Rattlesnake from Lumberyard timbering set

[janos]

I finished this ship a couple of years ago but was - as usually - too lazy to put some pictures on the site. So here she is in its finished state - plus a few pictures from the building state with details which can't really be seen now. The port side is fully planked, but the starboard side shows only the frames and through those whatever can be seen of the interior. Janos

HI Janos, where did the Stove come from?

Thanks, Dave. Anyway, for what it's worth, I sent him a direct message just a few minutes ago.

Hi Dave,
Yes I am... a bit slower, though.

Hi Gary,
Self-made, from scratch. I just had a kit for the Granado (which I am still working on), and found out, that mine was not worse than the kit one. (Or, better, if I may say this)

... and I just realised how wrong I was to put an iron ring on the trucks (or, rather, symbolising it with black paint). This ring would've wracked the desk in no time. But I have to leave them as they are for now.
