cog got a reaction from popeye the sailor in The Sullivans DD-537 by Jack12477 - FINISHED - Trumpeter - 1:350 - PLASTIC
Not bad for a first at 1:350. Even the plastic at this scale is fiddly stuff ... but now we expect more ...

lovely work on the snatch block in the cockpit Mark The rest of the rigging looks great too. it doesn't loot like there is too much weather helm on the boat even with that much heel. Must be very nicely balanced.

Dear Mark
I really enjoy your work, it is a source of information as well as inspiration. Very very nice!
I was badly defeated trying to make portholes and had to buy them, curious to see how yours will turn out.
Have a very happy new year
Regards
Vaddoc

Finally finished the model. Didn't install as much PE brass add-ons as I had expected in the beginning; I just gave up trying to sort out what pieces on the PE Sheet went where and for what ships fixture. I did do the brass railings around the ships main deck, but that posed its own problems. The bottom half of the railing has a cross-hatched mesh attached. Gluing that to the brass rails posed a major challenge. I tried using a piece of picture frame glass, laid the pieces out and applied CA (first the Gap filling 15 sec and then second set used the very thin 3 sec) to glue the two pieces together. Unfortunately both types of CA filled in a lot of the mesh which got accentuated by the gray primer. Tried drilling some of it out but after a while my eyes got so crossed I had to quit. Have to find a different way of clamping/gluing for next time.
Model came out pretty good for a first time attempt at P&PE (plastic and photo-etch). Learned a few things I can use on next build.
Attached are the photos: (Even tho I took these outside in daylight with the white balance set for daylight the colors still look wrong - maybe it's the monitor)

Might be, one never knows how the wheel turns ... Eastern Frysian is German right. I would expect them to be Baroque lovers, so Art Nouveau ... could not be part of your preferences ... but that's the German ancestry from my grandfather

I know they are a mere 11 mm high, but my eyes tell me differently ... such deceivingly good scaled pumps ... extraordinairy ...
