You threw your son through the wall Luckily not the boats, that last one looks like the real deal. Well done!

You could make a mold to keep her from moving around, and have notches to attach rubber bands to ... or ridges for clamps (i.e. on the mold ) -
Glad you took it slowly ... It's hard to keep up with you mate. nice build though, even for a "quicky"

It looks like it is cut from a single piece of wood ... smashing job, Julie ... darn beauty

Hope your plumbing is better than that in my kitchen ... had to redo the lot. Take care and as Dennis wrote, wish you a quick recovery ...

She starts to look like a ship, Tim. Good to see you back at the bench. Hope the "new house" chores won't linger on to long ...

Piet, you are regressing into Dutch ... probably because you build to many Dutch vessels

With all the weathering, this lady looks like a tramp next to her hughe sister. She should be in dry dock for an overhaul ... Those guns look astonishing mate, I wouldn't be surprised if your eyes need a holiday after finishing those.

It seems he is sitting on it Dennis

Wood splits easily at that size, but you can use anyting you want, at least, if you can shape it to your requirements. Banyan's tutorial, yes it is a lot of work, but it is the way most modellers do it. Saw a build log from a Polish chap on the net whom did it the same way, although he used some kind of putty for the mouse (might have scared the cat away ) O golly, you didn't blow up your ship Yesterday ...!?

Hello Thomas, I've been an irregular follower,or should I say lurker You really have some smashing detailed deck furniture on your build. Wonderful work. Cheers -
Wunderbar, impressive, you have done your build proud. Very clear, adn crisp details, alse in the weathering.

Nils, You sell yourself short. I am convinced you can build the Requin with the plans from ANCRE. However, you should build what you like, as it remains a hobby, and should be, although challenging, fun to do. I look forward to your new build log

Nils, In a way it is a pitty to see this build come to an end. I have throroughly enjoyed it. Another master piece in your growing collection. I hope your next build will be as challenging for you and educational for us. Thanks for sharing! Cheers

Sam, Rats ... the stay, it depends on where and by whom the rigging was done. If you've got her rigging plan, it is quickly solved, else it might as well be: Take your pick. The mouse ... why do you need a mouse with all those rats? ... I wouldn't use wood for the mouse but some sort of epoxy/plastic. Paint it black, and after weaving it onto the stay, you won't see the material it is made from anyway. Pat (Banyan) has a nice tutorial on weaving it, but I presume you already know. She does look nice without all the clutter Cheers

Thanks, John, but that is when the port turns counter clockwise and the other side clockwise. What I meant, is it standard that the shafts turn for the port counter, and starboard clockwise?

It would depend on the rotation direction I presume ... that is a standard too for port/starboard?

You really got the hang of that pointilism, Dan. Very impressive. You got the colouring spot on. I certainly couldn't get the folding and rolling done as meticulous as you did.

Although they miss a bit of the body the DIANA letters have, it looks rather fitting Cheers

Graag gedaan Shoosh (Your welcome). Stupid questions do exist!?!?!? A universe opens up for me, or is mine tumbling down upon me You are right, quite a few Dutchies around, but water and ships seem to attract them Perhaps your husband likes the silence, he must be a silent buider too ... not much sound of tools, etc. I hope you will make a lot of noise building. We will see her finished in no time. There are some marvelous plastic kits build at MSW, although, a lot more modern, like battleships e.a., but you can still learn a lot from those blokes. Some of them are really intricate and when adding PE (photo etch) it gets even more difficult. Looking forward to your build log Cheers
