    Look wonderful mugje 😊 . Great work and the model looks like a millon dollar. Are these the Amati display mounting colums? What dimensions are they? And what baseplate? 

    The base plate that I used

    And the colums are from Amati indeed

    I used two of the same dimensions, but filed one slot deeper so the ships keel lays in the correct angle.

    At first I thought it was a good idea to use 2 different dimensions, so one shorter colum...but that looked horrible haha, because the thickness is

    also reduced with the smaller height.

     

  2. Okay! So I finished the ship :D 

     

    I didn't take pictures of the last stage. Was a bit busy and worked for very short bouts on the ship.

    The end was a bit difficult because I wanted to finish it, so there were sometimes moments that I rushed through the 

    build. That needs some attention for the next time...that I take the time and patience to give everything the attention

    that is deserves, but that is just a part of the learning curve.

     

    I enjoyed this build a lot and learned a ton in the process. Offcourse skills wise with the wood etc, but even more mentally.

    For me it was difficult to actually finish something that takes this amount of time, so i'm very proud of that.

    And i'm very proud of the end result! I builded it right out of the box with almost no modifications. The most important thing for 

    me was to actually finish it! :D  And in the future there will be more modification/adventure ;)
