Thank you Mark, Kev, orca, poppeye, Nils and robin! " Just replace him." ... and rip him to shreds ;-) "Will you ever get to the next deck I wonder." I wonder too ... "Is this the new year new destruction plan" YES, and this is part of the ten years plan! “would there be sailors tending the capstan while this is going on?" ... jut a little TLC to keep things moving ... "there`s real life action on your decks,." ... and you should smell them ... ... argx ! " there have I over done the soft soap no I dont think so" *blowing bubbles away* ... I*blubb* am *bluppa* fine Very appreciated! also the likes!!! XXXDAn -
The messenger still moves backwards and changes direction on those solid stanchions ... ... towards the capstan ... ... and the strain of the pulling already worked the messenger up the drum. Behind the capstan 3 gents are pulling the rope clear ... ... in that area I placed two more stanchions as they are out of the way and on the rest of the track ... ... some other gents make sure that the messenger is moving swiftly forwards again. Cheers, Daniel

That´s why Ms. Cyrus inspired me ... ... using the wrecking ball and ... ... even though fully dressed taking carefully out the components in question. Luckily the nippers were fixed the right way and ... ... could get off easily. Just call me a smart Nipper :-) The original build was shown in details, so we have only a fast tour of the changes The lashing of the messenger ... ... the rolls to guide the messenger around the bows and the guy with the hose to water the incoming anchor cable and the boys to clewan it with a brush. The bosums mate surveys those 4 gents nipping the two cables ... überwacht diese vier Herren beim Befestigen der Nippers, der Taustücke, welche Kabelaar und Ankerkabel zusammenhalten ... ... while these man escort the cables backwards ... ... and those to open the nippers for the anchor cable to disappear in the hold. I gave a bit more space to those gents by taking out the pillars in that area.

Naughty-naughty-messenger, naughty! When I first installed the messenger I was opting for the display in Portsmouth, showing a left handed rope as described by Nares for later periods. Now much time later, I have not yet found a source for this setup in the period around 1800. Here are the two cables to compare.

Oh yes the spech, Mark - still in the phase of having to peep away most of the expressions ... Do not worry Kev, all Tic Tacs are all doing well! So Jan, kudo now! XXXDAn

Easy ;-) As the stays lay over the shrouds, the shrouds come first ... ... but after the pendants! XXXDAn

Statement 1: dafi is torturing wood. For the first time I was bending watered wood with the soldering iron - fascinating for a stubborn plastinator how willingly even 3 x 3 mm battens take the right turn :-) And why this? Originally planned were 5 deck beams to hold the upper deck, but for some unknown reasons the number of deck beams became larger ... The other deck beams are forced into the curve by the stanchions, but if those are missing ? Statement 2: Holes that mean the world - at least to me ;-) As already seen midships, where the anchor cable is disappearing towards the hold ... ... one can nicely see ... ... how much ladders and stanchions are in the way if it is to work there. So using swift the jack ... ... and lift the deck beam - and with it all the upper decks - some inches or so, take out the ladders and stanchions ... ... and all that is left on the deck are some small holes and plenty of space to work. Now I too understood the short arms of the jack - it allows to go near the stanchions or even the hull. And as my new deck beams are already fitted with a nice curve, they stay nicely up as they should. Thinking about the color of the space underneath the stanchions, I believe that the wood in itself possibly stayed with a lighter color, but with all the muck from cleaning that went underneath I opted for a dark brown. So I prepared the taken out stanchions ... ... pimped them up ... ... and cluttered them together with the ladders behind the companionway. Looked pittoresk, but not really Bristol fashion, so I preferred the following solution :-) Question: How were the ladders - if in place - secured on the deck? Was there there chocks or wedges or something nailed to the planks? Cheers, Daniel PS: Do not worry on the first pictures, there is no fire in the hold. Just a small ball of wad is doing wonders against the unsought will of certain parts that strongly do believe that their future should be in the hold :-)

Nice build , enjoyable to follow :-) Only remark is the cluttering of the gratings ... If you still have the option to move the so called "items" somewhere else it would be beneficial for the lower decks, as the gratings provide fresh air and some daylight for the decks underneath. Also they were removed on a regular base to heave in and out and up and down the "items" as the steps were not practical to carry stuff. Cheers, Daniel

One good hint is that the poster personally can be made reliable for putting up pictures that suddenly get expensive. More easy to claim with a mostly german forum than an international one ... ... and it always will stay a hazard for the forum´s crew in especially the owner. Cheers, Daniel -

The same in Germany ... For our german forum we had unfortunately to hide half the building reports and especially the research section for that reason and only can grant access after registration - no remedy but a tiny bit of privacy that makes us less vulnurable. Also NMM requests to always to properly mention the source - as plenty of other sources do. But not just for them, it also makes our own work easier, if one knows where the stuff comes from for further research. Also often pictures from build logs from other forums are used without the source being told. Always unfair to the original maker! Cheers, Daniel http://www.segelschiffsmodellbau.com- 26 replies

And now, its Hammer Time! That is the result of well planned building activities. In the old days I fixed the standing knees without being able to level the upper edge, now that I can, the deck is quite clattered with other activities ... ... time to get out the heavy tools for some desperate measures. The blade laid over the now existing beams and with some persuasiveness of the hammer (or tweezers as they are smaller) split the knees to pieces. After the first trials I replaced the hammer with better dosed hand enforcement and it worked wonders. The bounty was rewarding. Almost no collateral damages, just some sailors looked a bit down, but they are already up to their feet again :-) Cheers, Daniel

On the way to new endeavours on the way to Victory ... d Lets see if it works :-) XXXDAn

Happy new year to you all! Finally managed to do something on my main build, slowly one step a day literally ;-) The biggest empty spaces on the lower deck are due to the missing companionways, so lets fill those gaps ... The ladders on the right should have the same upward orientation in the middle as the one on the left, but i buzzed it ... Was this to adapt to a possible list of the ship? Then comes the dry fit ... ... and one does see immediately ... ... why they were removable and could be off set without further trouble. The aft companionways show that even better ... ... big obstruction ... ... but set aside as fast as the the deck pillars :-) Cheers, Daniel

And again it shows, that it is not just etch that makes a good model. Frank shows impressively, that he is a master in his own right, bringing plastic, etch, rope and cloth to life! Magnificent job, congratulations, Daniel PS: Now I know what stays are for ;-) To hold the tweezers while setting the yards:-)

Turner Drawing: As all other drawings appear to have been done from a boat, and other drawings show vessels around, my interpretation is, that it is the stern and boom of another vessel. Livesay: I think he means towed, as this is mentioned somewhere else - I hope that the other one do not refere to Livesay ;-)
