Ja Ja - these dependencies between the different working steps
but in the meantime you are doing a wonderful job with the stem -> looking great

The before …… before ….. before ….. indicates that you have a plan. That’s good to hear, Herman. And your carvings are really good looking!Thank you all for the positive comments and likes.
My focus on the build is becoming a bit fragmented. Before attaching the stem I want to make the wales to be able to adjust the stem to the protruding wales. Before attaching the wales I want to have the gunport lids ready so that they can be sanded flush with the hull. It might also be wise to nail the hull (still gathering courage for that part of the build) before attaching the wales for ease of sanding. And before finishing the hull (probably shellac) further reinforcements for the hull (the protection against damage by the anchors / anchor-cable) and the rests will be made.
In the meantime I did some further carving for the stem.

Thank you Jim.Now I know the advantage of being on another side of the world- the next day starts earlier than here in the USA. All the positive comments are already used, dah...
I'd like your methodical approach to building models. It seems that you staged and followed those steps to achieve great results! The carvings are nicely fitted. Great job, mon ami!
Thank you Peter.That are beautifull carvings Herman
