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 !
-
got'cha! I see the dust cloud on google map!

looks so cool Greg. I couldn't help but notice that you didn't do P.E. for the porthole rigols. did they supply P.E. for them?
