Tom, due to the size and the required repetitive profile I would order the rail stanchions. I bought mine (brass) from Cornwall Model Boats in the UK but they have a $50.00 order min. I searched around to see what else was available on this side of the pond. I bet if you go through our approved vendor list and check for rail stanchions you'll find ample availability. What is the length you need? https://www.castyouranchorhobby.com/Category/stanchions_c https://www.historicships.com/product/walnut-stanchions-6mm/- 341 replies

Your Germania comes as close to perfect as any model i've had the pleasure to view. Keith, thank you for allowing us to journey with you on your build. I've enjoyed every post and have been inspired by all. Congratulations!

Scotty, Scotty. You missed a golden opportunity with SWMBO. You should have told her the holder required a special drill and it cost twenty bucks. "I'm sorry honey, I know I should have said something before I spent the twenty dollars but I was anxious to get the job done. Promise, it won't happen again" Going that route you'd be ahead $20.00 with the accounting department.

Tom, the ladder and door look great. I think another ladder is required not only for symmetry but mainly to replicate the orderly flow of foot traffic especially during the heat of battle. To my way of thinking it seems only commonsense that any elevation requiring a ladder to gain access would have been built in pairs, one for up and one for down.

Joggling planks

CH, this is video is of the Tally Ho getting her deck planks. Watching Leo and crew work on all aspects of rebuilding the Tally Ho is instructional. -
Really nice work, Eberhard. The jolly boat is a little beauty, I look forward seeing her in her slings aboard the Wespe.

Very well done DJ. It's been a pleasure looking over your shoulder as you restored the Malek Adhel to her former glory. Wishing you the best on your life journey.

Introducing myself and already seeking advice

LOL........it's never too late for a warm welcome. I totally missed the 5 year gap. Only two post, the last one May of 2021. I'm thinking this one got away. -

Timber-framed outdoor kitchen - Cathead - 1:1 scale
Keith Black replied to Cathead's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Eric, grape vines are nice and they provide fruit but they can get pretty aggressive. Bittersweet is a great vine that produces pretty flowers and provides berries for the birds in spring after they've had a chance to sugar over winter. -
Gary, awesome! In this photo the fifth wheel plate looks greased. Did you add the "grease" or did the part come that way?

Very nice, DJ. I do hope you've found the end result worth the time you've invested and are at peace with the effort.

At some point I hope you try to replicate the way the water looks, maybe not on this build but some future build because it does look absolutely amazing. You need to add a little plaque to the base that reads........."Stand Here"
-
This is a great Sib. I love the water treatment at the bow of the ship, it's awesome! it really gives it a sense of motion. The figureheads turned out really nice, the sail, oars and shields, everything is spot on, Glen. If you stopped right here, it's a treasure. I can't wait to see stage two.

Gus, welcome back.

Brian, your workspace is way too neat. Just joking, it's a really nice setup, I'm envious. Good to see pieces parts in the process. Thanks for the photos of the M/V Mississippi. Wow, they had/have great quarters. I see Marquette Transportation has openings, maybe I should do my wife a favor and apply. At this stage of my life I don't what use I'd be, maybe they have a boat's cat that needs taking care of? All kidding aside, I wish I'd been exposed to this lifestyle and opportunities 50 years ago but then....
