Thank you all for your kind words.
I'm thinking of starting a new build by the end of the summer and I'll keep in mind to take more photos of the construction...
Thanks.

The model was built at the level of beams. On margin planks, small pieces of wood were placed, giving the view of components of frames. By building the gunwale and the counter at the prow, the hull took its proper shape. Some wooden supporting constructions, were also made in prow and stern.  





 
Thanks
 

I followed the plans of the hull of a real boat , and the method of planking on bulkheads. Plywood was used for the keel and frames and beechwood for all the external wooden parts. I also followed the traditional way of planking.

Hi everyone.
Well, I still build ships models...
I have been trough sad situations because of my country’s problems and I hadn’t sat at my workbench for almost two years, until I realized I had to move on…
I started again with a simple model, working slowly since yet, I had to remember many things of ship modelling and there were times where I felt like if I was a newbie…
Eventually I managed to finish the first model of my "new era”...
Because I wasn't sure about me or the result, I didn't start a build log, and I have kept only a few photos…
So it will be a short log and  it won’t take long for you to see the model ready. 
The real ship was a small version of a Greek "Perama" with some effects from another type of Gr. Vessel the “Tserniki”, related only to its dimensions.
As a small “Perama” it was the most singular type of a vessel in the traditional Greek ship-building of the 20th century, characterized by a small counter, placed crosswise at the upper part of the cutwater. It is believed that they had been lead to this particular construction, because of the upper spreaded sides of the vessel, which in this case couldn't reach the stems in bow and stern....This counter was offering a connection point for the gunwales but also a board for decoration...
 It could be a merchant or a passenger boat at that time and rigged more often as a cutter or with half-lateen sail.
 

 As far as I know, there are only two survived vessels to our days.
 
..........
 
The model has been built from scratch, except the deadeyes-blocks and anchors, in 1:32 scale.
Thanks

I  use the Proxxon Mini Band Saw for over 7 years and I don't think I would ever change it with a scroll saw. The only weak point I can state is that, having a band saw, you might will need a scroll saw just to make the gratings.
But there is no need to buy one... 
Thx
