My next project wil be the Dutch aircraft carrier Hr. Ms. Karel Doorman (R81)
I wil build this ship for a friend who sailed on it.

The book, in the book are 2 ships, Karel Doorman and Drenthe

I also ordered the expansion set with small lasercut parts.

First the staples removed from the book,

The leaves are all cut and sorted by Karel Doorman and Drenthe:

Drenthe I put away and put everything ready for the Karel Doorman, the table:

And the construction table:
