Hi all. Not much of my presence here-you see, as many of you, I had trusted my build logs-my techniques and my finished modes in MSW.
And as this had happened in the past, all gone.To my opinion "Once is a mistake, twice the same is a choice".!
Anyway, I feel good that I can place photos of my latest model here for the first time, since I was lucky and I didn’t post them in MSW.

The model represents a Gr traditional merchant sailboat of about 1900, with a hull of type "Tsernike" as it was called, and rigged as "Radopsathi".
"Tsernike" comes from the Turkish word for a boat "Tsikirne" or from another boat by the Danube River called "Cernik" ή "Cirnik". This type of hull used to be sharp on both ends but a version of that was also with a decorated stern counter.
The name of her rigs "Radopsathi" comes from the type of her sails, where in after mast she has a boom sail (rada=horizontal spar) and a lug sail (psatha=straw curtain) in foremast.
I build the model based on photos of a real sailboat and similar ones.

Scale 1:30 /Dimensions: L:62 cm- W:11.5 cm- H:43cm
Thx

Hi Thanasis, I was wondering: is it possible to get some information about the entire rigging? Thanks. Frank
