Great progress Tom! You are not only a good designer, but you are also a craftsman!
Looks fantastic. Sets a high bar for the rest of us!
It is really hard to wait with the building of this model - she is looking very good
A very good kit meets a very good modeler

I am more and more impressed by this kit. And off course the building. Great!

Thank youHello Tom, more magnificent work. Well done.
My friend - these are beautiful works - so we are all looking forward to the final result -hopefully cnc wooden figureheads
Looking at this Hermes (greece) or Mercurius (roman) figurehead, which was the figurehead of the HMS Granado I realized, comparing with the known models and the contemporary drawings, that sometimes he holds the Caduceus staff sometimes in the right hand, sometimes in the left one
Interesting is the fact, that he was not only the messenger, but also was later the patron of the thieves
Tom: This is really a beautiful work
