Wow,

 

I'm blushing right now.........

Thank you very much for your kind words.

I watch her and I have a little mixed feeling.

She is finished but......it looks if one of the children is moving out.

Sjors, I am currently working on the HMAV Bounty (CC) and I am strongly leaning toward the Agamemnon as my next build. That said, I started reading your blog a few days ago and have been totally intrigued with your craftsmanship. I'll have to admit that I have some trepidations about starting such a complicated build, but I am also excited about the prospects. Thank you for inspiring me, and I am sure others, with your work and words.

Thanks Donn,

 

It is not that difficult to build her.

You have build before so it should be no problem.

With the help of all the other members it will also work for you.

And make a build log with a lot of pictures !

And if there any questions, just ask.

You always get an answer from someone.

 

Sjors
