I started this model in April 2013.
I dedicate about 2 hours a day to its construction...

Beautiful ship. I recieved a care package today with a prepaid visa and just ordered this Monographie. I love Gerards Work he does a nice job now the wait too bad they plans werent available for digital download

JosephH · Dec 11, 2020

My Monographie and plans arrived today only took 2 weeks. I been bedridden with pneumonia for a while now and just went back to work today so when I get a paycheck in I am going to get a few of the important plans scanned in and Start a 3D build. its a beautiful ship and not so large it cant be done at bigger scale. the plans are 1/36th scale

Hey Giampy I was looking my plans over and trying to figure out these filler blocks. I am assuming that is what they are. But am curious are these fillers the same width as the Keel?

My plans arrived in the mail today! I anticipate this to be a 10-year project for me

While waiting for inspiration, the two mascon decorations remained pending; I decided that it was time to complete them and to make the figurehead as well.
