Many thanks for the nice comments! And it will continue here soon - but with the temperatures that are here in Germany at the moment, you just don't feel like building. 
You are right. We suffer from a heat wave here in Holland too. Don't work on paper models with wet hands! Your paper will all get wavy. Rest and gather strength for colder times....
I know - I was in Amsterdam a few days ago. I had planned to visit the Amsterdam Sail, which unfortunately could not take place. But the Rijksmuseum, the Scheepvaartmuseum and the Maritiemmuseum Rotterdam compensated us well.
Hello friends, there are some news to report. A little summer break has done good. In the nice weather I preferred to sit with my beloved on the terrace and drink a good wine instead of sitting in the shipyard and building the ship. But now autumn is approaching, the weather is becoming dull and grey. Ideal conditions for model building!
But see for yourself: My second dinghy is ready and the foremast has all sails now.
And this beer seems to me to be the right drink to reward me for the hard work.

No surprises of your quality work here, you always make it top-notch! Is that Jimmy testing the rowboat among the crew? Salute your work with the beer I like.
Yes, of corse it's Jimmy! Oh, nice, beer from Bavaria!

Hello everybody, after a few weeks of silence it goes on here again. I have my dinghies ready now. This is the end of my excursion into wooden model making. Ok, masts and yards are also made of wood, I know...
Hallo my friend,
your launches are looking very good - from which supplier are they?

Hello and thank you, the boats are from a Chinese vendor; I bought them on ebay. Look here: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/253116685532
Hello, dear friends!
A big piece of work lies behind me. The main mast now has all the sails. But look for yourself:

Hi friends, thank you for your nice comments and likes.
Today I have set the marsail on the mizzen. I also made sure that there are always enough balls on deck. What I did not manage to do, the guys do for me.

Very good idea with these figurines -
The last photo showing your model from the rear is a beautiful perspective - especially with the sails - Very good work

Hello everyone, the mizzen now also has its topgallant sail. With this I have set all square sails on my ship. Now only the gaff sail is missing.
Hello friends, before I set the last sail, I still want to prepare the small cannons and at least partially already attached. Hopefully the pictures show how I did it - my English is not good enough to explain, sorry....
