Hi Mario, your steam engine is fantastic, wow...!

Hi Caroline,

Happy Birthday and have a nice day

Yes, Balsa is very good for that

I do that with my big HMS Victory, you got information about ships from these age of sailing. It is a little bit more expensive as a normal kit but you get better instructions to build your ship.

Much much better than before, the colors are not so bright. I like it

Happy Birthday from me to. Have a nice day

Nice progress, very clean work, super

Hello Cpt. Slog, you are doing a fantastic job, built very clean, l like it.

Hello Mario,

this is a beautiful ship and good work until now. Nice plankening

Sjors my friend, you have to pay your Internet bill......:-)

Hi Antony and Karl, and Here is another cross-section, great. I think I take my chair and sit down. Keep on going...!

I like your ship and cant wait for the pictures. Good job until now

You are doing a very good job at the crow-nests....I like it.

Good Morning Anja, thank you.

I want to start today with the supply but with this beautiful weather wie go swimming, maybe tomorrow or on monday. Have a nice weekend you both

Here is a little movie that I made, it is with all the pictures you've seen

and some more pictures

I started with the cross-section 1st of february until now. I needed nearly 90 hours and I think I need 100 hours more until it is finished. I do little steps after another and this is the result

Here are the lattest picture and then you are on the current status of the construction. I order more pearwood and it takes some time until I have it.

I hope you like it so far and now I start with my old buildlog from the HMS Supply - First Fleet.

A few inspirations

And now the first gun deck

Thank you Sjors, I will try to do my best.....

Yes Sir they do....!

The main thing is you have a nice ship and you like it, that's important, isn´t it??? Whether it is historically accurate or not but that's just my opinion

Absolutly nice project...good job.....!! I like it

By the way......I forgot to show you how I build the hammocks

Here are the pictures

and here they are on deck. I made 3 of them, that´s enough

Here you can see the chain pumps

and now the lights are on, it is not a very good picture but I think it works

DeAgostini shows the mast only a few centimeters above the deck but I want to build it all....nearly 100cm high, you see the lower part from the mast...the first section and in the background you can see my HMS Supply. I will later show you my building report

Hi Garth,

very nice cross-section but is it possible to change the gravel. I use the gravel for aquarium because of the scale. I think it looks better than the thick stones

Look at this pic

You have done a good job on your cross-section until now....

Hi Adrieke,

very good progress and I like to look further
