I'm glad that you didn't say "a little update" as you use to say.
When I see that you have posted photos, I click on the first to enlarge, and after absorbing all i can see, I'll click on the next. And so on. When I reach the last one, I'll say dame to myself because there are no more

Yea you are right about the glass..............but it is better to have this wonderful model, behind glass to stop the dust and little (and some time big) fingers from touching it.
Alexandru can take allthe photos before it wiĺ be encased for security.

I'm like everyone else, we are in total respect of your craftsmanship! I'm so glad that you have taken your time to take photos of even the smallest detail, from start to finish.
I'm haven't used ebony myself, but I believe it's very brittle, so its is amazzzzzzzzing how you bent it in your previous photolesson.
Again brilliant mate.

Thank you so much for sharing your techniques. I was a bit of a bummy to ask after I saw what you did.
Thanks a million Alexandru.

Words cannot express my true thoughts about this incredible model, Alexandru.
All I wish, that one day, I can do half as good and I'll be a very happy modeller.

Your definition of small is different to mine! The amount of first class work you have done is huge, if a photo says a 1000 words, I've just seen an incredible novel.

My mind is numb looking that that Incrediblywow way you done that wheel. As Mark said it's the most ingenious way ever to build it.
Your talent is beyond words! Your lathe work is amazzzzzzzzing. How many rejects did you go through to get all of them done? Your patience is unbelievable!

Again amazing details in your ship. I sound like a repeater with my post to you, but I can't think of anything else to say.
Just wondering, "is ebony hard to work with?" I believe that, it's a very brittle wood.

Beautiful work on the deck planking! What size are the planks? 1 x 4 mm? I assume that you will varnish the planking and beams/Ledgers together.

I love your details and beautiful stanchions. Do you have a master copy to do the lathe work or are they each crafted to be the same?

Your workmanship is outstanding. Can I ask you a silly question? What is the string for, I know it's to line up something, but what is being lined up?
Well anyway mate, I will be looking forward to see your new log entry.
Have a good day.
