Hello Tappi,

a nice addition in your memorial corner! I love the oldfashioned things like furniture from the 20ties ... little bit art nouveau?!

With lovely greetings

Indeed, and your artistic abilities are clear in this build! Just remind me to beware if we should ever meet on the seaway at night...

Looking forward to seeing further builds of this nature...would be a shame not to use those six teak plates in making more of these beautiful models....

Cheers!
Jim

@Wilfried: Not sure about the style of the but from late 20's anyway. Belonged previously to my grandparents.

Little bitty thing!
Even though you aren't perfectly satisfied with it, it is an attractive little model.
