Ja Ja - these dependencies between the different working steps

The before …… before ….. before ….. indicates that you have a plan. That’s good to hear, Herman. And your carvings are really good looking!

Ja, it is no longer straightforward planking the hull any more. I like finishing one part before starting the next, but that strategy is no longer sustainable. Even the false keel is waiting to be attached after the stempost is in place. It is like putting together a kit later to be assembled.

There is a general plan I try to hold on to, but the many components of that plan are regularly adjusted because of what Uwe so eloquently described as the dependencies of the working steps. And of course my little learning experiences with wood carving.
Thank you Stephan.
I first wondered if it would look fine as the carving on the replica is totally different, but on the Van de Velde drawings the actual carvings are barely distinguishable so I held on to the drawings of Otte Blom. I might further refine it a bit before attaching it to the model, but in general I am happy with the outcome.
Ah yes, another fine addition. As I said before - each stage of the build reveals another talent.
I too find myself floating back and forth between sub-constructions. Sometimes it is planned ahead of time - others are stumbled across. Not to belabor the point - but recently I have been building a lower deck - but there are vertical elements (bitts and pump tubes) that pass by or through the lower deck - and then those elements also need to relate to something on the upper deck. So in the middle of fabricating knees for the lower deck I am making upper deck beams. All this to say we need to remain vigilant...and flexible to recover from the inevitable misstep...

Thank you Mirek.
I really enjoy the carving work.
Thank you Paul.
You could not be more correct.
Good afternoon Herman. The sum of the parts of your stem is wonderful. Lovely carving it fits so well into the stem. Cheers Grant
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 Grant.
I think the expression the whole is more than the sum of its parts is applicable here. With that in mind I am looking forward to the moment I can attach the wales and stem to the hull.
Thank you Jim.
On the other hand we have to stay up late to receive the updates from your side of the world
That are beautifull carvings Herman
Thank you Peter.
