Hi Matti,
it did`nt leave my mind running idle......., just found an old hand written note...., the company is RIB, and is meanwhile an Web-onlineshop in Germany
http://www.rib-gmbh.de/epages/rib-gmbh.sf/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/rib-gmbh/Categories/MetallKlebebaender
The product`s name is now : Janus AF 427
Hoping this will be of use to you....

Hello Matti,
thanks for dropping in and thanks for your words.....
Relating to the used alum. tape, unfortunately I ca`nt find the brand name anymore, and its not printed on the roll. I remember (must be back in 2008 or so) when I made out a company per web search, they would`nt sell to end users, and it needed some persuading to purchase a roll of appr. minimum 50 meters in 100 mm width.
It had waxed paper back for peeling off and had a very good self adhering glue-film. The thickness without gluefilm is 0,125 mm, with gluefilm 0,2 mm.
At that time I was building my steamship "Heinrich Kayser", wich I wanted to fit out with "riveted" plating. I tried the technique on my "Bohuslän" steamschip with a smaller tooth-module for the ponce toothwheels. The result was very good, so also the riveted tallships got foil platings. The 50 meter roll is now slowly coming to the end but I never thought that it would last in minimum for 5 of my metal plated "riveted" ships. I was anxious that it would`nt last for the KWdG, but luckily it did.
Todays it should be possible more easy to make out a company per web research that produces or distributes an adequate foil, and that possibly also sells to end-users. I`m very sorry not being able to help you with the brand name, its been too long ago and unfortunately I did`nt save a copy of the purchase order
Matti I wish you a good and successful new year

Wonderful Nils. I am going to place my order for these immediately. From time to time it comes needs to build something that looks like made of metal with all the rivets and boltheads, so this is an answer to my prayers. Thanks a lot!

Hello Nils,
After having joined this wonderful community for a short while ago I have followed your extraordinary build very carefully. All superlatives have been said already many times and I fully agree with them.
However one question has not been answered before, which I have in mind, namely: Which brand of self adhering aluminum tape are you using for plating, and where are you purchasing that?
I remember already 50 years ago when building models of WW2 fighters we used to use aluminum foil with riveting made with small gears dismantled from old alarm clocks, but the foil didn't have this self adhering film. The foil was glued into aeroplane wings and hull with contact glue, but that was a messy and not always succesful method.
So your way to do this seems to be a superior procedure, and could be the way if I ever should need to copy a riveted surfaces at my builds.
At the same time I wish a very best New Year to you, your family and all the colleagues at the forum!

First of all, very merry and peaceful Christmas to everybody! Santa Claus has started his trip to all parts of the world from Korvatunturi in Finland where his workshop is situated. Don`t worry if it takes a little more time than normally, because we have no snow here in southern Finland: http://youtu.be/9LDtPR8xHNg
And again it is time for a short update. I started to make the deck structure. First the rudderhouse, helm, binnacle and skylight.
Material for rudderhouse is 1 mm birch plywood. Framing is cut from 0,6 mm veneer. Roof was made by scattering thin sand on the roof which was soaked with diluted glue. Then painted with Vallejo colours and weathered with Mig pigments.
Spokes for the helm were turned from dia. 1 mm birch dowel. Other parts are 1mm birch veneer and 0,3 mm brass sheet.
The binnacle stand was milled octagonal from birch dowel. Brass looking parts are resin and styrene. And finally the skylight is made of 1 mm veneer. The black metal bars are 0,25 mm insect needles.

Rudder house, helm, binnacle and skylight:

Hello Nils, Patrick, Wyzwyk, Michael and avsjerome2003 and thanks for your kind words. I am glad that you like my humble build.
#wyzwyg: I eat like a horse and sleep like a log, but not in the workshop. I think when you are retired and have nothing else than time, you will stay at the workshop longer than "normal" people. And because wife has her own hobbies, and doesn't have anything against, so why not.
Happy New Year to all of you. I hope Santa has brought you all necessary things to be used at the
workshop.

Hello,
Thanks again for all of you who have welcomed me into this forum and encouraged to start a build log about my present project.
As already mentioned at the introduction area, I am building a wooden ketch Clara May after David McGregor plans, which I obtained already about 14 years ago, but never really started to build it. Soon however I found out that the plans could have been better to show more details as they do, but I think that with help from the forum all questions can be solved.
The reason to choose this as my first wooden ship project was, that the hull & superstructure are simple enough for the first project, and that the outlooks of the ship was appealing to me.
I chose scratch building instead of a kit because I happen to have a rather well equipped workshop to be able to cut all my timbers by myself. And having scratch built already a couple of tanks and cars in 1/6 scale I was not afraid of the work which might be ahead.
And thirdly, when scratchbuilding you can freely select your materials and are not tied to the ones included into the kit, which are not always the best possible.
So here we are, in the beginning. The first pictures show the plans of the ship and some of the equipment which I have in my workshop.
To be continued...
