Not if you are a Limburger like me, nobody can't understand our Limburgs language, but we speak English, German, French, Dutch and Limburgs ofcourse.Actually the British just speak a Dutch dialect and we Dutch a German one and still we don t understand eachother

I am up to date with your build log again Paul. Excellent work again. Very well done.
Looks like this one is going to have 200 posts too
Thank you, everyone, for the likes and encouraging comments.
For my next task I moved to the outside of the hull. The Vasa esping came complete with bumpers (or at least that's what I'm calling them)! Here they are on the real boat:
My rendition came out like this:
Next, I took on the seating area at the very stern of the boat. First, I had to install the most aft seat (carefully notched to receive some boards).
Here you can see the installed seat brackets:
Forming/fitting the stern seating area was just plain HARD. It's not my best result, but it took a heroic effort just to get this...
Next up - the same thing in the bow (only not a horseshoe this time!!!).

Holy Cow, Paul! That boat is fantastic!
Paul, the detail you are packing into that tiny Esping rivals that of your hand painting skills. It's hard to take your eyes off of it.
Heroic? Possibly. Very nicely done, nevertheless.
Absolutely, totally agree

Paul, are you going to make a tiny esping to display next to your Wasa?
Ditto.Absolutely, totally agree
Hi Paul,
Fantastic work.
It looks to me like you are really enjoying making this little boat.
You're looking at it. Recently I have begun to suspect that something is off on the scale: either the mother ship is smaller than advertised, or I got something wrong scaling the drawings to the known size of the esping.
For all the research I do I still manage to make mistakes...guess my wife has been right about me all along...

All the close-up pictures of the esping made it look larger that it really was... kind of like that other thing we men have...
I was waiting for it...here we go
I have always been into making miniatures, now I know why
