State of The art, Doris. Always an inspiration.

Great news to know you're back, Remco! As The others, I'm sure any project u'r in Will be great!

And there is perfection! Masterful!

Great work Jesse!

Great work, Ondras! Nice looking planking!

Happy to anounce that I'm back to the dockyard and sewing the sails for my chinese junk. Would like to thank the cloth I received, gifted by Dee Dee. The fabric sent is Far better than the one that came in the kit. I'm late in saying bout the fábrica, as It came last year.

Nice, Michael. I was trying to do something like that on my Cocca Veneta, your solution seems a great one - I mean, in showing them frames.

Joining the fellows in the applause. Great detailing as always, Doris. A masterful skill to astound us all.

Following your build, as I really loved, from afar, Maristella's kits. This one, in particular, is great! And, wow! You're a fast builder!

Wow! I'll be following for sure! Great News to know you're bringing another one to life! Briliant!

Nice kit u got, there! Getting front row. 😊

Hi there, Mark! I'll join the expectators on your build. Great work, so far. Neat first planking. It seems you've got a nice ship to work on.

Late congratulations, Michael. It was great to follow your log and see ALL the details coming alive in só beautiful a ship, as the Wasa comes to be. Marvelous piece to expose!!

Hey! I'll be picking up my seat along! Think there's a chair right there. Nice to see a new project ongoing! I'll be following this one too, If u don't mind. Love cross sections.

Would always go for the bigger scales - don't know what admiral would say though. Great advance on canons, Mark. They're comming alive!

Will always come and scroll through ALL the postings Reading and aborbing the knowledge amassed gere. Increíble work.

Great work, Mark!

Great idea, Popeye

Just watching your interactions, guys! ahahahahaha I was born on a multilingual family and as a child could not identify some words I used from a language or other. Children can´t forgive that and I met some bullying till I could comprehend that жопа (jopa-***/but), in russian, wasn´t a world other children could comprehend. Thanks for all compliments and for the healthy discussion above. Good to wake up laughing! By the way, Italians say Spanish and Portuguese are bad Italian, or something like that.

Hola Ulises! Siempre un placer to have u here! Please, take a seat! Beso!

Be most welcome, Lawrence! Right now I´m thinking it too small a scale, too - but we´ll get along and see it through, well, at least, I hope Thank you!

Thanks, Steve!

Thank you, Piet! Just trying to do my best - and learning, always learning.

And time for an update so you don´t think I´ve vanished again. First of all, sorry for the low quality pics - I´ll have a new cam next month and be posting better ones. As I said, I got a plan on changing the stern and, instead of making a new one (which would be a lot better), cut pieces from plywood and got rid from that steep curve - As it is now, well, not good looking I would say, but, I´ll cover it with a sheet cut and designed as a real stern should look - that said, my keel will be from the same wood, so, I´ll be changing the kit´s wood destined for it. I´ve been planking decks. After I finished them I realized I could´ve done it other way, close to what it should be - following beams and such, but, then again the ship have no beams and I would have to create them - and I´ll try at least to reproduce something like them. Of course pictures won´t show, but pin holes were made - caulking coming soon. So, I´ll show some cargo hold - don´t know if beams would be visible but decided to try some over the cargo hold - Not quite sure how I´ll make them - but I´m into reading so many things about and seeing so many pictures that I´ll figure it out soon enough. Still don´t know if I should plank the hull inside at the visible parts, so, I´m reproducing some more frames. I´m using plywood, but will cover if needed. It´s a small update, hope to be showing more soon.
