  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. Igor, the fish look frightening realistic, very nice work you`re surely bringing that theme to life........ Nils
  4. 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
  5. congrats to that lovely built barge Druxey, a very beautiful model... Nils
  6. brilliant work Magnus !!!! 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
  15. Hi Bob, sounds an interesting technique for making those vents, can imagine once it works the way you want it to, there will be many other items to use that methode on.... Nils
  16. thank you very much for your nice compliments. Denis, Mark, Robin and Micheal, and the "likes" Denis, I may be trying to cut some openings into fender and railing later on....., I`m afraid to weaken the static in the moment. Mark, I`m very pleased that the build is liked... Michael, fitting in some of those little items, do`nt always work out fist time, so I do it over again...., but I`m pleased you like it... Nils
