Did the bBul ever reach his destinatiion? Jan

You label it 'thr second ull', but counting, I come to the conclusion that it is at least number four.... How much is going on in your shop? Jan

The sailplan shown in the previous post is already an interpretation of the rig shown by Chapman. I checked my edition, and rhis is all there is regarding the sailplan/rig

Chapmans rigs for the small vessels are not always correct (too much sail) the square topsail looks too heavily rigged: normal Dutch habit (even on the larger yachts), was to have the topsail 'flying' without lifts on the yards, and without clewlines). I don't think gretel was a Dutch yacht: there are no leeboards. Compared to the ships inthis drawing, the square sail is too heavily rigged, and the gaf is set too high: as the stay is around the mast, the gaff should not be higher than the eye of the stay. apart from that, I should say that the rig is fairly standard for the time and the region.

Next few months? The last months your building speed was higher (or is Zara a super-super detailed kit?) Your torpedoboot came out very nice! Jan

I know what you're after, but I have a couple of things to do (work amongst others ), and a couple of models in variousstages of completion. there is a wooden Prins Willem, three paper ships (evertsen, de ruyter, v108), a small steam loco. I will not start this bird before I finish at least one of these models. The loco is not without a build-log, but that log is not at modelSHIPworld, but at a german forum ( die kartonmodellbauer: http://www.die-kartonmodellbauer.de/index.php?thread/9468-preussische-t13-pirling-1-55/). I will not start a log here (I think) Jan

Perhaps facebook is the preferred thing, but their facebookpage is quite dead. Last update a year ago. Jan

The crew has neglected her a bit ...... difficult to beleive that this ship, and that boring bit of plastic from post #13 are actually the same thing Jan

Sorry, for the time busy with something else ;) Jan

Nice little boat. Looks quite similar to the paper-kit V108. Are you going to spray an oil-canning pattern? Some of the pics show such an effect quite clearly. Would bring this little, slightly flat hull to life. Jan

At first I thought you slightly misaligned the rivets on the tender. so I checkedthe internet. Should have known: not Danny's idea, but misaligned by the original builders The model is as impressive as the original. I think you could stage the model insuch a way, that it will be difficult to see the differencebetween model and original: Low point of view, nice background. Jan

By the way, the standard way of doung this does not exist, but your way is one of the more widely used solutions jan

Stunning..... Jan
-
Ureading your log, I already spotted it in yesterdays pics. ah well, every model has a good and a better side. Jan
-
And will you be able to resist the urge to sit the remainder of the day next to your model: door open, door closed, door open and closed again? (I would not....) great fun reading your log! Jan
-
What a beautifull model! Outstanding work, and a really nice buildlog to follow. forgive me my last ignorant question, but what kind of medal is lying on the pedestal? Jan

Don’t overdo the colourdifferences. It is a small model, so you don’t want an overwhelming zebra-like effect Jan

Hanging and taping lines in loops until used
amateur replied to jgilchrist800's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Over here, there used to be very small wooden clothing pegs (actually intended to hang your chrismascards on a string). no glue whatsoever. I can't find a picture of them, only of minipegs that are ways larger (1 inch) than the ones I have ( .5 inch). Jan
