Ooh! That's going to look great!

I hope so. I am trying to do my best.

Dear friends,
I did some research, actually I should have done this at the beginning, Conny's length according to Wikipedia is 63 m from billet head to taffrail. When I measure my model I see that it is 89.7cm. Accordingly, the scale of my model is 1:70, not 1:76. Please accept my apology for this.

I would be grateful if an administrator could revise the scale in the title accordingly.

This is what the cabin walls look like after being painted white. I'm pretty happy with the look.

Mizzen mast bitts were fabricated and installed.

The frames of the hatchways on the spar deck were made and glued in place along with the ladders.

I was away from my shipyard for a while because I had other things to do. I'm happy to be back again. I completed the assembly of the commodores cabin walls and doors that I started before.

Wonderfully neat nestling of your lodging and hanging knees, Mustafa. All of your interior bulkhead work is trim and tidy. Awesome progress!

After a long summer break, I returned to my shipyard. I spend summers at my house in Alanya district of Antalya, a world-renowned holiday destination frequently visited by foreign tourists. On maps, it is located in the south of Turkey on the Mediterranean coast. I had wonderful days with my children and grandchildren and regained my energy. Now it's time to work.

I completed the walls of the Commodore cabin. Now I will start making the furniture in the cabin.

I made a console and table with chairs for the commodores cabin.
