Model is looking better every day and more details to see.
Hallo my friend
Very nice add-ons for the model - giving some life on the deck.
The windows are looking very good - I am looking forward to see how they were done - interesting also for other projects
The center line of the lugger was full of these structures
-> I have one question to the deck planking: I was wondering why the modeler made on the quarterdeck the treenailing with only one nail per plank (red arrow) and on the main deck two nails per plank and beam (green arrow)?

Maybe he ran out of treenails....
Hi Uwe
I made the tail nails and the front deck nails differently.The main reason is that the size of the lower girder is different. The thickness of the front deck girder is 5mm and 4mm,The girder at the tail is 3.5mm.

One more thing, the news just got today is that the United States has stopped all flights to and from China,I don't know if it will affect the transportation of goods
We will contact the transportation company for details as soon as possible. I hope it will return to normal before the shipment in July

July is still a few weeks away so things may change. I assume deliveries to the rest of the world would be unchanged?
Express delivery is normal in other places
The news I saw in the morning, I hope it will be back to normal as soon as possible
2020 is like a disaster movie, full of bad news.
I hope that the bad news will come to an end as soon as possible, so that everyone can return to their normal life, protect themselves and their families
Great work Tom.
With regards to Uwe's question about the windows, I presume they are mica, as that was what was supplied with my excellent quality Enterprise model by CAF.

Let's work together
Tom, what variety of timber is used on decking please ?
It looks the same timber as supplied with the Enterprise kit.

Yes, maple
This was in the news - Yes - but this is often linked to the public travelling flights, usually the cargo planes are not effected......
or does this effect also the the cargo flights?
We can all hope, that the people are all coming down soon, so that a normal international cooperation will be possible - the actual and the future problems are mainly global problems, which can be solved only together.......
BTW: @CAFmodel and @Brian077 - many thanks for the answers
I don’t believe dedicated cargo carriers like TNT, DHL and Fedex would be affected. They may even be more reliable than current regular postal mail that suffers from the turbulence affecting the passenger airline industry. But who can be certain in these crazy times.
Mates, Ban is only affected public (people) travel and doesn't affect cargo.
