Katsumoto Posted February 26, 2023 Share #283 Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Beautiful lines and work on one of the most rewarding things when completed. The hull! You'll manage that corner I'm sure. It's a difficult part indeed, but you will succeed. I believe you are the only Dutch person building this great model. I'll keep following Frank. 😉 Edited February 26, 2023 by Katsumoto FrankWouts 1 Regards, Peter Current project - Xebec Cazador 1750 bashed Previous project - Santa Maria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankWouts Posted July 24, 2023 Author Share #300 Posted July 24, 2023 Hi all, just a small update to let you all know I’m also still at it! Though I don’t have much free building time, I’m almost there with planking the hull. Just another week or week or two of fanatic but precise planking before the whisky plank… Frank.
