some 16 allen head nuts(?) on the underside

Difficult question   All my military models are on a base plate, so I pay little attention to the underside

Photos of the underside of a panzer IV (and most other tanks) are quite rare. The only hope is to find a picture of a damaged tank (upside down).
Nothing found yet

Nice model, congrats.

I also follow along.

If there are any questions about the IV. Just ask 😉

Thanks for comments and likes 👍.

Of course anyone is free to use this method. But as already mentioned correct or not? Who knows.

A happy doe on a nice model 👍

Nice work

Coincidence? Before she was baptized Golden Hind she named Pelican  😉

Those sails look very good, Patrick. And yes, "hem" is the correct term in English.

I get English lessons for free on this forum 😉👍

Patrick,

 

Just catching up - super nice work with the sails and repairing that classic Singer 🏆 lol

 

Regards,

Thanks.

Bringing this machine back to working condition gave me great satisfaction

All sails are stitched and sewn. 

Now the bonnets are tied. I probably misunderstood the drawings and all this knotwork is not historically correct.
But it looks neat (to me). And there's a logic to it
The bonnet is very quick and easy to remove. Just loosen the rope on the left side and pull . All the rope come loose and the bonnet falls off the sail.

Drawing/result

method :

Make holes

"sewing"

Sewing an "eye" to both the sides of the sail.

tie up (both sides)

front and back

All sailes (except the spritsail)

Made cleats (D18 / 2)

Cleats glued on the yards.

Thanks for following, likes and comments

Will be nice to folow this

Very neat work Steven.

A nice pirate . 

Congrats 

See you and the 170V back soon.

Ps

Here's Belgian beer, wine and cheese.

  Patrick, I have experimented with pencil and it is still an option but the dots tend to be too large for my taste. 

Indeed,

My dots are for scale 1/45.
The hardness and sharpness of the pencilpoint are indeed very important.
(I used up a lot of pencils...)

Nice work Steven.

Somewhere in Norway while on vacation (I don't know where exactly).
2 dark colored replicas (vikings). The nails are only slightly visible on the outside and on the inside.

Another one

Have you ever thought of making a small dot with a pencil?

Welcome back 👍

Great work, so much better than the kit model .

Nice work, Patrick. A masterpiece is in the making.

 

Our holidays began end of August. Just came back from a little city trip to Antwerp. Always recomendable !

Went to "Modelbouw Baliën "- nearby Borgerhout and I felt like Alice in Wonderland. 

How scarce such shops have become.

Thanks Christian,

Antwerp is indeed a nice city.

Actually there are 2 model shops in Antwerp. I have the luxury of having both of them "close by".
Problems are the traffic jams around Antwerp. If you want to go to the other bank of the Scheldt, a few hours delay is no exception

In the meantime, stitching and sewing continues. With a new mizzen sail (messed up the first one)

OC.

This could be the battery  (I cut mine in half especially for this picture 😉)

Welcome to MSW. 

Indeed, nice work.
