Happy Christmas to all modelers !  😘

Thank you, and Joyeux Noël to you. I have enjoyed watching your build this year.

[CRI-CRI]

Four blocks done  😘

 

[daniel.b]

There it's good!!!!

 

[mtaylor]

The blocks look great.   Merry Christmas to you.

[CRI-CRI]

The main mast's rake is an interessant question

 

For the Niña, I chose a rather neutral setting around 8° forwards, she was'nt a racing ship  😘

The first was already difficult, this one will be even more difficult!
Good luck.

Four strikes each side done :

 

[daniel.b]

It is really very small.

[CRI-CRI]

The only difference with the first version is the removal of rear chamber

Now, the planking of hull is done, tomorrow, I hope taking out the cake...  😘 :

With experience there is no problem. The most difficult remains to be done.

On the mizzen mast, this position of the hoist surprises me, but after checking it looks good!

Today work :

Here is a realization that looks like something.
Is this the solution of the era? No one can tell. But it's a way of doing it that works.

With your experience, it can only be well.

I like that.

[Louie da fly]

That boat's looking good. I'm just starting on the boat for my own Great Harry, so I'm very interested in what you're doing.

[CRI-CRI]

Happy new year to all my friendly followers !  ☺️

 

@ Louie da fly : the ship's boat counts actually about sixty-six different parts, at end, it will probably exceed hundred...   😘 

 

Hull-timbers done :
