    The details are fantastic. Perhaps slightly out of scale but at these sizes its almost impossible to get this absolutely right. In many  cases if the scale was correct i don't think the pieces could be built. One of the models i submitted recently for judging,  one of the points i was heavily criticized for was as the hole size for the seine in the boat was  too small. It was the best i could find, and yes it was smaller than the real size for the  seine , but the only other option was to leave the seine out  all together. It was a fishing boat that used a seine so i am not sure what sense that would have made. 
    i am rambling.  Makes me wish i had done this with the Thorn. 

    Thanks Kevin! I follow your work very closely and try to get inspiration! It's a new type of construction for me, which I had never approached and I try to do the best I can.
    The hinges are indeed a bit out of scale but functional; the alternative was to make them fake.

    Such a pleasure to see your work in progress. While I included every detail in my Swan class build as well it is a sad fact that most of your current work will not be visible on the finished model, even with partially planked decks. If I had a do-over I would seriously consider adding LED lighting in some of these areas (such as the lanterns in the light room). I know nothing of these things but it seems very doable at your scale.

    It wouldn't be a difficult job and I'm thinking about it.  I have already done this in my Amarante
