Beautiful and detailed work. I can only agree with my colleagues.

Stepping away from our builds is not the the problem but after beholding your fabulous achievements getting back to them is.
Wonderful precision.

Paul, like the others I get such a fascination from watching your build. I believe most everyone who follows your build is inspired to elevate their own modeling skills.
Ditto. Yes inspirational is what you are Dockattner.
Lots of time, research, and effort in everything you do. The details are just outstanding. I always look forward to your posts.
Thanks Roger. I've seen your work and you have me saying the same about your build
.well...nothing new, dah! As I just said - what else is newAs always... the precision and accurate modeling! Forget about the kit's supplied parts, you can make your own! If you are doing scale models with such accuracy, I wish I could be your orthodontic patient...perhaps now it is too late...I cannot find my teeth anymore
I'm actually good at orthodontics - this is just playing with a small wooden ship .Hello Kurt! Nice of you to visit! This is Castello Boxwood (all the way from Estonia
).You are very kind, Mirek. I'm glad you are enjoying this build!
Agreed. Plus these are fun bits to work on. For you they are a CNC modellers dream!
Thanks Grant. I would say the material gets most of the credit but I'm trying my best..
Thank you kindly, Tobias. Building at 1:48 is quite satisfying compared to 1:64 (Vasa). Plus the boxwood is a dream to work with! Of course your work inspires me to try my best.
Thanks, Herman. But you are too modest by half. I can't keep pace with your work (but I'm chasing along as hard as I can
).Thanks guys. Of course I'm not trying to inspire anyone...but if that's what happens I guess that's good too...
Lots of time, research, and effort in everything you do. The details are just outstanding. I always look forward to your posts.
Yup! A lot of time spent staring at pictures in a book or at other build reports asking myself, "how the $%^&* am I going to build that thing?"

WOW, ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC WORK. It’s a pleasure to follow your log too see the next fine detail you have finished.
Paul, I wish you would do a video on your making of some wood parts ! I think it would be very helpful to people !
what shall / can I say more than only repeating the words of all the friends .....
Very good work
Very good work
One option is just put the parts of a kit together. But no, you give the parts what they are entitled to: a nice fit and a neat appearance. Chapeau, Paul.

Jan, Jeff, Uwe, Peter - you comments warm my heart!
Jeff, I don't see a video coming. Given the time I spend on each little bit it would end up being a mini-series longer than Roots .

Thank you again, friends, for the likes and nice posts. As I am on a 'bitt' of a roll my research has now turned toward jeer bitts and main topsail sheer bitts (of which a Google search leads to vacation rentals and control top panty hose ).

'Control top panty hose' where among the most common of accessories attributed to your average pair of 18th century matelots.
