Le Saint Philippe 1693 after Jean-Claude Lemineur (Ancre) in scale 1:48

[WojtasS]

How did you get such a perfect quarter-round all around these fragile windows. They look like it would be automated, like with a miniature router, as they are so perfect. If you have such a router, I want it!

Paul uses a CNC and fakes it is all made by hand

Bizar! Sitting on the chair with a brew and Reading all this. On this scale this is outstanding.

Ha! You're just using my build report as an excuse to have a beer . I have several other logs on this site - just don't drive afterwards .

Hello Friends,

I don't know the exact date this build started because I wasn't going to create a build report. But I'm guessing this is just about the one-year anniversary of my Saint Philippe stern section model. I spent an hour or so looking back over my report. It's remarkable to review all the trials and tribulations overcome with the help of so many friends - my humble thanks.

Coincidently, I visited my mom after church today and she presented me with a gift she has been working on for a while. This embroidered picture of a ship is done in something called cross-stitching (basically a bunch of embroidered 'X's). This is tedious work for anyone - but this art piece was created on the lap of an 88-year-old. What a blessing!

Jokey joke. We know is all you, besides who would want to make a rounded window on proxon mf 70. You would really have to be a masochist or liking unrealistic challenges

PS Congratulations to your Mother, beautiful stitching

Congratulations to your Mother, beautiful stitching

Thank you, my friend. She has been doing cross-stitching for many, many years so every family member has some of her work. But this one feels more special because it was made with me and my current hobby interest in mind.

Congratulations, Paul. With you now ‘over-the-year’ project and with the gift of your mom. She made a beautiful ‘cross-stich’ embroidery!
I know what a amount of work she has done, because my mom made 2 big ones for me.
Mothers are very good embroiderers.
The 2 are hanging in my living room. I am sure yours is also getting a prominent place.
Regards, Peter
