When I was in Holland, the team I met in Bilthoven took me out to lunch. They asked me if I'd like to try the herring - I said sure! It was good. Not much different than the sushi and sashimi I had i Japan. Washed it down with Orangeboom!

It makes sense - I have never tried herring, but after all, it's raw fish! :)

Now to me that is impressive and is a sheer indication of attention to detail and paying attention to historical accuracy. It is a lot of extra work, because I will end up building three lifeboats of which only one will be displayed, but this is work I gladly accept. You may wonder why I am also building the bigger boat with the squared stern - the answer is easy: Practice!

Heinrich, now you've done it. I'm going to try the little WB boats (no matter what they are called). I can use the "practice".
 
@Pathfinder65 By all means, Jan - give it a go! I am not sure which one of the two larger ones you have - the one with the squared-off stern or the rounded one.

If frame 9 (red arrow) looks like the one in the picture below, it is the rounded stern.

Not yet finished for the day. I also continued work on the "big" ship's galleon.

Work started by drilling a 2mm hole into the beakhead into which a 2mm squared dowel was inserted and trimmed off to protrude 1cm above the beakhead.

Thereafter a 0.8mm hole was drilled into the hull and the first of the four side railings (1.5mm x 4mm) planks attached to the hull via push pin and to the pin at the beakhead by clamp. After that exercise had been repeated four times, this was the result:

As you can see the hole for the pushpin was used for a brass nail.

To me, the lines of this ship are just beautiful.

All tucked-in and ready for the night. The stamped card in the foreground is my nucleic testing one - five days in a row!

When we were in a version of lock down, not nearly as strick as you have, I moved from city to country and most my stuff was in boxes in shop.

My wife let me bring in a small kit and some tools to work in house to keep me happy.

It's actually ironical Kurt - our situations are just opposite! I have everything I need for model building inside the house, but no wife! ;)

In South Africa we have "afval". If you translate this, you will get tripe, but that is not strictly correct. "Afval" is literally everything - so you can imagine it gets a bit gory at times! China, of course, has its chicken feet, duck blood, stomach lining, etc. to boot.
