G'day all,

I have decided to build my first model ship "The Half Moon" by Kolderstok. Well it is a working progress as I actually started it on the 4th of July 2026. It has been a great ship to build and a great learning experience. Currently working on the sails and enjoying the stitching of the rope on the sails. Have got a few photos of the process but not at hand to download them as yet. Am currently still waiting with the sale of the house and have done everything by hand as all my tools are packed in storage. I will try to keep you posted.
