many thanks JPAM,

I`m very pleased that you like it. The credit also goes to the late former builder of the model. My input was to bring the old lady to life again

Such a beautiful work of art, love the lines of the hull and the attention to detail on the bench seats.  Great work.

 

Many Thanks for your words Icarus, am glad you liked the steamer

Great project. Brings back many memories of my first plank on bulk head project.  My Hjejlen sadly lost due to many house moves and young children.
