  1. yeah, John, and especially in that tropical region. I hope it works out as this is quite a narrow gap between the margins for sewing something .... Nils
  2. Update I`m planing to make and mount two awning-canvas-cloths on the bridge between wheelhouse and wing cabs. ( at least try to do it). Therefore each two rails with fastening eyes will be mounted. The wheelhouse ceiling is at the sametime also the planked monkey deck floor with the anchor bolt eyes for the front funnel stays. The railing to the monkey deck will be fitted later. Also there are now some short access ladders to the mid hold areas on the welldecks.

  3. Hi Peter, congrats to that beautiful model, she looks great with the sails and you did do a great job with the rigging... Nils
  4. Thank you very much John, I wish you and your family an enjoyable and relaxing Christmas break. Nils

  6. Very nice looking model, I like the wooden tone, and the sails ,congrats Nils
  7. Valeriy, thanks for sharing your technique in applying the "putty-belts". I was`nt familiar with that methode before you showed it. You did a super job and its very inspiring and I asume it mut be a nice job for modelers who have experience and a steady hand with "Gips-Stuckarbeiten" structures. I am wondering if it may be possible to combine the way you do it and the way I usually do my hull metal-plating riveting Nils
  8. right Keith, thanks for your word, I`m on the final straight right now, but still a lot to do. when the bridge is done, there will be enough to do, so that I probably wo`nt make it before the new year. There are several awnings to be made and mounted, as well as the deck above the wheelhouse and it`s railing. also all the small stiffening out elbows around the bridge super structure, the nav.lights, life saver rings, some lockers, etc ...... Nils
  9. Update starting with the bridge wing-cabs today, (here card template) with those typical "Ergenstrasse-outcuts". Also the flagpost, the bollards, the Panama fairleads, the mast riggings and the radio short-wave antenna and the stairs are mounted Nils Stb. side card dummy bridge wing-cab Bollards and Panama fairleads forecastle stairways access stairways to aft midship island ( via windless-plattform) The radio antenna
  10. Very good looking result Valeriy, The hull structured with these "belts" give the model a realistic look Nils
  11. very neat frame sawing work Keith, it looks very promissing for the further progress Nils
  12. Hi Ian. thats an interesting engine I have`nt seen before, it looks like a giant double action reciprocating plunger pump, only other way round.... Nils
  13. Update not much for today, the forward- and aft mast-stays as well as the aft funnel stays are mounted. The stairs from the boats deck to the bridge in dryfit, a little brass waterbucket hanging attached to the superstructure, and the lashing device for the aft lifeboat strap Nils stair to the bridge frontmast stay attachment aft attachment Waterbucket aft stay arrangement boats strap with lashing device front attachment mast attachment for forward stays
  14. super Siggi, nice photos also. Will you have some outcuts in the deck allowing view to the below interior ? Nils
