    Hello Harshil, as always very good work! The last picture shows the ladder ending upwards towards the grating as it is shown in the instructions. Regarding this detail, I thought by myself that this would have meant that every man going down or coming up the ladder had to step - or run in case of haste - over the grating. What when the grating was put aside for any reason? So I decided to glue the ladder showing forward instead of aft. Perhaps I am totally wrong..... Greetings Werner

    Hello Jeff, looking at the moulding strips above the foremost gun port I am wondering why the run of the moulding strips does not match the run of the planks. Is that intended?

    Thank you very much!

    Hallo Jeff, sorry, it seemed to me that the caprails were already glued to the waist pieces....I was wrong. As another builder of the Confederacy I will furtheron follow your build log with interest.... Best regards Werner
  27. wernerweiss
    Generally, imo it is much too early for details like the moulding strips......I would rather FINISH the planking first - hull, inner bulwarks and the decks. Details like the moulding strips (together with the channels) come much later.......
  28. wernerweiss
    Hello Jeff, whenever I can help you.... what I want to say is that the upper molding strip runs just 1/16" lower than you glued it, so that it sits on the outer edge of the lasercut caprail, see picture...
  29. wernerweiss
    I had a look in the instructions.....yes, the caprails along the waist are not glued before the planking of the inner bulwarks is finished. Concerning the moulding strips I chose a different sequence and glued the moulding strips together with the channels, thus avoiding removing them where the channels are placed.

    Hello Jeff, Sorry, but it seems to me that the upper moulding strip coming from aft ends ABOVE the level of the caprail, and why did´nt you glue the caprail in the waist first? So you had to interrupt the run of the moulding strip.... Greetings Werner
  31. wernerweiss
    Hello Jeff, Congratulations for your choice! I also built the Confederacy and stained/painted the complete model except the decks which were only sanded. Greetings Werner

    Hi, it would have been easier to taper the upper fore edge of the stem lying flat on the table - before glueing - to fit the figurehead..... Greetings Werner
  33. wernerweiss
    Hello Bug, thank you very much for your appreciation, and if there will be a build log of your next Confederacy, I will follow with big interest! Werner

    Hi modelers, Meanwhile I took a series of pictures of the finished model, and I just loaded them up into the gallery of finished models. Any remarks, questions and constructive criticism welcome. Thanks to all co-builders of this model who gave me inspiration by following their build logs. Greetings Werner

    Thank you very much!!

    Hi folks, what a birthday present! Just yesterday on my 67th birthday I got my Confederacy FINISHED...... The pictures of the anchor were the last I took from the unfinished model, and in the last days before yesterday there were only some steps left......mounting the rudder, the ship´s boats, the waist rails, the mast stumps, the quarterdeck railings and finally the figurehead as the very last part to be glued in place. Yesterday, the only remaining work was to make some paint touch-ups on the stern decoration figures and the figurehead. What I also meanwhile did was to build the showcase. In the moment I cannot say when I will take the photos for the finished models gallery, but I let you know when it´s done. At least here two pictures as a first impression.... The next model I´m going to build is an AIDA cruiser ship from Revell which was a christmas present from my sons meanwhile a few years ago..... Always happy modelling..... Greetings Werner
