  5. Hi Matti, it did`nt leave my mind running idle......., just found an old hand written note...., the company is RIB, and is meanwhile an Web-onlineshop in Germany http://www.rib-gmbh.de/epages/rib-gmbh.sf/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/rib-gmbh/Categories/MetallKlebebaender The product`s name is now : Janus AF 427 Hoping this will be of use to you.... Nils
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. Hartmut, thanks very much for your nice and much appreciated comment, glad you liked the build..... I have been watching your "Statenjacht" fitting out recently and like the love you put into the interior details, those alkovens, curtains, and the fireplace are so lovely... :) A happy new year to you and your Family... Nils

  11. 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
  12. Hi Danny, outcuts for pump inlets and metal work thereto look fine... Nils

  17. Thank you very much for the nice words and greetings Anthony, looks like this christmas there will be no snow, like on your pic, in northern Germany, but Marianne and I we`ll make the best out of our green winter. With kind regards to your wife Rhonda, and both of you have a wonderful christmas time as well as happy new year. Nils
  18. 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
