Heinrich,No need to resist the temptation. It looks great, Jan - I just love the cock!
John,A very rustic life like model, she really looks fantastic, just like the real thing, wait a minute, she is the real thing, you have done a superb job,
Best regards John,
That looks amazing, Jan!I fully agree. Rather wait for the clips that you know will do the job rather than compromise with a "second best" solution.
You have been busy, Jan! I think the mahogany and basswood will contrast very nicely with each other and should make for a striking effect.
I am a fan of the contrasting wood color tone.The Stern:
The instructions for the stern bulwarks indicate a build up of a few pieces, the waterway, 1/16 x 1/8” Basswood to a 1/2“ height for the bulwarks, another shaped piece (similar to the waterway) on top of the bulwark and then vertical planking with 1/16 X 1/4“ Basswood.
I’m planning on using two pieces of 1/16 X 1/2” material. The inside piece will be Basswood and the outside piece will be Mahogany. The two pieces will be separated by some 1/2” pieces of 1/16 X 1/16“ square Basswood.

I used Mahogany instead of the kit supplied Basswood to build the bulwarks so using Mahogany for the stern bulwarks seemed like a great idea.
