Nice bling! Are you going to weather the copper a bit, in order to get a less shiny appearance, or are you just waiting for the elements do do their job? Jan

I have a question, not on your fantastic technique, but on the reality of gun-handling.... Quite often, you see ringbolts placed in the deck, and a tackle rigged (sometimes even two) to haul back the gun in order to sponge out and load. Seeing how far the gun has to be run backwards to get the sponge in the barrel, I was wondering: were should the ringbolts be placed to get the system working? Jan

Hello NBP, Question1: is it NBP we have to use, or do you have a name? Question2: which ship is KGV? Question 3: can you show us your KGV (in the water...) Jan -
An Aircraft carrier I presume....

1:100, that will result i a model of around 2.5 meters? Does that fit into you living? (btw I guess you have already bookmarked the 1:72 Scharnhorst here at MSW?) Jan -

You won't be finished by then Jan

The question is: would Nelson recognise this entry-port.... There is a nice model in NMM showing Victory as she was supposed to be n 1803 without the entry-ports.http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/66474.html There is alos a model that shows victory as she was supposed to be in 1805 sith entryports and even a platform outside the hull.... http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/66475.html The one without is assumed to be the contemporary model Jan

Ah well, now it's the question: minesweepers were build by the hundreds. Do you really want a name? Dokkum-class has 32, Alkmaar-class has 18, I guess yours has 10+ as well..... Jan
-
Minesweeping....yeah I already figured that one out Jan
-
btw the one in the foreground (woith the Dutch flag) is also a Dutch minesweeper, from the Alkmaar klasse But the one in the middle..... Jan
-
Hmmm.... the flag is the red herring. Dutch navy did not have this type of tuggies around. To the right are two Dutch minesweepers of the Dokkumklasse. However, in the middle..... The location is probably the Rijkswerf in Den helder... Your slightly uneven resize doesn;'t help either Jan
-
And remember: kits tend to 'underprovide'..... Jan
-
Something in common that is unique.... Quite a contradiction, isn't it ? There are loads of frigates painted around 1830..... Jan
-
Quite standard for the Italian companies....
-
"It's like a fly/Pegasus-kit on steroids." That would be my problem with it....I don't like steroids Jan
-
Wiki says that it is the flag of the Honourable East India Company after 1801. Quite a lot of checkered frigates over there.... Jan

No, it's not the way of planking itself taht put him off, it is that the form of the hull itself does not correpond to the form it should have (at least, according to Arjan). That requires substantial reshaping of the frames, which made him stop the build. I am with you on the point of starting implies at leastthe intention to carry through to the end. Although: there can be many reasons why a once started build does not continue. Lack of time, money, inspiration etc. can all be reason to stop and do not return for a while. Jan

It's Holmvik, yes. In the Netherlands better known under her current name 'Furie'. She was restored form an old and worn wood-tugging ship from the sweish waters into a Dutch seagoing tug, becasue of her role in a film on the topic. She is therefore still around as an example of the last Dutch steampowered seagoing tugs. Jan
