Fantastic work on the little boat Peter!
Just beautiful work, really nice.Continuation of the small boat
The holliday season gives me so time off and so I can also do some work on the ship. While we are celebrating Christmas, my friends in the USA are fighting for their lives. I sincerely hope you guys are allright and live to tell the tale. It's some storm that's getting the USA on it's knees if I may believe the reports.
Some updates on the small boat. It's a lot of figuring out to build it. I have no drawings and only a few pictures to scratchbuild it. I'll take you along the way what I have done within these two days....

Your boat truly looks excellent, Peter. For sure you have scratch-build skills - your whole build so far is testimony to that.
Good afternoon Peter. The guide most definitely, I will follow your lead here for sure - improve that is highly unlikely.Thank you, yes we had, hope your's the same? Just making a step-by-step guide for you to follow and to improve!![]()

Dear PeterConstruction of the rudder.
A small update on the lifeboat. I've constructed the rudder from walnut and made the hinges from very thin brass sheetmetal and blackened them.
The shape of the helm is similar as on the big ship. I like these small details where you can see that there is a relationship between one another.
Still some work to do on her until she is finished and can be placed on deck of the big ship, but the list is getting shorter:
- anchor and cable
- small carving on the stern
- construction of the stand
- oars

Nice ‘metal-parts’, Peter. With the hinge pins at that angle, it is quite laborious to make the whole function.Construction of the rudder.
