BALDER, Vlaardingen Herring Lugger from 1912, scratch build scale 1:50 Plate-On-Frame

You show an impressive display of metal stropped blocking, reminding me of the Bluenose blocks. I know it's no easy task getting the tiny hooks to look just right.
 
For the next 2 weeks no Balder or MB-Uhlenhaut building.

‘View on the Sella-Massif.’
Stay now in Corvara with my sports buddy for skiing in the Dolomites with perfect conditions and visiting Olympic events in different areas.
Unfortunately not the ice-skating... that's a 5.5 hour drive to Milan.
Regards, Peter
Enjoy! Beautiful work on the ship and blocks!
