Hello JJ,

Tiger is well and waiting for me to take action again. I started carefully and repaired some things from the spring. 

 

The last fall went into a sunny and mild fall and I bought me a pedelec to cruise through the near and far neighbourhood. And because my meniscus did't protest, also for shopping to the next town. So my car had mostly holiday 😉

But to stay with the subject of this forum. If there weren't the supporters for the cathead! But at least I haven't any more excuses not to start, so I will start at the shipyard very soon.

 

Regards,

Siggi

Hello and thank you all for your comments and likes, I'm overwhelmed 

today only a little update, even when it took nearly the same time, as to build the knees. This piece is only to fill the gab to the wales.

Your painting on the friezes and headwork is masterful. And inspiration for us all.

I was about to  mention that myself, but you beat me to it Mark. Splendid Siggi 🙂 

Happy modelling!

Håkan

Hello,

Mark and Håkan, so let inspire you. I will see then if it has worked.

 

Here the first rail is mostly in shape and the second one is on the way to it.

While I tend to build in a highly stylized manner I can certainly appreciate that your model probably comes closer to the actual ships appearance than any other model on this site. Truly inspirational!
