After much deliberation it’s become clear that my hands are not quite up to continuing this project. Instead, I have moved to the next item on my build list that I’m very excited about. I intend to return to this build once I have completed a project on a larger scale and has less fine detail. Please check out my new log on the Norwegian coastal ship Froya, a more recent example of Norwegian ship design that was extremely important to Norway in the 20th Century. I will have this log set up shortly. Thanks to all who replied to the posts on this log and you have not seen the end of it.

Froya: An Important History and a Wonderful Kit
I recently set aside, for now, my build of a Nordlandsjekt that I began before transplant surgery left me with neuropathy in my hands. It was necessary, due to the fine detail work that it requires and my hands, for the time being, are simply not up to the task. I left a note on that log...
