@Jeronimo also liked the Cuckoo Clocks. I worked for many years at a Pharma company with headquarters in Geneva and Germany. On my position I did many travels to those offices along the years and I finished with 11 Black Forest Cuckoo Clocks.Thanks for the compliments!!!

Absolutely stunning. Nothing to add to all the comments above. Looking forward to your next build.
Im sorry I was late seeing the finishing of the ship Daniel. It was a very fun journey with the emails and all until I had to go
play Bob the Builder for too long. She came out Museum Quality my friend, Im simply astounded how beautifully you
completed this ship. Something to really be proud of and Thank You for letting me tag along

Thank you Clair. You're a great asset for these forums. And thank you very much for all the help you provided. The Marmara is very far away of being a museum quality. I never targeted that , just tried to do my best and have fun. But I really appreciate the compliment.
Cheers and stay around. Now you can visit my new built "the Statenjacht Pegasus". I will need your teaching there too.
Cheers !!

Daniel, it’s obvious you have spent many hours agonizing over the details of this build. I remember how much effort and thought you spent on just the rudder. I think your Admiral was correct on the ropes. I wish I could mirror the elegance you have provided. My work will always probably remain more down and dirty. Great job! Keep up the good work! I will follow you.
Thank you very much for those encouraging words. Please add as many comments or suggestions you would like to do. I am, and always will be, learning on this hobby. Isn’t that great for a hobby.
Cheers
Daniel

Beautifully done. Congratulations.
I think that this is the first visual journey that I have taken with your wonderfully finished and presented Trade Boat. The working arrangement that you employed is exactly how I like to see models. I am particularly impressed with the beautifully carved display base and dolphin supports as the entire presentation holds together very well. I also noticed your collection of Black Forest and other carved cuckoo clocks on the wall. I have one from my great-great-grandmother which somewhere in the Swedish mining camps of Colorado in the third quarter of the 1800s lost the ivory hands and wooden ones were carved to replace those. We have mostly German clocks including a couple of Junghouse which survived WWII. We keep them all running and chiming to provide the heartbeat of the house and symphony of tones when chiming. I hope that your next model is as enjoyable for you as this one has come to fruition. Rich (PT-2)
Beautiful build and log Daniel,
Are there any plans for a display case to keep her safe?

Thank you !!!
Yes... I got the acrylic sides but I am still afraid of gluing them and I haven't come yet with an idea of how to built in wood a box to place those acrylic sides.
Any suggestions?
For now is setting in my office.
Cheers

This is such a nice little ship! Great job on the build.Thank you both !!!!
I couldn't stop myself with more pictures. I placed the boat near the window and the natural light allows for a better resolution of the details.
Zoom them and all is in focus.
So here we go again

Hi Daniel,
Before the suggestions a question, do you have a table saw and if so how big is it?
If you don't have a saw to make your own edging maybe gluing some strip wood to the outside of the case to simulate a frame might be an idea.
If you haven't built a case before have a look at the YouTube channel Scale Model Workshop, Paul Budzik does some great videos one of his latest is building an Acrylic display case.
Cheers,
Stephen.
Stephen, Yes I do have a micro mark table saw.
Thank you for the youtube video tip !!! I will look for it !!!
Cheers
Daniel
I found the video . I will do it in the way he does it. I already have the acrylic cut. I will order the glue.
Here is the link in case anyone is interested.
Thank you Stephen!!!
