Le Saint Philippe 1693 after Jean-Claude Lemineur (Ancre) in scale 1:48

With all that said, it is enormously satisfying to look at the above images and know that I started with a few pieces of one-inch-thick lumber leaning against my work bench about two months ago.

I’m with you on this, mon ami. I’m fully satisfied with all the images you’ve shared. It looks like you’re on the right track and clearly know what you’re doing.

Oh, I know exactly who always knows what to do next... but are you sure you want his help? You might end up needing a jeweler's lathe (actually, I want one myself), a microscope, and a PhD in shipworm psychology by the time he's done advising.

Actually, now that you put it that way, I'm good...

I may be on the right track, but I'm not sure if I'm driving the train or the train is bearing down on me .

Well..., either way, mon ami, you are definitely on the tracks, so that is a good start. If you are driving the train, full steam ahead. And if it is bearing down on you... Just hold up a hull and hope it stops to admire your craftsmanship.

Paul,

what do you think about writing a small story book? This helps me to set the necessary steps in the right order.
Your frames are looking really nice.
