Brilliant modeling! So much to learn from you!
Well done, Andreas. Those aren't easy parts.

Thank you so much for all your kind words and praise; they make me very happy!
Unfortunately, I have some bad news.
Luckily, only the counter keel broke; everything else came apart at the glued joints. I'll see if I can put it back together perfectly.
Regards
Andreas

What are you doing, Andreas?
For goodness' sake.
I hope you can fix it without anyone noticing.

Hi Andreas,
That's really annoying what happened to you. But I think many of us have experienced something like that.
I'll check back here in a few days and enjoy seeing the progress on this beautiful model. Then all of this will be forgotten.

Up until now, I thought I'd managed to fix it pretty well. It'll be difficult to repair the counter keel without leaving a small gap, but luckily we have sawdust and glue.
Luckily, it didn't fall directly off the workbench; otherwise, the damage would probably be worse. While reinstalling the keel, I leaned the ship upright, bow down, against the edge of the workbench and, of course, bumped it. I wanted to share this with you too, not just the fun parts of shipbuilding.

Hello everyone!
Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words.
After a two-day break, I was able to continue. You can see some damage in certain areas, but it's very minor. And so, apart from the mirror warp, the stern assembly is now complete. It's been a great experience building such a complex structure...
Regards
Andreas

Nice recovery, Andreas. All is forgiven.
I'm glad you were able to repair everything so far. Very clean work on the rear gallery.
