Great job with the planking. I've built a few model wooden ships myself and know how tricky and difficult it can be especially a plank-on-frame boat like yours.

Hello everyone,
and thank you very much for your kind comments. Yes, the hardest part for this diorama is making the rowboat. I am not a naval modeler but the 1/35 scale is large enough to achieve this essential element in this adventure. I used cardboard couples stuck on a plastic skittle. The glued and dry wooden planks I removed the cardboard.

Hi all, the continuation with the modeling of the figurines, in a classic way, busts and pelvis assembled with iron rods. The paste in gray is Super Sculpey medium. A photo of the wooden rod sled for naval modeling and a detail of the rigging. Alain
