Hey Grant, 
Happy New Year 2026 to you and your loved ones! Thank you for sharing your family photos. I really enjoyed them! I was on holiday in Singapore, so I didn't get to look at SoS much over the holidays.
But what I see now is really great. You've done a lot of work on the ship. It looks fantastic. As you know, I'm a big fan of your build report!
Best regards,
Günther

Good morning Gentlemen. Not much modelling time with company year end and SARS (IRS- USA, HMRC- UK) together with Ashtyn’s wedding.
A little bit of progress on the starboard planking around the gunports.
Lots of finishing to do:
Of course the proud Dad has to post a few pics of the wedding :
These are from friends etc as we don’t have the official photos yet :
I told a secret during my speach
Said something cute :
Got the hug:
Of course my “grandson “ had to get in the game :
My favorite:
Cheers Grant

Beautiful pictures ! Congratulations to the Bride and Groom !!!
And as always, your work is top notch !

You have to divide your time, Grant. And you took your best time at that lovely wedding to speech.
Regards, Peter
The model is gorgeous, but happy to say it comes in a distant second to the bride. Congrats to both the bride and groom and to you and yours Grant.

PS: I love that the rails are actual strakes, not thin pieces glued on top of the planking. Well done

Wonderful wedding pictures Grant. I can see the love and joy in the young couples' eyes. Also, your ships planking is showing that old world charm, what a great post!
Congratulations on the wedding 'win'! It is a special day when a dad gives his daughter away. It looks like a great event with a beautiful couple!
Wonderful pictures!
Those perfect cannon ports and awesome planking, pale in comparison to the pictures of the loving couple and her proud parents!!
Thanks for sharing and glad the wedding was such a success.

Grant! The word that came to mind looking at your ship is "crisp." Your precision work is lovely to behold.
Wonderful wedding pictures! You have a beautiful family and one can only hope your new son-in-law passed the Kattner test
Many blessings!
Chuck

Hey Grant,
That's just unfair. How am I supposed to comment on your construction progress when you post such lovely family photos? OK, I'll just keep it short: W
– Wonderful bride
– Sweet couple
– Great dad...
And of course, as always, what you're building looks stunning!!

Thank you Jeff. I wish I could get my cutting skills like some of the other guys where every angle fits exactly. I end up sanding and trimming too much…..Ahhh one day. Ashtyn and Micheal say thank you.Sometimes, the ship models have to wait.
And as always, your work is top notch !
True story Peter. It was a special day and I managed to get through my speech without crying….a few stops to gather myself was required tho.
Thanks Heinrich. I did show the comments to Arlene and Ashtyn. Ash says thank you very much.
Good morning Brad. Yep, it was a very proud day for Alene and I. We are very happy to give our “baby” away to Michael- Luckily for us
True story Paul. I’ve looked forward to the day when I could walk Ashtyn down the aisle and it did not disappoint. Ashtyn and Michael did not want the “traditional “ wedding and it was brilliant- from the position of the biased parent
Thank you kindly Christian
Ashtyn and Michael say thank you very much.
Thank you Peter. Totally agree with you. The blessing of family is something blessed and to be appreciated while we can. Thank you for the compliment. The old Grant cannot express himself too much with this model…..hmmm maybe it is timeCongratulations with this beautiful wedding Grant. What a bless it is, family!! The model is awsome....Miss the "old" Grant a bit. This is top notch work my friend!
nothing like "een boer maak n plan"
Good morning Gunther. Now you know why I sneaked in my gunports with the wedding pics- great diversionHey Grant,

. Thank you for your kind words - certainly appreciated.Thanks Stephan. He prefers the beach and likes to yap at the bigger dogs which see him as breakfast
. It was a very good day.Good afternoon Chuck. Thanks for your compliments. I’m at that stage where so much finishing is needed but I’m just not keen for the little by little edging and sanding at present- I will get there tho. I wish I could be more precise with cutting and preparing each little plank….maybe one day I will be able to build like some of the guys here. Hmmm in a galaxy far far awayGrant!

I am very blessed to have my family and lucky to have my kids live close to me. Ashtyn says thank you.
“The Kattner Test” ! I think Michael would tremble at the thought
. My test is easy- you be good to my little girl and I will be good to you…..if not the African bush veld is a vast place never to be found.Cheers Grant
