Great work, and probably only you will ever know the cost and quality of the original kit that ended up as a fine looking ship.

Friend/family's house should be a good place to leave a model(if they knows how to take care of it)

 

[Peter Gutterman]

Looks like a happy home, indeed!

I think that shelf, among other Minnesota cultural decorations, at his family lakeside home is the perfect place for it.

The topic of making a Halcon model inspired me a lot because unlike more expensive complete and well-explained ship models, this model gives me a lot of freedom in making and improvising.
A big challenge for me was making pins for this model (of course they are not included in the set)
This is the first version...
Model number one...
8mm long...

Those belaying pins are amazing! What type of lathe are you using and what wood are they made of? Nice work.

Love those pins!

 

[Uwek]

They are looking very good

It's funny that I did this on the cheapest lathe on the market (49euro) and I used cheap wooden toothpicks made of birch wood.
With the help of the tool I painstakingly made, I can now make them relatively quickly in larger quantities.

I am always inspired by this kind of work.
Love it!

Hey... SIMPLE works!

Is the lathe like this one? LINK

 

[Isidor]

Yes, just like that!
You shouldn't expect much from it, so it can do the job with a little adjustment.

I wish I had seen this before I got my Proxon!
