I finished the pinas today. That is... when is a model finished? I can think of a dozen things I would like to add, but other projects impatiently wait to be started.
Apart from some minor additions I leave it as it is, since this was only an experiment. All and all I can say that the result is a reasonable model, of which one might wonder why it was executed in paper. Or it must be the speed of working one would never manage if building in wood: Building the hull took me less than a month, which would have taken three times as much if it would have been wood. And I did lose a lot of time searching for the right materials.
So next in line will be a Dutch fluit after a drawing Nicolaes Witsen made in his 1671 book about shipbuilding in Holland.
Hope to see you there again...
