thorfinn Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Another unimaginably lovely work of art! Truly beautiful. And the sails are exquisite. ('Tradition' or no, a sailing ship model without sails to me looks like an aircraft without wings...not quite 'all there!') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandsaw Steve Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 That’s jewellery! Just beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShipbuilderMN Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 Thanks, It will be going in a sea, hence the sails. If I had been showing it at anchor, or full-hull, it would have had furled sails. It has taken 40 hours so far, (spread over a few weeks) but that includes making the display case,sea base and sea.
