As I wrote last time, the 'normal sized parts are done.... The stanchions for the deck: the lights (other side is red :)) skylight... all put together, and as usual, the naked eye (at least, mine) is more content with real life than with the pics. My admiration for orher card modellers goes up by the minute and now for some small fun: and put together, it looks rather OK Tonight I'll try the other side of the ship (same parts, nothing new...)

Does Martanek still build his models? He used to post in MSW, but has gone elsewhere..... Jan

Boeiers are almost never converted to housing. Too small for that, and their price as sailing yacht issimply higher than as converted ship. Quite a lot of them survived, as this type of boeier is relatively new, and they are still build (both wood, oak, or sometimes in steel). As they never were working boats, theyhave been cared for, and have a relatively long life span. I like your model, it has the right atmosphere. Jan

Wow..... just a question: was the dazzle also applied to the deckhousing between decks, or just to the hull? Jan

Hi Kevin, he only takes three days to tell us that he went to an exhibition...... Dafi just likes a bit of drama. Jan

My wooden builds are gathering dust today I did some small stuff. The larger building blocks are done, detailing does cost a bit more time. The first parts for the firecontrol (or whatever, used for the anti aircraft guns) second thought: no tabs (There is an error here, but I am not inclined to correct it ) the aircraft platform: (with some weight to keep it in pl-ace while the glue sets) two skylight. Looks OK from this distance, but don' go anywhere near And finally: the last page that wasn't used till now. these are the gun-towers. Lots of tabs (needed this time), and a rather complex way glued rings to get the towers movable) you get the point of the ship being undergunned when looking at these towers: this is all there is with respect to guns.

And this is what Adrie means for the Zwarte Zee: rather fiddly stuff in there. the main parts page for the zwarte zee (1:250, grey version). The ruler is 30 centimeters long. Jan

No, starting twice is not what I want to do. I'll check to see what can be used, and do not use the remainder. I do not quite lije this type of laser cut, the HMV version, far more fragile, looks better. Jan
-
I had the camouflage in my hands today. That one is compeltely redesigned compared to the grey one: other parts (more, actually), and other constructions. Iguess the issues with the camouflage version are others than with the grey version. with respect to the railings: I have the laser cut set, but that one is made for the camouflage version, so the numbering is a bit of a puzzle.....

Today, I made a serious mistake..... I went to see a model exhibition. (No pics, forgot the camera) they had also some sales over there. In my current building speed this will get me almost till my retirement Jan

OK. I understand. Uploading on a number of sites is rather time-inefficient. Jan

Nice progress! btw: why don't you upload your pics at MSW? Embedded pics makes reading your log so much easier...... Jan

Hi Ed, can I ask a question on the stays? they seem to have a spliced eye at the masthead, but thay are also fixed at the lower end. How did they set up these stays, is such a way that there is enough tension? Jan
