It took a little time to make a wood carving
I like this complex wood carving more and more

Great progress Tom. 
Hallo my friend,
your Granado is looking extremely good - it is hard to wait to start......
and the figurehead of the HMS Royal William - WOW

Hi Daniel
I try to sell part 3 in March
The holiday is over,My work efficiency is not high these days, and I am gradually recovering
It's cold. I'm a little lazy myself

I looked at this kit and how does it compare with JoTiKa for quality of wood and accuracy of instructions?
Hello Please forgive me for your late reply
The wood is cherry wood. After receiving the kit, you can contact me at any time to replace it free of charge
The instructions will be published on the web page later. If there are errors, the information will be updated on the web page as soon as possible

Hi Spars,
there's no comparison, the CAF kit is vastly superior in every way. The colour assembly diagrams are excellent, along with the wood quality. In addition the CAF kit is a larger 1/48 sale compared to JoTiKa's 1/64 sale.
Also the JoTiKa model is plank on bulkhead compared to CAF model which is plank on frame.

Hi, any idea when the first samples of part 3 will be available?

Your analysis gives me reason to give it a second look.
Thanx for the update. After my fail with the Model Space Victory I'm looking for another kit. BTW, I don't know if it matters but I buy a kit and let it sit in the house for a couple months to 'age' it to the existing humidity and temperature.
Just a note: even when I build furniture, I move the wood to my shop a month or more ahead of time to allow it to acclimate. I prefer kiln-dried woods vs air-dried. Wood moves. In the little lumber in models, movement affecting the model itself is minimal though. Do you live in a high humidity area?
