Wow, you're forgetting something there m8... you and the chinese are neighbours, to us, your forefathers you live as far from us as is possible on this globe :) And btw, even though I'm belgian, I'm sure I can do a far better barby than any ausie can ;) .... it's all in the marinade.... both...

Is this allowed ???

Well, the frames have been complete stuffed with styrofoam, and the deck has been installed. Even though, according the kit, the deck should have been one piece, I found it completely impossible to install, so I have made a clean cut lenthwise and installed it in two parts.

Sanding atm, so nothing to show yet :)

Sad but true, seems that it's sometimes true what those "pirates" say : "share to save"

Nothing done much today, but after the weekend I should have a couple of days to work on her again :)

Hello Carlos, I had put a post here about the same project in wood, however since I made post more kind of a buildlog itself, mr Zathros thought it deserved it's own thread instead. So, to read what I wrote, you can check : http://www.zealot.com/forum/showthread.php?t=171726 I love your work...

Thank you for creating it's own thread, Zathros, but it's kind strange to have a buildthread of a wooden model in a papermodelling society... well on the other hand, all paper has been wood in an earlier life, I suppose :) Thank you for the comment DC... I guess I'll have to start working on it...

Hello Carlos, Actually I did find pine in the right dimensions a couple of years ago, and started to build up the trebuchet, a couple of pictures is you don't mind me hostaging your log : At that point, I thought the wood looked too clean, no way they would have smoothed the wood to...

When discussing a bookfind like this, it would be very usefull to share the ISBN number as well, that way it's easy to order it from any bookstore around the world ;)

Well a bit for Christmas, but this turkey is almost stuffed :)

Anyway... and this will be my last post (hehe, get it, I'm belgian... last post... Last Post (argh nvm it's in heritence we got from WWI)) for tonight... if I ever get that far into the build when sails will be involved, I most certainly won't use the preprinted sails supplied in the booklet...

Oh, and no, that's no Wodka besides the ship, it's South African dry white wine :) PS : for the first time I notice there is a second window when scrolling down that says "Similar treats"... someone at least started this very same little boat as well it seems :D

Thanks again for the links, "bringer of light", although I'm not able to see the last 3 sites (due to the fact that I'm not a member, and don't understand enough Polish to know where to click to register), but even the two uncompleted links will be a help to me. Meanwhile I'm busy stuffing her...

Thank you for the very usefull link, and thank you for reminding me of the foam, I should have thought of it myself, since I've used that technique before when building my first one : That one (RN Duilio) has never been finished yet, but is still on ice... she's one tough lady to tackle...
