Nice! something quite different from the usual square block of wood with holes, or the star-like candleholders. Btw, the 'altartable' in the background, is that the table from your initial sketch we shouldn't mind? Jan

Suggestion ral 2002 and 5012 would be close, i guess. Don't be temted touse the orange for the upper band, that woulb be incorrect...

You might consider toning down both the red and the blue. Especially the blue looks too dark to me (at leat on my ipad) With respect to the red: modern flags are darker than the historic ones. That also suggests a lighter colour (otherwise you refer quite to the modern flags) Jan

Yes, PvA doesn't hold too well on synthetic material. Jan

Silly question.... Did you only stain the keel on one side, post the pictures in non-chronological order or are you building more than one of these ships ? Jan

When you look for the picture itself, it shows up at many russian forums, it is (as far as google translates correctly) a yacht of the Tsar, around 1865. Jan

That's a nice one! On this picture it actually looks as if the 'uncomprehensible detail' under the boat is the place for the topmast shroud Jan
-
One of those thi gs is below rhe boat, that would make topmast shroud a bit unlikely..... What type of rigging does this ship have? Two masted fore and aft? Jan

Can I hit the like-button twice, to tell you I really, really like the stern-carving? Version 2 does indeed look great! Jan

Hi Piet, They look great: one question to spoil the fun: when the lanyard is run through the knecht, does it touch the hats, or not? (If it does, we need a MK-IV of the carving.....) Jan

Rigging tools how are they used
amateur replied to Telp's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
HI Nick, at what scale do you work? In my Prins Willem (Corel 1:100), these thigs tend to be on the large side (their length is OK to reach, but they tend to get caught by the other rigging. A long hooked tweezer does the work better in my opinion. I also use a needle threader to get those lines through the blocks. doesn't cost anything, but is a great help. Jan -

I have those. Apart fromthe hook, i havent used any of the ends. Buy yourself a couple of high quality pliers, I use those far more often. Jan -
We like good news! Jan

Now I come to think of it: isn't strange that it's equally crowded on both windward and lee side? Jan
