beautiful carving Herman

It is quite amazing what your hands can produce, Herman. You have a gift.

Superb Herman

Thank you my dear friends for your very kind words.

The 7P name banner and the carvings are examples of exquisite work, Herman. The 7P is such an impressive ship and just to take on a build like this is a mammoth task. If it takes a few years to complete, so what? The time you are investing is resulting in a superb rendition of her - one you can be immensely proud of.

Thank you very much Heinrich.
When I started this project, I had no idea what awaited me. The term "mammoth task" is the correct description. I have alteady several years invested and I am proud of what I have learned and produced with great joy in that time. Still a lot to learn and a long way to go.

We escaped the heat at home and are spending a few days in Stockholm. A visit to the Vasa Museum is, of course, a must and is certainly highly recommended.
Entering the hall where the Vasa is being displayed is impressive.
It’s not my habit to post photos of myself, but for this occasion, I had to strike a pose .


And some more pictures.







And Some pictures of the 1:10 model on display next to the original.

Hello Herman,
I hope you enjoy your time in Stockholm.
I have always thought that the Vasa is a beautiful ship. One of my favorites. Someday I hope be be able to see her in person.
