  1. Hi Mates, Next part to make was the rail above the counter. Productionsteps: cut out by saw, profiling by a millingmachine and finishing by files and carving tools The complete rail. The little pedestals at portside and starboard will be the bases for the decoration elements of the stern. First painting of the rail. Cheers Angarfather
  2. Many thanks, guys! In the next two month there will be time enough for modeling the Utrecht. Next steps will be the finishing of the rail, making the sky lines, the capstan and all the other parts. And after that I will try to carve the decorations. Cheers Angarfather
  3. Hello again, during the last 3 month there was no time for modeling. Some most interesting jobs, Christmastime and so on. But now I am back in the dockyard. Next steps had been modelling the window frames of the Pavillon and to finish the pavillions front. Cheers Angarfather
  4. Hello Paul Carruthers, god luck with your build and enjoy it. Some years ago I also have modeled this kit. And I must say that it had been a long and very good time to model Pegasus. And if there are question in details its best to look into blue ensigns build log. It's absolutely perfect. Cheers Angarfather
  5. Hello Nils! what a forest of vents on the boatsdeck!!!! In my office there is an old, photo of the "Kaiser". A very heroic picture of the "proud of the merchant navy". But without such inconsistencys like vents. Very impressive work!! Cheers Hartmut

  7. It had been a wonderfull sommer. Two journeys to Danmark, two most interesting jobs and last but not least the birth of my seventh grandchild, Richard. Therefore there was no time left for modeling. That was already o k. But now its time for working on. The windows of the pavillons frontwall. I have made it from quadrangular brass, and glued it with cyan acryl. To instal the windowpins ( 1mm brass wire) I have drilled in 1mm holes into the frames. the bay windows of the side walls. The woodwork ( pearwood ) This frames are made from square tube (1,5 x 1,5mm)brass Cheers Angarvater
  8. To make the front wall of the pavillon was very fiddly. At first I have made some decorations for the pillars. Next were some test pieces for the infills. After some more training in makeing this parts this is the way I will make them all. But now it's closing time in the dockyard for the next two weeks. Holidays in Danmark! Cheerio Hartmut
