Hi Maarten, to show a stack is a bit difficult because I stack them, so to speak, horizontally on the keel..Hi Ronald,
Maybe for you boring but for us not. We want to see some pictures of your huge stack of frames.
Le Commerce de Marseille 1788 - 1801 scale 1:48 from Gerard Delacroix
I called Fittings all those little things on the deck, like cannons, pumps, gratings. Those required time as well, but changed the subject and phase
Hi Ronald,
It was great meeting you on Sunday and admire the sheer scale, size and quality of your build.
The very fine work you did on the keel and the notches on the frames to position them is something a lot of people would skip, especially when working in oak.
Wonderfull work which I will follow with interest.

Indeed, big was the first thing that came up to me.
And pity we had no moment to talk to eachother Ronald. The day needs more hours
Hi Maarten,
Thank you for the nice words! For me, at the moment, it is mainly the size that impresses me. Compared to the level of detail I saw on the other models my model looked like a big chump of wood, see the overview
It really is not difficult, everyone with enough patience can do it…
However, at some time there will be details and I hope they will be as good as yours…
Like the figurehead you made, really a piece of art…
Thanks!
The feeling is mutual! Let’s catch up next year

Hello Ronald
Nice that we talked to each other on Sunday
A very impressive construction that made a great impression on me live, as well as the drawings and the interior that will soon become visible appeals to me.
I have now read your entire construction report and the craftsmanship you show is great
I keep following you
Greeting
Henk

Getting near to a milestone, started the last two full frames...
Great Roland, that's a good feeling and a great milestone.
At last… After approximately 15 months I finished the full frames (and bow)….
Next step: figuring out the best way to make the stern…

Wow Ronald, congratulations on this mile stone.
Very well done Ronald. Congratulations, worth a 
celebration.
celebration.
Here's a small example of the quality of the plan's...
I made the top of this 'closing piece' purely on the basis of the plan, then gave the back the shape of the keel....
