Hello Matti, thanks for dropping in and thanks for your words..... Relating to the used alum. tape, unfortunately I ca`nt find the brand name anymore, and its not printed on the roll. I remember (must be back in 2008 or so) when I made out a company per web search, they would`nt sell to end users, and it needed some persuading to purchase a roll of appr. minimum 50 meters in 100 mm width. It had waxed paper back for peeling off and had a very good self adhering glue-film. The thickness without gluefilm is 0,125 mm, with gluefilm 0,2 mm. At that time I was building my steamship "Heinrich Kayser", wich I wanted to fit out with "riveted" plating. I tried the technique on my "Bohuslän" steamschip with a smaller tooth-module for the ponce toothwheels. The result was very good, so also the riveted tallships got foil platings. The 50 meter roll is now slowly coming to the end but I never thought that it would last in minimum for 5 of my metal plated "riveted" ships. I was anxious that it would`nt last for the KWdG, but luckily it did. Todays it should be possible more easy to make out a company per web research that produces or distributes an adequate foil, and that possibly also sells to end-users. I`m very sorry not being able to help you with the brand name, its been too long ago and unfortunately I did`nt save a copy of the purchase order Matti I wish you a good and successful new year Nils

Martin, thanks very much for your wishes. I`m also looking very optimisticly into the new year and counting with many inspirative builds and ideas to come..... I have here found a lovely kit bashing inspiration for the scale 1:64 "HMS Fly", resp. "Swan Class" Builders, I like very much, in a Dutch forum, and wich I find should be shared wih others..... https://modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=37813&sid=9530e1c699673b50aa456ed7ee788939&start=20 Wishing you all the best and a smooth and happy entry to 2016 Your freind, Nils

Thank you Denis, I very much appreciate your fine comment. Have just changed the ship`s action life-period from 1776-1780 new to 1776- 1777, as she has only been seen 1 year on the waves, until she foundered Nils

Thanks very much Tom, I`m glad the sails do`nt look too bad, but its also practicing the selfmade sewing, and to learn where it can be improved. I`m a freind of little figurines, if they are available in the right scale they can ship in..... Have a nice and pleasant christmas time Nils

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
