POTM For 2021 November - Dutch Fluit (Scratch 1:77) by Abhovi
Hello Members:
The selection for “November Picture Of The Month” is from the “Ships & Watercraft” category. It is “A 17th century Dutch Fluit 1:77 scale”, scratch built by Ab Hoving (Abhovi). His build thread is a pleasure to read, and it contains his history and research about this and other vessels. Also, Ab provides instruction to sail ship builders about his methods and techniques.

You can see more of this build here:

Outstanding choice. I'm glad to see Abhovi recognized for this outstanding model. He has certainly contributed a lot to this forum, to paper modeling, and to maritime history over the years.
