Thanks for all the comments

 

I still have the gundeck of the Wasa in stock for a possible next project. That is a more common project

There were and are some reasons I am not so active on this and other forums, just need some time.

Congrats on a vessel that is rarely seen or heard of.  That model would bring many questions at the show in Manitowoc.  Beautiful.

Looks great. However the description plate on the stand (Large Korean lettering, port side) is upside down.

Hello! This boat is beautiful and I've always wanted to make one for myself. What's the company, and where can I find one online?

Thanks!

Great build, it does justice for replicating the Turtle Ship.

I was able to take an up-close walk around and inside the full-scale replica at the ROK Naval Academy.  I've also seen the replica at the National War Memorial in Seoul.  You do great justice to them.  As another commentor stated, the inside was very cramped, I would say more than the USS Constitution.

I was given a brass model of one on my departure from Korea, I lived there for 6 years.

I love your photo of General (Admiral) Yi Sun-Sin, reading his history is well worth it.
