she's look'in great Sjors........you've done quite a bit since I last looked in!

I would imagine for the size of this hull, there must be a lot of parts to cut out.........definitely takes a big bite out of the actual build time good to hear your still working on her........look forward in seeing your progress.

I used a welder's helmet with auto darkening to see it.......so cool, even if it was only 60 % visibility up here in the Northeast saw my first 'crescent' sun really nice progress since I last looked in.......your sails look really good! rigging looks great......
-
I can sympathize.......my 'T' time has suffered as well nice bit of progress with the PE!
-
quite a ship...no doubt about it! off to a very good start Kevin...fun project to follow along
-
excellent repair!
-
yup! she's a big elephant little bites at a time........but then again, there's a lot to be said about the halfway point. anything past that, and you'll be gaining ground look'in good

you call THAT.....a P.E. break?!?! that stern view looks super Greg......there is so much there to see it must have driven you mad, just doing the brace work! you weren't kidding about this build being more complex that your last......wonderful workmanship!
-
great job on those little boats Patrick! can't wait to see how you finish off the engine room
-
she's look'in great Frank.......I follow the same method with my painting too. primer shows me all the rough spots........paint when I'm sure they're gone nicely done!

may you find the end of the horizon..........calm seas

that's insane! please stop before you hurt yourself! ....in reality I'm thinking....."that looks soooooo Frigg'in cool!"

looking good with the planing on Hennie. perhaps everything will fall into place once the stern has been trimmed.

usually that's left up to the modeler.......but if it were me, I'd go the straight route. are you going to have a rope ladder going down to the boat?
-

so.....your going to plank over the bulkheads? this is a pretty interesting concept here. all of the POB's I've done supplied a deck platform for the deck planking. to simply frame in the hatches and plank over the bulkheads is pretty neat. if you wanted to go further with this, since you've already installed the waterways, additional cross beams can be installed at the halfway points between the bulkheads, and the framing can be expanded to cover the entire deck surface. of course, it would depend on the planking method your going to use......whole strip or scale planking. something to think about the next time I start a POB..........I'll keep this idea in mind looking really nice so far

you've made some nice progress since I last looked in. I made a small jig for the dead eye spacing......I don't serve my lines though. I use different thickness threads to achieve pretty much the same outcome.
-
perhaps gold leaf can be figured into your carving...may be a good alternative to painting nice job with the second planking EJ !
