    Great to see you back having another go at this wonderful model. Mine has found a prominent spot for display. I'm looking forward to following along and reliving the build vicariously. I'm sure your build will be one of the best.

    Wow, Hugo, you are making quick progress on this lovely boat! I like to take the time to get each plank shaped and bent so that it lays nicely on the bulkheads. Then, starting at the bow, I use just a small spot of medium viscosity CA (cyanoacrylic superglue) on a couple of bulkheads and work my way towards the stern adding a spot of CA to a couple of frames at a time. I don't have to use nails or lots of clamps this way. The key is to get working with each plank until it lays practically perfect on the bulkheads without having to press hard on them before you begin to glue it. Your paint job is very nice also. She is going to be a beauty!

    Hola Hugo and bienvenido a MSW. Your progress so far on this wonderful model is great and your English is excellent too. I wish I could say the same for my Spanish! My wife studied in Madrid for a year many years ago and she has always wanted to return and visit the city again. So, after we both retired, we traveled on our own for 10 weeks in Spain in the fall of 2015. We started our trip in Madrid and stayed there for 10 days and it brought back many memories for her. It is truly one of the great cities of the world and we both loved it. After Madrid we traveled by train and car to Segovia, Toledo, Cuenca, Albarraín, the Pyrénées, Cadequés, Barcelona, Seville, Granada, Ronda, Grazelema, Vejer de la Frontera and many other pueblos blancos and, finally, Córdoba. Spain is such a beautiful and friendly country! We hope to be able to return and stay for 6 months or more once the world returns to normal. I look forward to watching your progress. Good luck building your first wooden ship!

    I just read through your build log, Yves, and I'm really happy to see that you've decided to continue with building this wonderful model. Seeing your excellent work so far has made me think that this model should be on my tick list as well. I'm looking forward to following along.

    Hey Don, I somehow missed seeing this build of yours. Wow...fantastic work! This battle station is right up there with the best I've ever seen. It's nice to see you back here sharing your beautiful work with us after a bit of a hiatus. Congratulations! What's the next project we might see coming from your shipyard?

    I'm enjoying your build of this historical sailboat, Josh. Nice job overcoming some of the difficulties you've encountered. Problem solving is a big part of this hobby!

    She's coming along very nicely!

    Business is thriving!

    Magnificent model! Simply beautiful and outstanding craftsmanship. Congratulations! I'd love to see a video of her actually running in the water.

    Outstanding!

    What a beautiful planking job, Erik, especially for your first time doing it. That's very impressive indeed!
  13. BobG
    Wow...that is expensive...nearly $13 US dollars per plank! Are you using beech for the planking? What is the size of a single plank that you get for £10?
  14. BobG
    Beautiful work!
  15. BobG
    She's coming right along. Wonderful craftsmanship!
  16. BobG
    Beautiful! I'm loving watching this fine boat come together.
  17. BobG
    Outstanding! This is some of the best weathering I've ever seen. Really well done!
  18. BobG
    Wonderful work, BE!

    I'm enjoying watching you do a fine job on this wonderful model, Erik. I have this model also and it's on the shelf with several others. I'll be following along closely.

    Beautiful model, Richard. Well done! I look forward to your fifi build.

    Nice job, Harry. I love these working boats with lateen sails. I'm looking forward to your next project. This one was a quickie!

    My rule is: if the eye can't see it...it ain't there and doesn't matter! 😄

    I just got caught up on your log, Ryland. She's going to be a beauty when you're done. Enjoy the rigging...it was my favorite part of the build even though it was the first time I ever rigged anything.
  24. BobG
    Thanks very much, HakeZou. I will definitely watch those videos.
