    Hi Jeff, Thanks for you`re word, much appreciated..... To answer your question..., I`m preparing to build a mediteranian Chebece, like the ones used and sailed at the north African "Barbary coast" for traders and also pirates. I purchased a base-plan from Amati already in scale 1:60, and am enlarging that by 25 %, so that the new scale will be 1:48 with a total length of 900 mm. The plan drawing needs to be modified in order to suit my needs though..... When all is prepared and thought through it will start as a seperate scratch-build log Nils

    last update.... today the KWdG went into it`s glass case in my hobby room.... The shelf was lowered a bit in order to compensate the case hight, an with the admirals help the glass surfaces were cleaned inside / outside before closing the bonet and everthing was fitted into position. This now closes the project... Nils

    Hi Mij, I very much like the way you are building the modified Chebec after the basic Amati plan in scale 1:60 Well done ! I am also at the piont of building this ship and am in the preperation phase right now. The bought plan from Amati was though enlarged by 25 %, turning out the model length to 90 cm, and so then being in a scale of 1:48 instead Very much liked are your carvings and the way you did these. Lovely the eagles and the bow figure head. I just came across your log by coincidense and wish you all the best with the further fitting out of this nice model for the case if it is not already completed at this time...... (the fore last post by Mark is over a year old...) Nils
