Sweet work Dimitris...the pattern made by those bowsprit nets looks really cool!

 

Give your eyes a rest and perhaps enjoy an ouzo...I think you've earned it.  :)

 

Cheers,

 

Nigel.

G'day Dimitris

What a fine ship you have! Now I know you secret, you've got a lovely assistant working with you.

Nice work on the netting Dimitris......... both attempts looked good to me , but it's hard to tell unless you have the model in front of you,

the color of the netting looks real good too...

Many thanks for all the likes , wishes and visits to my build... :)

I have decided to change the workflow from the deck areas to assembling the masts.... The main mast tapered and painted with an airbrush (The white sections painted with a brush). And some photos...

 

Kind regards

Dimitris

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIMITRIS

 

I hope you had a great day and that you got all of the toys that you had hoped for and maybe even a few more. Great work on your ship as always , port holes sure do look good along with your bow sprint and netting along with your white chains that sure brings your ship to life . Just trying to get caught up on some of the great build logs here on the MSW Form since our week off up north,                                             ENJOY.

 

Regards   Lawrence

Thank you very much Lawrence for your nice words and for your wishes!!! :)  I'm looking forward your return to the shipyard!!

 

Best Regards

It's definitely a great ship mate and you are going full steam ahead. So, it will be finished at this rate, and I, for one, will be very sad to say goodbye to this wonderful and informative log. Well done mate!

Hi Dimitris

 

It's only now that the masts are in (albeit temporarily), that the size of your AV becomes apparent. She's certainly looking very impressive so far!

 

I'm looking forward to the rigging process.

 

Cheers
