A bit late, so running to catch up ... marvelous build, you are doing wonders -

That one you certainly didn't wing it, Mike. Very good looking specimen of a lower wing -
You can dilute the primer, and spray a few layers, if you think it to thickish. That's what I did with e.g. vallejo Turrets looking grand

nice selection Marcus. Wheel turned out rather good.

You like living on the edge ... So what happens after you've depleted your sick hours? It's an unknown system to us. We have no limitation on sickness, we get checked and a physician decides whether you get back to work or if the sickness period gets extended, and for what period, before you need to get back at the doc's office.

I wonder why ... I would expect the bands with such a big yacht ... maybe those have been left off after an overhaul ...

So life is in the way again ... or another build? How are you doing? Cheers

The only thing you need to take into account is that the handle can't be fixed on a round shaft, but at the scale you are working and the fact it won't be used, that doesn't matter. You have the side ways pivotting motion of steering, and the up and downwards motion to keep the scate flat on the ice, Pass a brass tube through the wood, trhough which you can pass a solid brass rod on which you solder the "claw" which holds the skate. You can make the bulbous shape either by adding solder, or by using multiple tubes one over the the other, soldering them together and file them into shape ... The brass bands to keep the backbone from splitting are a nice piece of work from this part of the build too, I might add. A bit like the " Young America's yards" from EdT ... a nice challenge

good to see you at the bench again. take care, watch out with that needle

Sorry to hear about the broken finger ... you shouldn't have given the finger, though You could try the simple things - are you a right hander (as we say)? little things like prepping for the next part of your build ... or get ready for that next build ... read yourself in etc. Hope your finger heals quickly
-
You did get value for money ... kept you busy for a while, you tried nearly every feasible option, you got more airbrush training, and you know what decals to select when in doubt ... On top of that, a very good result in the end. The only remaining question: Is it what you intended, knowing full well your attitude towards your expected perfection ...

Good save, and lucky you got the one which is covered. Stange they didn't have 4 hawse holes though
-
How utterly painful ... it does carry truth though. A lot of digital media has been changed and old ones can no longer be accessed because of e.g. missing hardware ........

Marcus, Maybe one of the Maritime musea in Holland (Amsterdam, Rotterdam) might have more information on her, even Germany, as she is both a sweet and salt water sail(st?)er
-
You are having your running shoes on, Marcus. Glad to be driving so I can catch up I must be the last of the Dutch community to hop on ... Two builds none the less ... an interesting vessel, and it's odd to see the book published in the US whilst the authors are both Dutch ...

Thank you, druxey This will not be known to many, but not all mills use cloth on all sails, some use wood instead. I know the one in Voorst on the Enkweg has it and the one in Klarenbeek, Molenweg - both near to where I live. Two other mills, just 6 miles further, which are almost identical, do not. It is not as one might expect period or region dependent. A clear view of the construction: an example of a mill's body prepared for thatch ( © unknown )

I would think by using a mold, so it can dry in the propper shape P.s. Any native English speaker: I thought it's the sails of the mill, not the vaines ... please correcty me if I'm wrong
