This Xebec is the result of 1.5 years of work. There is a build-blog on this forum:

You've done an outstanding job on a model of the ship I think is the most beautiful ever. I built a Xebec from plans in Popular Mechanics magazine in the 60s, but it was lost in time. As a kid, I'd take it to our dark basement, and use a light to cast shadows on the wall, imagining it sailing from all angles. I'd be building this one if I had room for it. But I can still look at yours, in its completed glory as well as your excellent build log, and enjoy that, remembering the old times. Thank you for posting.
