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

[Maarten]

Nice outside pictures of a nice inside view, Maarten. Good idea to do the carving during the holidays.
Regards, Peter

Until retirement in some 15 years this is the only time you can relax and carve, so until that time maybe no SOTS

Go like me for an early retirement.

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.

Dear Maarten
it's wonderful carving, and the hull of the ship looks beautiful
