Thank you Keith, I hope I must not water them 😏

Hello,

the carpenters have finished the arches and the painter had all this afternoon painted. Now only the two end pieces left.

[Siggi52]

Hello,

the carpenters build the end pieces and the painter had painted them. The shipwright is pleased. When the painter has varnish all tomorrow, I think we are ready with this.

Lovely work Siggi! 

[Siggi52]

Hello,

today only bad news. Because I'm not really satisfied with my work of the last days, I decidet to build some things new. If it come out better, who knows

The last stand

[Keith Black]

 Siggi, my eyes only see beauty and I'm sorry to hear you're not satisfied but I completely understand. The builder's satisfaction is the only thing that matters when building our models.  

[Siggi52]

Hello,

it is done! In the former version was too much zig zag, especially with the lage bows. So I laid the short plank a little to the inside and at least made the end pieces new. I don't know why I build them straight? May be my cold. But now all is more or less flush with the surounding area.

Siggi,

 

It looks amazing. I’m glad you were able to get it the way you want it. There is no point having a little detail that will make you dissatisfied whenever you look at the model. I love the colors.

Hello,

and many thanks for all your likes and comments. Because I unfortunately have a serious cold, we decided to prefer the Christmas party and then close the ship yard first.

 

                                    So we all from the ship yard wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2026

[Keith Black]

 That's a neat Christmas scene on the Tiger's deck, Siggi. I hope you get over your cold soon and are able to have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Merry Christmas and happy new year Siggi. Get well soon. Stay away from the shipyard ale!

 It seems it's not only the painter sneaking an extra ration of rum.

Doing and re-doing things until you are absolutely satisfied is a mark of the true master.

 

Doing things until they look good enough, but not necessarily great is the mark of . . . well, of me! 😅

Merry Christmas. Love the little deck party.

Wiishing you a nice Christmas and prosperous 2026

Hello,

and thank you for all the likes and wishes. Since I sent the team home for the holidays, I worked a little for myself. The kevels and cavels were on the list.

Here the kevels

Outstanding!
