Sometimes, yes sometimes I love my employees ... ... they were meant to buy new tea for the office - guess what brand they brought especially for me :-) ...hihihihihihi... XXXDAn

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

Let me tell you a story ... ... it started with a funny idea ... ... we should meet again ... ... oh yes sure ... ... where? Augsburg would be a nice place, its in the middle of everybody from the south of Germany, half way between Munich and Ulm. Let´s take March, the 8th, good with the holidays. "Who´s gonna come?" Me-me-me-me ... ... oh, nice, we won´t be alone ... ...-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me... ... great the place will be full ... ...-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-perhaps-me-me-me-me-me-me... ... slight worries about the size of the venue are appearing ... ...-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me-me... ... so until now there are 57 (fifty seven) confirmations plus 1 perhaps !!! So by tomorrow Lunchtime we will meet for our "small" gathering: https://www.google.de/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=m9YW...rtshaus+am+lech Do not know yet how to fit everybody plus the models. Models?!?

"I don't trust my skills to make new ladder sides with the grooves cut in properly," I do not believe you until you proved me wrong! Just try it - what is there to loose? A tiny bit of wood. Or two? Or three - YES you can do it. Cheers, Daniel

Thank you Sirs, very appreciated @amateur No Jan, not yet ;-) Surprisingly, the lantern basically came out of the box, only the arm/holder were replaced by some of my etch parts. Only transformation was the little door, but this was only tree strokes with the file to get rid of the glazing bars and three tiny bits of sprue for hinges and lock. XXXDAn
-
I love this little lantern ... ... it enlightens me ... ... makes me dream ... ... makes me feel good ... ... at least midshipman Mr. Westphal seems to be happy and content ... XXXDAn
-
Just caught up - amazing as always :-) XXXDAn

Thank you guys :-) I just realised the different depth of the steps accidentally after looking at the pictures of the V. in P. a one-million-seven-hundret-twenty-five-thousend-eight-hundert-and-twenty-three times ... When I then - with the eye being aware by this - found the same disposition on a contemporary model it was clear: I WANT THAT!!! ;-) Cheers, Daniel
