The essentials are in place minus the masts and boats. The skylights gave me some headache as I wanted to add some extra- fine details to come close to the model at Munich Museum. But I am not sure if it was worth the trouble and extra spending on the etch parts. Anyway - the deck fittings look nice. Some minor details are still to be build: gangways, stairs to the raised platform bridge/machine, the aft railing etc. At the moment I am experimenting with the masts and sails made of silk. The typical furl of the spar is a challenge. Fernando suggested four boats like in the GA plan, but the only pic of Frisia suggests a later change to additional boats which I want to follow.
