Hi Andy, Looks really nice and great as you know, you too... Just curiosity... Why do you prefer to build top masts after fixing the lowers into the deck? Is this more easier or is there another reason? -
Could I want only one photo taken from just front to see two ornaments at the same time please?... Thanks Nigel...
-
Good decision on restorations at the dry dock... At open sea the crew will be in safe while bustling on-board without stumbling... Just a thought...
-
You are right about fixing some cleats, after the scale even a block of 2mm means 20 cm... Too big for the rope of a lid, I think... And I thought to fix the cleat (in my build it is a rounded pin (?)) aside the port opening, not at top middle to avoid the drooping rope obstruct the opening... That was my decision... It may be wrong...
-
Hi Randy, I think, maybe I am wrong, that for the rope of ratlines, more thinner it's more accurate and beautiful... I liked your choice... After a little scroll and pull to make them parallel to ground they will be more beautiful...
-
Master of ratlines... I almost begin to believe that you love to rig them although the work has been doubled... You will enjoy enough with your Mirage, with those all unnumbered ratlines... :-))) This will make you be very experienced gnome handler... BTW, your ratlines are strict, orderly and neat... With doubled number, it should be really inspiring...
-
I don't know the exact distance acceptable... As for me, maybe wrong but I had decided to rig the ratlines between 0,75 cm but the scale is 1:40. This means 30 cm. As Wayne mentioned, you should double the work... Sorry... And if you use a rope of 0,5 mm that means 3,75 cm. It's too thick I suppose...
-
Really great, Sjors... But, 1 cm is 75 cm on the original from the scale 1:75... Is this not too high, how can a crew climb up? I understood... You run away from the numbers... More distance, few ratlines...

Salute Commodore, I had seen it somewhere at the web, I have searched it again but I have failed... It had seemed to me different, intersting and beautiful... I am mentioning about a stand that holds a model ship... I don't know how to produce it but I try to describe it... In the display case there is a thin plane which simulates perfectly the sea with colors, agitations and waves... The model is into this thin plane which encloses the hull at the level of the water line... Above and below of this level there is nothing, only air... The model is held by this plane... It's possible to see all details of the hull being even below the plane, through the glass of the display case... My apologizes for the intervention and the long text but I wanted to share this idea...

And I hope that it may be helpful for what Mark had mentioned if I have understood correctly...
-
Nice details at this 1:100 scale...
-
Matti, I am thinking if I had made something wrong by not painting Berlin after every visit to your Wasan but not with Matti-red of course...
-
Hi Hamilton, Thank you for the nice boost... As for me, I do wait for your updates, with curiosity for your decision and result about hull ornaments on your HMS Blandford...
-
Many thanks Yambo, for nice comments... I was really thinking that you had left my Log... I was imagining that if your absence was not because of my style of building, it should be because of the spring-summer season, at Turunç, sun and sea, liveliness and ease ... It's so pleasant to receive now such kind opinion from you...
-
Quite symmetric with the starboard side... And fantastic... You are inspiring me to begin to try to make some carvings even if I will fail most likely...
-
Hi Kevin, I am interested in this serving machine. It looks of high quality. Could you give the link for the site?
-
Kevin, this is a brilliant investment... After a weighty period of webbing, rigging; as Victory is a hulking ship with countless ropes everywhere, your spiders will be full masters... If after those hard and painful time, they will overcome and survive, you can sell them, your master spiders, on e-bay at high prices...
-
I realized that I had missed your Mirage, Sjors... As you had mentioned at Randy's SF2 Log, it seems that you have very few (!) rigging affairs... Could you let me know what are the color and the material of the shroud ropes? They look shiny and light grey...
-
Thank you Sjors for the nice comment... Unfortunately I try to supervise only three, unqualified, daily fee spiders...
-
Many thanks, Nigel and Mark, your thoughts are much appreciated... Nigel and Mark, I can easily say, that comparing with my rigging, yours will not make you be happy but I'm sure you will be in rapture when that day comes... I know you and I am lucky to follow your Logs, it's a pleasure to behold, to contemplate, to learn...
-
This color, this contrast make me ruminate... Day dreams... Fantastic...
-
Hi Buck, Could you tell me; Where have you found this 1 penny, 13 inches (33 cm) in diameter?!... Nice detail again...
-
I really like your build Michael, your way to build, the naturalness, the aspect of a closer view of an original ship after five years of sailing Seven Seas... Now she is in the dry dock... For some reparations... Yesss!...
