A Dutch Fluyt in shell first, reconstructing the "Ghost ship" scale 1:36

Step by step progress. First set out an idea for the shape of the outer edges.

I reduce the thickness of the coat of arms by half by constantly removing and deepen the carving.

Until the finall thickness on the front is reached.

On the rear I have removed even more material. I decided to carve the year of construction. This will be partly hidden by the flagpole. The rearside is not finished yet and will be fine tunedwhen the tails of the dolphins are finished.

The top view shows the reduced thickness.

Next are the tails.
 
The carving is put aside again for the next holiday afyer only some minor things have been added. The initials and some first scales were added.

Back to the build with fairing the hull on the inside to fit the ceiling or wegering in Dutch.
After the use of the proxxon grinder with sanding disk doing the course sanding it is time for some elbow grease.

I use foam strips to which I glue some sanding linnen in grade 100 and 220. Which gives a perfect result in all the curved shapes.

Now the inside is faired I can start measurements for the deck clamp, balkweger in Dutch, of the tween deck or koebrug dek in Dutch.
