My first attempt "Le Rigel"

[Pendragon]

Good afternoon from France, here are a few photos of my first finished attempt of a model boat, the Soclaine "Le Rigel"

I am currently building the Belem, but after moving house, I need to find a new corner for mess (dust and wood shavings)

Happy modeling.

How far are are you with your Belem? I am also working on thsi shipand I am near to completing the hull planking. My biggest challenge has been to cut the shaped (spiled) planks accurately. Any tips on this would be useful from some of the more experienced members…cheers, Lygo members
