I try to find some sources to compare with my Berlin... -
Maybe at the 100% original size, the cannons, the figurehead etc of WVH are 10% bigger than Berlin's. 1/40 of Berlin matches 1/50 of WVH (?!) To scale up to 1/40 is a solution but there will be a lot of carving problems, I am not a sculptor. That will be an endless and fruitless pain for me. It could be better to overcome my obsession...

Hi Chris, I have asked the scale problem to Corel ( info@corel-srl.it ). Here is the answer: "The right scale is 1/50. Sorry, there is a mistake on the leaflet!!" Very interesting situation... A product of a model manifacturer (modelling is based absolutely on the scale) is still being sold with a basic error... I will probably give up building WVH in future. My current build is Berlin with 1/40 scale. One of the reason of choosing WVH was that the two ships have the same ratio ( this is my obsession but... )...

Hi Michael, That is beautiful. I like especially the drains. As I see from pictures, are they for the lower deck? By the reason of being out of sight, is there no need to pass through, to end with an orifice inside of the hull?
-
Thank you for nice words from the other universe... Every time I receive your comment I check your build HMS Leopard for any update with curiosity...
-
A slot 3 times wider than a rope seems inaccurate to me...
-
Looks great your scratch Brian, Which diameter has the rope passing through?
-
Many thanks hamilton, I had thought that it could be good to take a photo of the whole thing after three masts in their place...
-
Thank you Sjors, for your very kind words as always... Ropes are kit supply, nothing special
-
Thank you Michael for your kindness... Yes, I use G-S Hypo in all rigging works, especially in spirals (I don't know the correct word).
-
Thank you Jason... The secret that my work seems to be good, is that you don't start rigging yet... (I follow all stages of your impressive build)

It's a honor for me, the support of the spider whisperer (from Buck)
-
Looks great Sjors. Are there cannon balls on the handrails?
-
Thank you Matti, every day I am learning...
-
What impress me in a model ship are transom and detailed cannon work... I envy you the work you have shown to simulate cannons...

Looks Great Matti... Please let me know what was the aim of the message port in real life.

Hi Hamilton, "Since the last update I've made only a little bit of progress" Do you say about this update a little bit?! A big and nice progress...
-
It was just a humor J.Pett, don't take me seriously... Me too, I move two steps forward, one step backward...
-
Thank you Nigel for your kindness...
-
Ahoy J.Pett, You could build two Rattlesnakes in the same period... Doing, undoing, redoing... You can even save the time of undoing... I envy you the patience and the determination you have...
-
No no Sjors!... I want molding metal mini cannon balls...
-
Get well soon Matti... Don't undervalue pneumonia... You must take care of yourself...
-
All parts are beeing incorporated into a very splendid build... I take my hat off...
