1733- 36 gun- Dutch armed merchant ship--Hof van St Janskerke

two more planks pined and drying on both sides.       

oops--my mistake, one plank glued, and a second plank pined and drying.

two more planks on port side.  

Still watching from the back seat.  Nice work.  Plank away!

 The Lighting for picture taking is pretty good thru the windshield and you get to stay out of the weather. That space is going to be tough once you get the masts on. Maybe move to a van?

   Thanks Santa.

some work on the decks.  

I'm not sure how I have managed to miss out on this build, but I'm definitely planning on following ththe project. Really nice work, Santa - looking forward to seeing your progress on this!

I have been watching santa , really enjoying your work .

Hello!

One thing, that has been bugging me for a long time (other than why are the photos mostly taken in a car) is why are the decks totally flat - my idea was always that the decks should be bulged to let the water drain overboard better. So how about those decks here - was this ship special in this respect?

Good luck with your build and have a nice day

Hello!
