Thanks very much Greg, yes, the doc. did give me confedence that he will be able to get all right again by means of certain injections to the nerve root area, so no surgery ! no more upset... For the Royal Caroline scratch build in 1: 32 as I am very curious of what will come, it must be quite a "beast"..... Nils

Hi Greg, Thanks for your compliment and your good wishes...... My health is improving now day by day, and I`m very happy and grateful with that. Today started a slight carry on with the work again and cut and soldered the the brass tube-bits of the tapered foremast together. I saw in your signiture that you`ve taken over The "HMY Royal Caroline" from our freind Greg. (the peg leg sailor) Please pass on good wishes and all the best to him. The R.C. with open port side, showing all decks and in 1:32 "super scale" sounds a great project ! Is it a kit or scratch build ? Will you be starting a build log here.... ? Nils bottom diam. 6,5 mm, tapered in 5 steps to top 2 mm, length 330 mm

Am looking very much forward to your begin , resp. keellaying.... Nils

a beautiful built sloop Dave, I love it that you`re scarce with the paint brush and let the warm wooden tones work out, that gives a realistic impression, also the deck cutaway, well done Nils

thanks for the pic Bob, is there a typical nomination for that typ rig ? , I normaly would call it a brig with two full rigged masts, and spanker at the aft mast, but here the foremast seems to be the mainmast. (hight). Probably it would have been a small 3-mast frigate with also a foremast, if not that bomb firing caronade would take the required place on the foredeck. A very interessant vessel Nils

nice progress and good work Bob, looks like a good quality kit with sturdy well approved design, certainly you`ll turn it into another jewel under your hands... Do you perhaps have an side- overview plan pic, so as to show what she looks like, with masts and rigging ? Nils
