Thank youabsolutely magnificent workmanship
a fantastic build. I like your way to make the deck outside- the first planking could be a little better. cabins and other details perfect, so all in all a beautiful LADY.Getting the first layer of planking underway.

Once all the planks are on and dried I pulled all the nails out and glued the keel together and put of the ship to keep its shape. Once dried I took it off so I could finish the rest of the planking.

That's no fun. And thank you hope I can helpVery nice! I'll be referring back to your build as I progress on my model, unfortunately on hold for the next 30 days!
I am now 80 years and have built since the first BILLING Boat started in late1960. I have member here since 2018..I am Danish born into a Seaman family- 6 uncles each with their own cutter- the Dana type. I bought my first big build -NORSKE LOVE-about 1973. It was not laser-cut and with a very bad instruction manual, and at that there where NO EXTRA INFO. to get. Long before computers etc. The first laser cut came into the market in mid-1980. My next build was Vicrort -even worse as it was not sleight pre-cut. only a burning line to follow, and the instruction manual was 17 pages -150x100 on the pages -after plastering the whole room, there were some minor instructions.Thank you all. I wish I would have found out about S.O.S. before hand instead of just dumping everything all at once.
