    @IGinBasel Hi ya ..
    Yes , simplistic .. this is one of the best models I have built . This build wasn't about the boat but the people I met while doing my research into the whale chasers here in New Zealand .... Build exactly to scale , even all timber sizes. Build from mainly some recycled African mahogany from the Christchurch City council building that was demolished after the chch earthquake ..
    Cheers Gav.👋👋

    GavJ, what a fantastic model. Brilliant in its simplicity. I also like the specs. Just my cup of tea - except: I'd have no idea where to store a 2m-model or lift 20 kg to a high-enough shelf. Ian
