Oh yes about "winter solstice" ...  I hate these dark days.

A little update end of the year. I found out the whales are a bit to high, one more plank should have been there .. bit frustrated but will not change it ...

Did some more details :-)

Starboard got the sheer rail, port might get the timberheads shown and I did the channels (not part of the kit though .. wonder why ..) and some moulding strips :-)

The kit does not include a cap rail for the stern, which I don't really like. While testing how this could be realised, there was unfortunately a small accident: a clamp slipped off and destroyed the laser-cut decorations and a window. After letting it sink in for a few days, I got to work and realised the cap rail with a strip of pear. It wasn't easy with all the curves, but then there was a bit of wood putty and therefore a lot of black paint :-D A few simple moulding strips were also added to the stern.
