Very nice Eberhard, I like your arrangement with the boats. Especialy that with the open dinghi without cover Nils -
Many thanks Rick, your comment is much appreciated. I am in the moment thinking about a new project and am gathering information about it Nils

Very nice work Eberhard, and a smart Idea with that repare-tape, thanks for sharing, a few weeks ago I was looking for something alike to strap down a boat on the Ergenstrasse Nils

Thank you very much John, I am pleased with the result, but had some trouble with the nameplates attached to the ships own stand plate on both sides. These are of printed paper ( black lettering on yellowish colored background ) glued small plates and fixed to the nameplate`s brackets. After glueing the paper on, all was OK, but then after varnishing them with polyurethane "protection" they looked all wet and soaked through, and even with a hot air dryer I could´nt get them to look as before. Will have replace the printed paper nameplates in the next days, and leave away the varnish. I should have used photo paper for printing. Nils

Today I finished the glass case, and my wife was so kind to clean the glass in- and outside, as well as to help carry and swap some of the other cases to a new display place in my hobby office. This closes the project Here some final pics of the casing and its build..... This was my 11th case I built this way and I`m pleased that to date there was no broken glass. I`m not so happy of the steadily increasing prices for glass, so I`m surprised of the glasser`s offers every time. I would like to thank all that were interested in the build log, with many likes, wows, appreciations, comments and suggestions allong the ride. Nils the glass-panes are held with helping aids, such as the "third hand" clamped to the cupboard above, short fixing- and distance pieces, and preliminary self adhesive tape the angles are well keep the panes in place after the top panel is complete stained and framed, the 4 vertical profiles are stained an cut to length now comes the final assembly..... here again the clamped on "third hand" the right angle corner mounting the top panel ( lid) to the rest metal corners fixed with stainless steel blackend philips flat cross-head screws (M1,7 x 6mm ) the glass bonnet set down on the base with the 6 interacting positioning pins, also the are 6 self adhesive felt patches under the baseplate to enable a smooth contact.

Thanks for your input Eberhard, I was`nt aware that those dapping blocks with matching punches are juwel-makers tools, Thats a very smart idea for making vent cowls as Valeriy did here Nils
-
very nice work Valeriy, how did you machine that multi smart idea enbossing block, is it hardened after machining ? Did you need to aneal the brass rounds prior to shaping with the punch ? The final soldering and trimming of the vents looks great.the relative thin wall-thicknesses, do not bring too much topweight to the model. Nils

very nice skylights Valeriy, I like the way you do this precise machining in brass Nils

Thank you Jond, Nils
