Bob, here a second try.... not 1:48 but 1:35 as the description mentions... http://www.dersockelshop.de/ratten-resin-28-teile-1-35_plusmodel_pl171.html Nils -
Bob, I came accross these...., looks like this is a webshop.. http://www.fuhrmann-figuren-shop.de/KF-ANI-72001-Ratten 10 little rats cast in tin, in all positions. The man-figure does not belong to the group, for comparing size only. trust the price is nice and low, so there would be no risk... Nils

very nice Bob, the food storage containments, sacks, casings, barrels, etc. are lovely, good job on the interior... ... little rats, mice,... on the sacks Nils

Many thanks Kester, for your kind comment... Coming back on your Statsraad Lehmkuhl I noticed that you put (half model) down in your signature link...., no complete hull planed ? have you changed your mind ? Nils
-
thanks very much Christian, your words are much appreciated... I`m also looking at your beautiful scale 1:32 HMS Fly build ( twice the size of mine), wow, that will be "solitaire eyecatcher" for a large room, when it`s done Nils
-
Thanks very much Bug, I`ll be happy if the one or other detail can be of reference, and look forward to your first sequences with HMS Pegasus in due time.... Nils

lovely work Charlene, ship and fitting out look very good, also the color giving... Nils

Very promising project Francesca, congrats to finding those lovely old construction plans of your post #3. Those plans alone provide all information it takes. I love this old steamer and shall certainly watch your progress with the build Happy keellaying... Nils

one of my favorites Siggi, those views of the stern, also the lanterns, from deck, from aft and quarter aft are fantastic... superb handcraft work... Nils
-
Palladio, wunderbar ! love your model, everything on and around that ship is a delight to see, (fitting out details as well) Nils
-
many thanks for your words Denis and Bob, and for your nice compliments... Denis, I never thought I would finish all those ships, but to avoid uncompleted "hulks" on the shelf its better this way... Bob, yes, and next to other things many hours are spent down in my hobby room, I have my web-connection and my PC standing there as well and so a pensioneer`s life does`nt get boring Nils
-
Thanks Michael, I had the Pegasus standing on the shelf with rigging and sails for weeks and months whilst I started the KWdG, and did`nt recognise the meantime dust settlement on the model. So I know what frustrating effort it would take to clean a unprotected model standing over a longer time... Nils

thanks to - Pete - Jason - B.E. - Crackers, for looking in and for your kind comments.... Pete, my hobby- and workroom is in the cellar of our home, equiped with heating and conected bathroom (was foreseen as a guest room when the house was built) The HMS Fly I meant, is the one Martin is captain of.... Jason, Thanks I know, lucky me, for the room....., If you like, the other models can be viewed by clicking on the links in my signiture, it takes you to the build logs, go to the last the individual last posts there for final pics... All models pictures are also in the gallery for completed scratch built ships, only the "Bohuslän" steamer is in the kit-built gallery for completed ships B.E. every time I have completed a model I find no suitable place in the other floors of our home, so the last solution is to hope there will be a place in my hobby room. Trust the space is exhausted now Crackers, yes , by the time and unwillingly my hobby-room becomes a bit "museum character", but I like to have the models in view when sitting at my desc, and my wife kindly lets me arrange the interior as I desire Nils

Thanks for explaining Michael, the steambox and it`s function,.....relatively simple and smartly done ! Thanks for sharing Nils
-
Martin, I thank you very much for your congrats and your nice words. This build was a nice experience to go through, I think the rigging part was the most challenging.... Hope to see your next progress on the "HMS Fly" soon. Here`s a shot of my work area, all cleaned up again, its surrounded with ship models, my little maritime "museum", ready to go for continuing the KWdG (under plastic, in the moment) stapled over the "Gorch Fock" Nils
-
amazing and beautiful lightweight hull Michael, its great to see how fine the thin frames came off the supporting build frames in excellent condition and shape as you planed it to be. How did you lead the steam into your "steambox", it worked out very well. One more question : as you are intending to let her into the water later, did you glue the planks edge to edge as well ? (epoxy / glas fibre reinforced coating planed ?) Nils
-
Patrick and Pete, thanks to both of you so much for your nice words and compliments, very much appreciated, glad you like the model Nils
-
That`s a very fine compliment Peter, many thanks to you, Slowly there are some more "Swan Class" gun sloops, next to yours completed, and coming in the near end phase, trust there will be a real fleet with MSW one day.... You`re right with the imagination of forklift moving of those cases. The KWdG Hull is looking at me all the time, and saying..... I`ll need an appr. 1500 mm long dust protection case one day, what are you going to do about it ?..... Nils
-
Thank you very much for your appreciative word Mark, this model (in scratch build) has found quite a large interest by followers of the log. Thanks again to you, and all that made their kind comments, suggestions, appreciations, expressed their "likes", I would be very happy if I was able to provide the one or other inspiration to my 1:64 scale fellow "Swan Class" builders. Nils
-
Danke für die netten Worte Dirk, will be switching to the KWdG model, but have to clean up my work shop areas first Nils
-
Display case,.... the final.... today the display case has been completed, and sowith the project is done Nils the preliminary "grip" on the upper large glass side is fixed to the wall cupboard and is a useful third "hand" when mounting put the model in it`s place already whilst mounting sides and top pictures taken through the glass never auto-focus correct (sorry for pic quality) I use these screws rather that sink head screws because of the better strength and handling
