That is unexpected and beautiful! Congrats on completing the third deck.

Thanks, Dean. The joinery obligation on each deck is getting to be a bit much so I may build a 1:72 plane soon .

Chapeau, mon Ami! Bien fait!

I ran out of superlatives in English…

Merci beaucoup, Olivier!

I agree with Brad, clean and perfect.

Thanks much, Stephan. I miss seeing your work!

Thanks much, Stephan. I miss seeing your work!

Me too—I haven’t been able to work on the ship in ages. My arthritis is really acting up. I can’t do any precision work, so I’m writing a lot for *De Modelbouwer* these days, making rope walks in between, and taking care of the necessary household jobs. We’re waiting for better weather—with less rain and warmer temperatures—so my joints can loosen up again.

This open-end stern section allows us to see how the construction of the decks is getting lighter the higher we go:

Paul, your joinery is exquisite. I really like the outcome of the horizontal knees; a mortice style joint makes good sense. It's interesting how quickly the light diminishes on the lower decks, what dungeons those lower decks must have been.
