HMS Alert [1777] 1:48 POF by serikoff. (Two hulls: skeleton and fully rigged)

Hooray! I'm done drilling, and by my count, there are 3,222 holes in total. Considering that 3/4 of the holes were drilled in two passes, that means there were at least 5,500 such drillings.

No pencil lines.

The meditation is complete ROTF , and now it's time to polish everything and get back to work.

Merry Christmas to all my colleagues! May you achieve new heights and achieve all your plans for this year!

Simply beautiful Sergey!

As I sit here watching the snow gently fall outside, I cannot even begin to imagine the difficulties you and your countrymen are facing. I truly hope you and your family are able to find some joy and peace this holiday season and perhaps a lasting peace with the new year.

Merry Christmas to you and your family as well, Sergey. Let's all pray for peace in Ukraine and throughout the world.

Thank you, friends.

Thank you sincerely for your understanding and best wishes! Yes, unfortunately, by the fourth year of the war in Ukraine, everyone has gradually become accustomed to this situation, not to mention the rest of the world. And in these dark times, we, more than anyone, appreciate the words "peace" and "wishes for peace," when we used to hear them from our grandfathers who fought in the war.

But I'm holding on, and my hobby is my only true joy (after my family). When I model, I completely disconnect from the outside world, and it helps me cope psychologically and not go crazy.

Right now I'm sanding the hull individually with a fine-grained sandpaper... a never-ending task, but very calming.

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!
