As always: incredible detail Daniel. It looks like it is ready for the BBQ crew.

Dafi,
The 14 September entry logs what is applied to / painted on the ship, the other earlier entries are the stores received by the ship, so they are not additive. But your question still remains given the disproportionate amounts.

Despite all this X-Mess-stress I found a small space for some advent tinkering 🙂
Started as usual in the smaller scale ...
... and then scratched the fitting Brodi-Stove for it by some scrap materials.
Then some trials ...
...for the BBQ-skewer holder and some brass nibbling ...
... bent ...
... and the skewer itself by filing a round brass into a pointed square section.
Some trials in soldering but finally it fitted :-).
The exhaust air propelled skewer drive was easy ...
... but fitting a 1 mm hole for the external axle bearing into a 1 mm brass profile needed the magical trick of flattening the material before drilling :-).
Then some handles and the handrail around and soon some paint could be applied.
I think I will go for a nice eloquent black 😉
Always remember: no food - no fight 🙂

Funny enough the organisators eliminated all references upon Heller and plastic from the model description.

Oh it did hurt to see her all alone in the back of the car going to a big trip. What happens if she was bored? Thirstty? Hungry? Or needs a p-brake???
And off it went for the journey, a 1000 km across France to Rochefort. Straight into ships paradise, together with another 150 models and proudly showing the flag ...
... of the german delegation together with the Amerigo from Joachim/Schiffebastler:-)
Later still came Chapman´s barge from Alexander / Foxtrott ...
... and the Sphinx from Alexander / Alex M. ...
... and me I was obsolet as the kids played all by themselves.
So I used the time ...
... to go and see her great-great-great-...-great niece ...
... together with the other german ship parents that did not have to bother for their small ones 🙂

For those also interested in Marine aviation, there was a nice report from the museum in Rochefort at modellmarine:

@Morgan
Thank you Gary, we are having a wonderful discussion about the Turner drawings in our german forum:
https://www.segelschiffsmodellbau.com/t7042f198-HMS-Victory-Spurensuche-6.html#msg155492
Perhaps this would be of great interest for you. I took the liberty to link to here too and take over some of your quotes. For stupid german la reasons one have to be inscribed to see the content, but we are usually very fast to grant access.
But another question arises: If 6 white to 1 yellow is the mixture, why all that yellow paint (almost twice the amount of white) ?
But the carpenter entry on the 14.09. fits well in the timeline as it summons the paint used before unmooring on the 13.09.
