Beautiful work Niels.  I recall as a kid in the late 60's and early 70's I helped my next door neighbor work in this Billings kit.  I'm not sure if his Norske Love was ever finished.  Since this is a scratch built hull, is this the plank on frame hull you displayed at the Museum of Flight February show several years ago?

 

I've put my other ship modeling projects aside as my interest has shifted to Pacific Northwest and Seattle maritime history.  I'm currently researching the lumber schooner Wawona (and C.A. Thayer) and the Downeaster St. Paul with an eye of building a 1/8" = 1' model of each.  As you once told me, for ship modeling "the mood has to be right".  I will never forget that.

 

I do hope you remember the wonderful weekend we had at the Museum of Flight show several years ago.  That was the show where we each wore our red NWSM shirts with yellow "ruler suspenders".  As I recall, you were working on a Viking Dakkar at the time.

 

I hope all is well with you.  Please feel free to Private Message me if you get a chance.
