You didn't need a lot of high tech tools to make an impressive build ... well done Antanas -
Jason, the second option would not necessarly mean an additional change in the first planking ... you do need a rabbet for that second layer ... you could use shavings to thicken the planking near the sternpost Cheers,

It is you say she is not ready, Nils, but by her looks ... she could sail away, ready for battle Cheers

If you have a build log here ... you should ask it there, or you may try this link: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/forum/16-masting-rigging-and-sails/ This site is the right place for your questions, and you WILL GET ANSWERS (as a member) When you start a build log it is even better. If you started your log, post the address from the browser here so we can find it, and help you out Cheers

I could see the rigging, but where are the masts ... What kind of thread have you used, Patrick. It looks good on the model that size
-
Piet, As with all the repetitive work, it takes time, but you could train your brain muscle searching for ways to make that solder production line. You might use a revolving cake stand a low one, I found one in marble ... put a soldering stone on top, maybe another in between to dissipate the heat and you're on your way ....

You on a roll Piet. Like the ports, looking forward to those hinges!
-
Well done Mick!!! If you hadn't it would have bitten you in the hiney, and irritated you all along the rest of the build ... Curious to the pre and post looks of the redo though ... you've got me all excited!!! Cheers

Nice work, Patrick, i know now where you get your energy ... ... a bowl a fruit a day keeps patrick at play!!! You're going fast ... even with all those wonderful details you keep on adding ... Those masts do stand out in white ... good contrast

Ken, DNA imprint is mandatory as Mark said, so don't be to picky on that. It's the only way to prove you are the builder(!) It's your builds fingerprint. About the segments ... both methods have their pros and cons. Glueing it up up front might be easier, because you can handle the different pieces more easily, but you may not get correct 'in line'. Attaching the segments individually, could be harder as you are forced to confirm to the hul's shape. However, you follow the hulls line. The chance to deviate is far less compared to the first method. It's mainly a question of preference/choice and whatmakes you feel at ease ...

Igor Your English is very good, you just do not know all the expressions, which is normal. A blown bottle or glass, used to be made by people blowing on pipe with glass at the end, thus forming a baloon shape which could be used for lamps, bottles, and other glass objects. Nowadays it's done by machines, which make every bottle identical, and are less a health hassard example of manual blowing

Igor, I've tried to work small, but you really make exteraordinairy tiny builds ... and the wonderful thing is, they still look like ships/boats ... I don't know how you manage to realise such a feat ...

It must feel good to be at it again. Careful start is a start ... it'll do. You take the time you need, Wayne
-
Wizardry, Jason ... a magnificent job!!!
-
Very nice work. The tree nails look very good on the model. Cheers
-
Masterful ... if no other elements were visible one might think it to be the real thing, the real size ... such incredible, sharp details, and such fine, crisp lines ... a sight for sore eyes ...
-
Smart lass, Mark ... no competition for Janet though ... She looks better every time!
-
JesseLee, You may want to put a thick cloth on your workbench if you need to turn her over ... less chance on damaging caprails e.a.

A woodmill is where wood is sawn into beams or planks, often called mill or sawmill I found this as translation лесопилка You understand so much, it's just to easy to forget we are foreigners here ...
