Thank you Captain Hook.

Yes,  Byrnes work with UPS. But I must admit that the shipping costs are extremely expensive...

Fortunately the VAT taxes in Switzerland (only 6.5%) are very low compared to those in Europe.

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

I have fun like a child with my new Byrnes table saw. What a pleasure to obtain parts of the same length and with a perfect cutting angle.

I wonder how I have been able to do without it until now...

I am inspired by the supports that we see in some museums.
Being able to adapt the dimensions to my convenience, I take this opportunity to make them coincide with the size of the legos.

It facilitates the assembly and amuses my daughter a lot who sees me bringing out these old boxes of legos.

I take this opportunity to build a second support which will be used for my Armed Virginia Sloop.
The one for my barge is in american maple while the second is in pink pear.

When assembly is complete, the bracket is glued to the base.

I will be able to finalize my project.

Thank you Derek. Yes this barge is a nice model. Syren provides us with magnificent models.

The end is coming. The barge is positioned on its support.

I still have to order an acrylic display covers and finalize the border of my base.

Glad to finish my first model.

Congratulations Jean-Paul on finishing your first ship model.  You did an excellent job on building this model and it turned out to be a model that you can be proud of.  I enjoyed following your build log and will follow your other builds.

Thank you Ryland, my first ship model is in fact the AVS, but rigging will probably take me time... The Medway longboat will probably be finished before 😉

Very nice presentation. I like the way you have displayed he sweeps/oars. Today is sweep and flag pole day for me and you model is a great inspiration.

Thank you Michael, I will follow the progress of your work on the barge with great interest. She will surely be magnificent.
