lovely work Albert, will you keep up the possibility later on to view into the model, right down to the lower decks ? That looks fantastic, also the wood tones composition is superb Nils -
Thank you so much for your kind appreciations and compliments - Bob - Albert -Nenad - Bill - Steve - and Pete, and all those that expressed their "Likes" recently... Bob, I`m pleased you like the vents... Albert, a nice compliment, thanks very much.. Nenad, much appreciated, thanks very much... Bill, sorry for the wrong term in this relation, and thanks for putting me on track again, much appreciated.. Steve, the learn curve sets in at an early stage, this evening I made a few more bowls, and am pleased how fast they can be done now, Am still looking for some with only 10 mm diam. (found some and ordered at Ebay already, hopefuly the turn out right) Pete, thanks very much for your words...

full elegant hull Patrick !!, I`m amazed how swift you are modeling, you sure know what you are doing there...... Nils

Update making vents have been producing vents in different sizes these days, the pics show only 39 and there are 39 more to do (total 78) The time consuming part is to get the radial hole to size of a close fit around the tube for good soldering with a gas torch I`ve never used my Dremel (and different diameter grinding bits) so much before Nils

Wonderful 12 1/2 footer Pete, this reminds me so well for sailing many years with my Cornish Cormorant dinghi day sailor, about the same size at the Baltic sea.... Nils

Good progress Patrick, looks like you had a sigh of relief when the hull came off the mould in good condition..... Nils

Thanks Bob, I found these so called "bag feet" on a web site of an Italian source. The benefit was the elegant rounded rear side of the bowl, also giving a little more depth, so larger vent tubes could be used, than with ordinary flat reared bowels. I was initialy looking for "acorn nuts" in appropriate thread sizes, the ones with brazed on domes made from sheet, but was`nt able to find any at all (used to cut off the domes), that what I did for my "Heinrich Kayser" steamer Nils

Hi Ed, right, I remember when member Lee posted his progress steps on his lovely Cutter "Alert" he gave me the tip to use a black cloth or black blanket as background for those full view pics, and I follow his advice now and then with good results. Your approach with the cut-aways on "Young America" is superb just like is.... Nils

Hello Ed, love that model, the way you make the outcuts in decks deck-houses, and even one of the boats is only half planked. The last pic with the black hull, the golden ornamenting and the partial sheeting look great, Beautiful work, what a pleasure to look at. Nils

Figurines for use as 18th century scale 1:48 Naval soldiers on models of that period, some months ago I was considering the build of the British Naval cutter "Alert" of 1777 after Peter Goodwin`s book and plan. Looking for 1:48 scale deck soldiers I found these.... and would like to share the find with fellow builders here on MSW. http://scenearama.woodlandscenics.com/show/Item/SP4454/page/1 the kit comes with good looking, fully painted soldiers, 3 American and 2 British, in appropriate period coat of arms Nils

Thanks Bob, it looks great, I use the same technique for my ships decks and it also worked well every time, even if the planks are only 0,8 mm thick there is enough "flesh" on them for sanding over prior to varishing...and the "caulking" remains visible... Nils
-
Very nice work Bob, just a question : did you do "edge-caulking" of the side planks above the wales before laying these ? All looks very neat and crisp Nils

Hello Peter, good to see the progress on your "America" nice coppering job, i like the pattern of those Amati plates, are they photoetched ? Nils

Hi Keith, a beautiful build, from keellaying to present status, very nice handcraft work on hull and deck. Your metal work and brass milling is wonderful to see and also that winch is fantastic. A good idea using an old (toothwheel ? ) for the e-motor coolribs .. Nils
