have experience with wooden battens and tape. Wooden battens follow the natural curves more easily without "sharp corners". And with tape you have to be more careful not to get "sharp" corners. For example, with my current Sphinx build I used wooden battens for the first layer because I didn't quite understand how the lines would be, and for the second layer I used tape because I already felt a bit more confident to set out the lines with tape. (Tape is easier to attach than wooden battens). In terms of dimensions I wouldn't go wider than 4mm (and not to thick say 1mm), whether it's tape or wood...and anything below that is fine. Again, experiment to see what you like

Lovely work again...the use of colors and weathering with your build is spot on 👌really liking it
