Patrick, comme toujours un très bon travail. !!

 

Je ne sais pas si votre deuxième langue, après le néerlandais est le français - je suis né en France donc c'était ma première ....

 Je pratique juste haha - J'ai aussi vécu au Mexique quand j'étais adolescent, j'ai épousé un Brésilien donc juste par «chance» pas par intelligence, je peux parler quatre langue hmmmm

Many Europeans speak three - two are very common indeed.

Thanks for this nice French text. Great that you speak four languages (always handy)
I once learned French as a second language at school.
Some German during my military service in Germany
And some English in between.

"Aeropiccola" is a famous Italian publishing house, unfortunately, like many it has long since gone bankrupt (I have files in pdf)
congratulations for the work, really nice!

Looks they had interesting models.
Too bad the company no longer exists. You can apparently still contact them according to the website 

http://www.aeropiccola.com/index_eng.html

In the meantime, the second mast top is finally ready. Now continue with the top part of the main and fore mast.

And now we make a "ezelshoofd"  (donkey head in Englisch )  What does a donkey have in common with a mast part?

Thanks for following

Nice work on the cannon(s).

Great work Luponero

Till next week!

Do we really have to wait another week 

And for general information about your model it is best to look in other logs

You can find it in this topic

And there is a pdf with links to the models.

Nice model Dan.

Everything you need to know about planking

A beautiful model.  

 Congratulations on all those self-cut figures

A beautiful model   with many details and full of life
 Congratulations on all those self-cut figures 👍

Nice models

Thanks popeye

this "trick" is not on my instructions.
apparently they discovered this error at ace and later adjusted the instructions 

A great build log

Welkom to MSW

Hello,

The "radio car" is now ready for painting. The "AA car almost.  

Time to build the AA unit (Looks easy)

This should be the base plate on the floor in the car...

The base plate dry fitted in the car. These kits keep surprising me 🙈🙊

First do some research about this
The base plate may not have been mounted directly to the floor. Or the plate is too big in diameter.

Thanks for comments, following and likes

the dreaded sprue injection points

Unfortunately, these are necessary in a mold (a little bit smaller would have been more handy )

progress :

Seats

The hood
Adjusted a bit with plastic strip and tissue paper (the tissue is glued with CA)

The radio and battery could also use some extra's

Hello,

With the main mast top ready and a smaller fore mast top under construction, it is time to think about the main and fore topmasts.

In many drawings the top mast and flagpole are in one piece. A simplification of the 16th century painters or was this reality.

 (In one piece : about 15    Seperately : 1  )

Masts in this period could not be dismantled. 
The different parts of the mast were firmly attached to each other How? not a clue yet ...

Mast tops

Making top masts on my home-made lathe.  To my surprise it worked out quite well.

Determine the length
The masts in the Aeropiccola drawings are quite correct in length.

The length of my top masts are long enough to use both methods. Top mast flagpole separately or in one piece ( not yet decided what methode).

To be continued, thanks for following.

Hello,
