Hi there;
I like how you built the Mary. I see that you added a few deck items and somewhat kit-bashed it. You built this model in '95 so maybe the kit changed over time and what you did was part of the kit. I also like the tree nails you did on the hull and deck and noticed you did not paint the bottom of the hull. I did paint mine but now that I see yours, I like that better.
I am re-doing some of the yards as they are shown to be "fixed" in the kit, whereas in real-life this would not be possible. I am using the book "Statenjacht Utrecht" as a reference as not much changed on Dutch yacht building in those 100 years.
You did a great job on your Mary and it is nicely detailed.
Regards,
Marc

This boat is still on my bucket list and I like what you did with it. Looks great. You did a wonderful job.

Very nice, love the dragon and did you carve that one yourself?

Beautiful, I like how your hull planking came out. Furthermore, I am an advocate of sails on a boat. It does not hide the rigging as many modeler's say.
I built my HMS Bounty from Constructo.

The detail on this built, so cool, just like the details in the picture of your butterfly.
Actually my wife likes insects just like me and we go hunting together for them.

Love the details of the engine and the hinges on the storage boxes.

Yours looks good and I am building the same model. Have the mast, rigging and sails left.

Awesome, have you sailed it yet?
