Beautiful work Aviaamator! So you are building your models at your summer house during summer, and in winter apartment during winter. I suppose you have as hard winters there as we have. However the distance between us is not very long.

Thank you all! Thank You, Matti! The model I build in a city apartment, not in the country, where I rarely appear in the last three years (this is due to my health). Just good people gave me office space in his building where I work. Matti! We should meet more often! So that - we welcome you! We're in the neighborhood!

Excellent work! And as noted above, those darker planks (or strenghtening beams, do not know the shipmaster naming for it - much thicker and stronger wooden constructions to strenghten the hull & deck) are very interesting detail - historically fully accurate but very seldom seen included on models here! Great job!

Coming along nicely - I admire the simple yet effective way you constructed the copper bow sprit fitting - Your work keeps reminding me of how the eye gets caught time and again by detail - I've commented on the precision of your tree nailing in a previous post but looking at your second last photo showing your progress on the bulwarks I just can't stop my eyes from going back to the beautiful job you have made of the planking and tree nailing - Cheers Pete
