Finally managed to update the assembly instructions for the resin parts that I provide for the 1:100 Vic: #43 Cheers, DAniel -
One of the best suppliers for steel balls regarding price and quantity is this shop in Germany: http://www.kugel-winnie.de/epages/62136757.sf/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/62136757/Products/010101003 You get virtually every size that you need :-) Here you see 1000 pieces of round shot in 1mm, 1,2mm, 1,5mm und 2mm Cheers, Daniel

Wonderful pictures, thank you! "I asked the tour guide what these little holes represented. He said that the hull was copper plated. I pointed out that the Batavia was launched in 1629, and that copper plating was only invented in 1750. He said that he will discuss this with the curator. Anybody know what these holes may represent? They seem too regular to be due to marine life." Second wooden planking as food for the worms? XXXDAn

All the time :-) ... to understand the others and for me to be understood ... XXXDAn

Thank you Aussie, very appreciated :-) Hy Lawrence, it is a berry flavor, good for working! Aye Mark, finally one that understands, I think I should change the code book in the office - perhaps the official book of the Cat of nine Tails would work better. XXXDAn

I just found a first contemporary hint to this topic: In the book "Nicolas Pocock" from David Cordingly (Conways) there is an interesting remark on page 76. Topic is the painting "The Defense at the Battle of the First of June" and it reports about the historical facts behind: "Midshipman Dillon observed that, ´The lower deck was at times so completely filled with smoke that we could scarcely distinguish each other, and the guns were so heated that, when fired, they nearly kicked the upper deck beams`" As source is given: "Diary of William Dillon, midshipman in the Defense, Quoted in Warner, The Glorious First of June, p. 79" Looks to be from Warner, Oliver, The Glorious First of June, London 1961 So perhaps really more than only an invention of modern dramatisation? Cheers, Daniel

One can find models where the staysails are fastened all over the length of the stay. Model of "Royal George" from 1715 with its contemporary rigging http://www.universitaetssammlungen.de/modell/2 And here some french graphics showing the same big question: How was this done ?!? - getting the sail to the top and binding it, pulling up, binding, pulling, ... - or get some monkey up to do the job up there? There are some sketches showing sailors hanging in the middle of the stays (f.e. Souvereign of the Seas) - fake or stupid idea? - other ideas? Cheers, Daniel

That casting was not planned ... The letters where just fixed with clear varnish, that allows good positioning and leaves almost no trace. As I still opt for the 1920 Vic, I thought it could save me some work, as the figure head was already heavily overworked compared to oob. Cheers, Daniel

Thank you all :-) @Dubz The hooks next generation are already on the way, rest is in preparation :-) Cheers, DAniel
-
... only wanted to do a cast from the figure head ... ... but after taking down the form, I was wondering about the itzy-bitzy-teeny-weeny letters in the casting form ... ... ... ... grrrrrrr... XXXDAn

Stay cool and listen to Heep :-) XXXDAn

No, this is no broadside ... ... nor fire alarm ... ... only ... ... one of the easiest ways to prevent things falling inside of the ship. Cheap, easily placed, easily taken out without danger for paint or flimsy details :-) Cheers, Daniel

Cheers and thank you all for the feedback! More impressive than the models were of course the personalities behind - meeting plenty of the builders in person for the first time, after having been corresponding already for ages with them. @mtaylor If you need any help, please feel free to contact me :-) Cheers, Daniel
