Peter! I celebrate birthday as a 3 month long event beginning with the birthday and ending when I run out of birthday money 
. So, I'm officially not late to wish you Happy Birthday! Keep the party going!
On another note, somehow I lost track of your build. It's on my watch list, but alerts are sporadic. Here's my reaction:
There is an artist where I live who claims to be able to see the sound of music in colors. She paints this and is shown in galleries. This came to my mind when I saw the halves of your ship mated. Somehow, you've made this wonderful object that looks like the third movement of Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherezde. It doesn't get better than that.
Blessings. Peace. Gratitude.

Thanks, Chuck. It's a bit the same with New Years Wished. Some say it's only allowed for 2 weeks. But when I met some colleagues throughout the year we always give each other the Best Wishes. Just start at Jan. 1st, end at Dec 31st, then start again with new ones .........Peter! I celebrate birthday as a 3 month long event beginning with the birthday and ending when I run out of birthday money
And thanks for this very nice words! And about that Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherezde: I know it. And for me as a former BrassBand tuba player I special love the first phrases with the Ff brass players: "The See and Sinbad's ship". Not a bas choice for the SoS! Thanks for pointing it: I am now listening to it!
Regards, Peter
Congratulations! Good luck in your hobby and may all your plans come true!

All good things come in two's .........
The last part of the construction on the starboard side was the wooden block on the inside of the bulwark at the bow.
As reinforcement of the bow and as support for the half round channel for the anchor chain and the rectangular 'hawsepipe' with roller. The 'Reep' of the fishing nets is brought in over the roller with the help of the steam spindle.
With the necessary sanding I could make this from a block of wood. But given the curves I decided to laminate it.
A matter of stacking whole and half slats with overlapping seams with continuous check of the curve.
Once ready with both openings and in the primer, one last check:
Something is not right! If it fits on the stem, the rear part (at the white arrow) sticks out. In addition to the curves there is also a twist. This is clearly visible in this photo:
Because of the course of the frames from the straight bow to the curve halfway.
Started working on the 2nd version:
The soaked slats bent and twisted. The 1st version is still next to it.
After much fitting and measuring, this was the final result:
Now it follows all the curves.
And this is now the view of the front.
The support for the sloop also in color:
Reading the old specifications, I discovered that the black intermediate (black) floor is called a 'koekepan' (frying pan).

Fantastic! The second time was the charm...
You are a very skilled modeler, and your work is always a pleasure to see. Bravo, mon ami!
Bravo, mon ami!
Thanks, Paul and Jim. Now I see the macro picture of the wooded rectangular 'hawsepipe' I am not for 100% happy. It was overal made of 2 glued layers, cut and sanded by hand. For the cover of the hatches on the port side the mill will be set on the desk. Perhaps a more tighter version will be made ……..You are a very skilled modeler, and your work is always a pleasure to see.

Beautiful!!
Both the pictures of the actual ship and more importantly, your work, which seems to mirror reality!
It is encouraging to see that even one with your incredible skills sometimes has to redo a part. Bravo!!

Agreed! The installation of the roller block and hawsepipe are, as usual spot on! The kind of beautifully realized detail that sets your model apart!You are a very skilled modeler, and your work is always a pleasure to see.
I totally concur Peter, Peter (The kind of beautifully realized detail that sets your model apart!
) has that amazing ability to incorporate the “nth” degree of detailing in his models. Baai Baai Mooi Peter. Cheers Grant

It is magical how you transpose real life to the model. And the small bits really matter!
Thanks, Brad. I am also a member of the ‘re-do club’ for many years.
I could compare the similar parts of the original and the model side-by-side, but this time a line-up.

Thanks, Pete. As written above, I see ‘some irregularities’. But builder see much mote on there own models ……..Agreed! The installation of the roller block and hawsepipe are, as usual spot on! The kind of beautifully realized detail that sets your model apart!
