Siegfried, Good to see you back at the workbench. As I experienced with scale modelling, colours can be very tricky. It isn't only influenced by scale, but also by the modellers wish to use the true, or the scale colour. At this scale I wonder if scale colour could be possible at all. However, I like the way your red turned out, and do hope you find your answer on the lid's rabbet question. I wish you a merry xmas, but most of all a healthy and happy new year.

it seems for some most of life is defined as a contest, others just like pleasing lines ... a certain flow. I particularly like the cabin's roof as it breaks the rigid lines of the caulked planks

Steve, with regards to your columns, I would use hollow styrene tubes glued to the lower decks. Take an undersized tube or rod - styrene/wooden dowel -which fits in the other one and glue/screw that one to what you call the balcony - usually refered to as bridge(s) if I recall well - so they slide down into the support tubes

Thank you for the appreciation of my work, Piet. Good to be hearing from you just before Xmas. How's the modelling virus, still suppressed by lovely weather and the never ending story ...

It just depends on the strength of the thread, and stiffness of the stanchions , Steve... I am working with it - third model I use it on - so far you haven't, and hence miss the knowledge. That's the fun part of this site ... you get so much knowledge through other person's builds besides your own. You only need to ask to enlarge your wealth

Good to see you at the bench again, Grant.

I like the way those boat's covers turned out

Steve, Thanks for the thumbs up. My railing is EZ-line, an elastic thread, which can't stand the heat, so I'll not bring it into the kitchen. I'll be glueing with CA.

Probably because paint was scarce ... different point of view ... I like tho hospital ship with the cross wires ... easy to focus

You give me far more credit than I'm due mate ... but you're not far of the mark ... I use the subtitles for German from time to time as I do not use it very often (once a decade)

That must have been quite painful, Eric. Maybe an x-ray wouldn't be a bad idea, but then you probably know your body best. Hope you recover quickly. You did make me curious about the modelling topics from Chile

Thanks Denis, tried the tinsels on the ship's boats, but somehow it just didn't look right with the camouflage ... to brilliant and shiny to suit the entire ship ... mayby if I painted the hull sparkly green and silver ... addeed some Xmas coloured depthcharges, and some Santa sigars, and red shiny liferafts ...
