A small vacation has passed by.
This time has served to dry the model. I have processed with scotch brite and steel wool.

To my point of view – the color – calico shine.
The color of the timber is a dream - like the overall appearance - I think it is very realistic - Really a great model 
I’m working on spars and steel.

Hand-made lathework.
Since I had troubles connecting can hook binding to the wood, I had to strengthen the knot by means of metal pintle.
Mastkoker assembled
When you show these working steps - it is looking like it would be so easy to make all these parts - Very good details
Masttop.
I couldn’t find a Dutchman name, but it’s probably a weathervane (windvaan) .

Outstanding Work Brother
In Ditch we call it "vaantje" or "wimpel" if it is a bigger one.
This is "de giek".
Greetings, dear Maarten .
Thank you very much for Your help.

The mast is in the transportation position.
But this is just for the report, after the final assembling and installation of the rigging I 'm not planning on putting the mast in the transportation position, so this function will be left for the soul, so to say.

Amazing details work Aleksandr! The benefits of a large scale are obvious, you can show a lot of details. But...in the same token, you are responsible to make them really good. I think you did a great job!!
