Just came across your build and very pleased that I have.

 

I find it refreshing to see someone practising a different approach to building, one which offers a shorter journey while still displaying all the external accuracy and which results in a model anyone would be proud to exhibit.

 

Love your carronades and especially your Treenailing which is a joy to look at - your choice of woods giving just the right contrast. Congratulations looking forward to seeing the finished project.

Cheers Pete

Matti! Welcome! Thank you all for the positive feedback! The hull skin of the pear, the pins also from pears, but painted with black paint to simulate the caulking, mainwels of black hornbeam. The diameter of the pins is 1.5 mm. The CNC program is called Art CAM.

Very nice work Aviaamator! I wish my grandson were a bit older. I could use a helping hand.

Very nice work Aviaamator, the precision of your treenails is admirable. Nice also to see your son helping, such a great experience for him.

 

I hope your health is improving well.
