HMS Thorn. Scratch build Swan class following the books written by David Antscherl and Greg Herbert

I attended a course a few months ago in preperation for carving figures on my Fubbs. Its great fun and even at my age, the muscles learn very quickly and progress is rapid. I'm now working through Bill Short's book on carving using dental drill bits and scapels and finding my carving course was an excellent foundation. Enjoy.
 
May I suggest, after my minimal experience of a few months, to request AI to render design into 3D. I simply requested ChatGPT to do so.From a simple drawing, the depth perception is enhanced. Also 2 simple tools- small dental burrs and disposable chisel blades-from 2 to 5 mm.
