Gorgeous... I sure hope you have plans to add an M1 to it eventually...

thanks,
Build an M1, Maybe someday.
But having built more than 1450 models, this has become such a routine job that I will probably switch completely to ships.

Thanks OC 

This model is cast in the colors of our Belgian flag. 
I didn't know we had such modern spacecraft in our arsenal 😇 🤣

Last update, the Olympia is ready.

Thank you all for following the Opel assembly line.  😉

A M4 high speed tractor from Hobbyboss is also ready

Thanks for following likes and comments

First thank you for all the attention. Much appreciated. 

The link to the "Russian" Mary rose model is bookmarked, thanks Jan.

After all the 12 frames are drawn,  plywood is first roughly sawn to size.

The drawings are glued to the plywood.

And, ready to sawn the frames. 

But given the outside temperature is now between 0 and 5 degrees. After 1 frame my fingers were a bit frozen 🥶
So, for now, I will switch back to my military modeling in our heated kitchen.

Hah! You're an expert, so being proved wrong would be more catastrophic. 

 

At least my Golden Hinde has a boat: where's yours? 😉

I just did some research, and it appears that small galleons either had a boat sat on the spar deck, or no boat at all. At one point, Drake had his men lower the boat into the water in order to appear busy, before surprising the Spanish. So, clearly, the Golden Hinde had a boat.

There was a terrible storm, and I lost it...

😇

Indeed, great lanterns.

Nice work.

A possible solution for the purpose of the holes in the stern and for transporting the boat.

But transporting the ship's boat in this way was not without danger.
Read this somewhere in one of my books.
An English fleet on its way to Spain ran into a storm and almost all the boats towed in this way were gone after the storm...

I have just condensed your 6 years of effort into a few hours of reading and learning. Fascinating and quite spellbinding seeing the build evolve. Very enjoyable.

Thank you

Beautiful work does not begin to do justice to this model.   I hope you give her a place of honor to display her.

Thank you.

She is safely stored behind plexiglass

Does this help?
You can do this with the right mouse button

Thanks for the encouragements.

To anyone who will follow this. Thank you in advance for your time and attention 👍
This build will take a very long time. Provide yourself with an easy seat, drinks, appetizers, etc 😉

Why is the text so big

On a computer you can set the size of the letters.
On a smartphone I don't know how to do this
