amateur got a reaction from Piet in Pelikaan 1999 by kees de mol - FINISHED - scale 1/75 - Dutch Beamtrawler
You're ageing very fast Crackers! (two days ago you looked quite young, although a bit tired)
Perhaps you should see your GP....

Hello Kees,
Can you give some details on that tool you have attached to your table.
It looks like a very usefull one for making windows.
Did you buy t, or is it completely selfmaed?

amateur got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Surabaya by Piet - 1/80 - Mid 17th-Century VOC ship
Hi PIet,
As alsways, different people different opinions.
I woud say: paint, but not green.... You'll have to paint the caprails.
With repsect to the gallion: the upper rail is often combination of black and red, the lower ons are just a background for the more colourfull carving work

The jeers are the two ropes from the blocks nextto the parrels to the underside of the top.

In stead of making theframes higer, you could also consider making the recesses inwhich thegratings rest slightly deeper. I think that willlookbetter.

amateur got a reaction from GuntherMT in attaching yard to masts
Hi Gunter,
I discovered in my own build (corel, prins willem scale 1:100) that dor the topgallants some cheating was necessary: the yards are not heavy enough to keep thme in their places without some help. For the main yards, everything just hangs fine by its own weight.
@jparsley: next time you should consider making your mastwoolings from rope, or a strip of paper when the original had iron woolings. These brass rings donotlook completely right..

I remarked in a parallel thread on these gratings that heynare the wrong side up: the flat side is the inderside, the upper side is not flat.
If I remember correctly, Chris used these gratings as he was trying to get something in scale thickness. The lower decks are completely fitted out, and the deckopenings are the only real see- through option. Therefore in his own pics, the gratings are next to the openings. However, scale thickness required something slightly under a milimeter. Too thin to have them in wood. (Atleast, mass produced in a kit)
