[Stargazer]

I dont think they (or he) is at that point yet…. Could be wrong….

A very good kit meets a very good modeler

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

And you can lay out 3D models of the aft part of the vessel, and side galleries.
