  1. Thank you very much Bob for your nice comment Bob, there is a little walk bridge that connects the promenade deck with the forecastle deck. I trust its better that this that would have to go on first, otherwise there is no sufficiant access for mountung it, when the shrouds are in the way Nils
  2. thanks Patrick, good idea with the salt spray and streaks of rust, I may take it up later on......, for crew and passengers it`s not so easy with the suitable scale, but I`ve been gathering typical "turn of the century" passengers and crew members, for sailors and officers I recently found some nice figures in scale 1:144 from North Star Models Nils
  3. Update cleats on forecastle deck edge, mounting of spare anchor, and fastening of five turnbuckle screws per side, for the shrouds (M1 threads, left / right) and foremast backstays Nils
  4. Many thanks to Gerhard, Grant, Patrick John, Mark, Daniel, and all the "likes" for those much appreciated and kind comments....., I`ll be looking to rig the foremast and it`s shrouds next Nils
  5. Igor, the fish look frightening realistic, very nice work you`re surely bringing that theme to life........ Nils
  6. update build log part 33 here is a little update on the forecastle stairways, the cargo hatches, the medium sized cargo derrick and the anchor handling crane........ Nils
  7. Excellent modelling work Hennie, beautiful color giving you`re doing a wonderful job on the "Agamemnon" Nils
  8. Hi Patrick, stunning work !!!!! if it were a kit, could you name the amount of modeled individual pieces the yacht is comprizing where you layed hands on, good heavens it must be several hundreds..... a fantastic build Nils
  9. wonderful looking framework Mike, beautiful lines on your "Oliver Cromwell" Nils
  10. Thanks for sharing this copper electroforming methode Bob, very inspiring work indeed... Nils
  11. beautiful work Danny, planking, treenailing and surface treatment is top notch ! it must be a very delicate job to safely hit every frame twice for a planks rest (from sheer to keel) with those staggered treenails, well done ! Nils
  12. Thank you very much Christian, I did`nt know that book yet, although I have quite a lot of literature gathered already for NDL, but I shall have it in mind Nils
  13. Wellcome to the log B.E., I´m very pleased you joined in and many thanks for your kind comments. I love those old plated steamships, even taking in account that the "rivets" may be a tiny bit overscaled sometimes. This build is continuously setting myself before finding solutions how to do a certain details after another, but thats the fun in straining the old brain, it would be boring without.... It`s probably going to get harder when the superstructure details get started Nils
  14. Thank you very much Patrick, as the two staircasess (forecastle access) were too short , I took some raw etched patterns, clipped them to length, folded the sides and the stairs, and soldered my own side rails on made from 0,5 mm wire. Hight is now 34 mm instead of 27 mm Nils
