Very nice, Herman.

Thanks Paul.
The number of shooting holes as per a drawing of Van de Velde. The number and placement of the struts as per my own design. The profiled rail in Castello finishes it and makes it visually attractive.

Very very nice Herman

Thanks Grant.

Very very very nice, Herman.
That also applies to the well made pictures.
Regards, Peter

Thank you Peter.
In preparation for my retirement and handing in my business phone (no more calls at the odd of the day or night ), I have switched to an iPhone. The quality of the photos speaks for itself. I doubt of I could make much better pictures with a dedicated camera.

Simply WOW!

The texture, finish sanding, scraping, and subtle softening of the edges, bring a look of realism to your work that few can achieve!!

Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you Brad for your very nice comment.

Thank you all for the comments and likes, much appreciated.

Latest addition to the model, the rear partition of the gundeck. The plank inserts were painted green, the top beam was placed and the statues (made earlier) on both sides of the doors were also put in place. The hardware for the doors will be later completed.

Hello Herman, I've been following your build almost since the start but this will be my first comment. I just wanted to say that these close-up shots are very impressive, if I didn't know any better I would think you are building at an even larger scale than you are. Your build is a joy to follow!

Thank you Roger for checking in, your interest in my build log and your nice comment. Much appreciated.
Just like you, with the build of the "Arnemuiden", this is my learning journey.

Špičková práca. Tie strely z palubovky majú určité čaro.

Thank you Mirek.
I am still amazed that my first statue, the figurehead, came out so nice.
