Hi Herman, Peter and Tobias,
Thank you very much! Really appreciate it
I must admit, progress is very slow lately... Beside the normal excuses like very little time (kind of giving my house a make-over), I struggle a lot with the stern (transom?).
Here a some pictures. But like I said, hardly any progress...




Really struggle to make this accurate according the drawings...

Hi Ronald. It looks to be ok. I have seen many people struggling with this part of the build. As long as you keep enjoying it keep going.
But for now, celebrate your special day.

Happy Birthday Ronald.
And someday I have to start on that part to on my ship. I gives me the creeps, because it is hard and difficult. But yours starts to look real good.

Happy Birthday!

Hello Ronald,

Your transom looks ship-shape to me. Only a little fairing required, but the geometry of it all looks very solid. Happy Birthday in the midst of a busy life!

 

[Ronald]

There is some progress... I continued working on the final pieces of the hull...



And a true milestone, the last piece of the hullframe...

The result so far...


I Think the next step is sanding by hand for the next couple of weeks...

 

[Steef66]

Good to see some progress, nice work. And yes sanding on this big ship looks like a lot of work. Succes

 

[WojtasS]

Wow. Such ammance amount of work. Good luck with sanding

 

[Herman]

Congratulations on reaching this milestone.

Nice to see another contribution, Ronald. And that it still worked. Sanding will certainly give you new energy.
Regards, Peter

Hello, time for an update...

I am, for now, ready with sanding... It can still be better, but I will do that when I get to those parts...

This photo shows that the stem still need some work...


Next is the keelson....
