Daniel, I don't comment in your log much anymore as I have run out of superlatives for your stunning workmanship and model.  Seeing these regular updates is very inspirational and shows the level of quality and detail that can be achieved in a model.

 

Have a safe festive break.

I think I have a picture of my Xebec.  I will post it when I find it.

I made it in 1963.  The plans were published in a magazine called Popular Mechanics in 5 issues from November 1958 to March 1959.

It was called: "Modeling the French Chebec" by E. R. Haan.  The plans appeared to be based on the same model that you are building.

Mr. Haan said: "Faithfully reproduced in exquisite detail by skilled craftsmen in the workshops of the French Navy's famous Musee de la Marine in Paris, this beautiful scale model is an authentic copy of the French warship Chebec which was one of several of the xebec class that distinguished themselves by many daring exploits during the years from A.D. 1650 to 1700."  

 

Your iron work is incredible detailed.

Robert

Thanks Robert for the photo, very nice, in 1:72 scale it must have been quite a challenge.
