Jean-Paul,

I, just-in-time, went through your entire build log. Your model has a great traditional classy look to it. The detail is superb and the color combinations are great..... Is that the finish line you see out there?

Thank you for your kind words and thank you to all the 'Likes'.

Unfortunately, the end of the year rhymes with overload of work at my office...
I still move slowly on the final base. I hope to be able to finish during the end of year holidays if I can take a few days of vacation ...
But it is not won...

I have officially finished my second ship model.
I have to say the final details took longer than I expected.
The base is also finalized. I used a copy of a maritime map as a background. I just have to add a descriptive plate.
Thanks again to all the people who have followed my build.
I will be able to resume work on the Medway longboat and especially start working on my next project: The Cheerful.
Happy New Year everyone !

Very nice model, Jean-Paul, you did a good job.

I will be consulting this log when I restart my Mediator, the finish you achieve is great.

Thank you Brian, Gary and Bruce for your kind words.

The road was longer than expected but with the help of this forum, I was able to find all the help possible to reach my goal.

Very nicely done, congratulations!  The AVS is a great model, I learned a lot from building her, those skills will transfer nicely to your next model. I’m looking forward to following your Cheerful build.  It’s a wonderful challenge and I’m sure you’ll enjoy building her.

Regards,

Glenn

Bob, I will continue my work on the Medway longboat and especially start my next project which will be the magnificent Cheerful cutter.

Glenn, I completely share your opinion on the AVS. It is really a very good model to start in this hobby.
