beautiful metalwork on the stove Bob, that also proves a good idea to go for the module build mode, you have fine access to everything.... Nils

Merci Michel, thanks for dropping in, glad you like it Nils

beautiful Detail Peter, very nice quarter aft shot, all fits great into your Color scheme Nils

Thanks for your Kind words Bob, this one is calling for most concentration, because there have been so many of my ideas and experiences inplemented, that the plan set stays on the shelf most of the time. Many ideas come to me when I do my daily morning walk with the dog, On the other Hand there are so many good inspirations by MSW Posts of fellow builders as well. Lucky for me I have the time to do this modeling since my retirement, and it Looks like it will be a two years Project after all, like the others, if completion can finalize in Summer 2015 Nils

HMS Alert 1777 by Jaekon Lee - 1/64

beautiful Lee, clinkered port side....., that will be a treat... Nils -
Thank you very much B.E. , when looking at the close up yard tip, I recognized that I had by mistake tied the topsail sheet, one turn around the upper lift line. Its not obvious to see, for someone who does`nt know, but it looks at me now. As the line-ends have been snipped off already, I Would have to put new lines on to get that one mended. Decision : leave as is... Nils ....not free from mistakes.... Skylight simply glued to deck, and tabernacle tied down on deck beginning to clean up the line ends, all belaying places on gallows posts rail occupied now close up at the port quarter helmsman working place

fantastic work Dave, just had a look at your log, Looks great, never seen so much lovely Details on a bottle ship Nils
-
no understatement Bob, those well done ratlines at the lower foremast look just right Nils
-
beautiful work Michael, you are very knowledgable in function and fabrication with those facinatiing "Oldtimer" machine parts, a delight to watch you move along Nils

Hi Peter, thanks for your comment you caught me there , I had simular thoughts when looking at the cleat result, The belaying leg-Portion (0,5 mm wire) would be 32 mm diam in actual, so I did`nt find that too skinny, but the endings (legs) should be a Little rounded off and modified. I think I`ll do an alternative solution in the next days, I have something in mind already..... Nils Mike, I`m very happy if this may have been the Inspiration for you to go with sails. A pitty that the Amati plans do`nt comprise a sheet or two related to sails rigging. In the beginning I was a bit unsure if the number of sails and the sail Arrangement were correct, as I do`nt hold Atscherl`s Swan Class rigging volume IV book, and to my knowledge I trust there has not been any Swan Class under sail in scale 1:64 on this Forum before Nils Hi Marc, thanks for dropping in, glad you like it Nils

beautiful build Mike, love to Details and superb work like Nils
-
Wunderbar Siggi, the Fitting out of those decks Looks very realistic to me Nils
-
Martin, thank you very much, and I`m indeed happy with the result so far, as most went right first time and no time time robbing doing over or redoing of parts Nils
-
Appreciate your fine comment Bob, Nils

Hi Ed, Great Stern decoration ! I like the use of your sculpting epoxy and would gladly like to hear a Little more about your way to do it. have you used an positive shaped casting, pressed metal sheet, or sample of any other material for creating a negative form first ? into which you press the sculpturing epoxy for curing ?

HMS Alert 1777 by Jaekon Lee - 1/64

Lee, excellent looking deck beams, but I`m with Alex, and would`nt take the risk of those beams remembering that were straight once, to slowly creep into that straight Position again. Suggest that you fit some pillars midships in order to safely and permanently Keep the curvature of those beams example... Nils

Build log part 73 update, on going sail rigging..... hanging in the pre-rigged square sails is easier than I thought it would be. The main top sail is easier to brace, although the parrel tie to the mast ca`nt be loosened, but the top sail does not foul the shrouds, and the main top staysail fits neatly in with its aft-contour Nils most of the sail controlling lines (mounted sails) are attached and belayed There are reef lines attached to the topsail yard, shall also add leech lines (these two features from Lennarth Peterson`s book are not shown in the Amati plan) will add the shroud cleats and ratlines to the main mast shrouds next as long as the bracelines have not been permanently rigged, the square sails can be swivelled over to both sides, for access to the shrouds
