Thank you Michael, yes, sometimes I get lost in Details, probably the Advantage of scratch build, because I can do many things as they are created in my mind, although many is not yet mounted due to the Access to belaying Points whilst the rigging Nils Thank you Popeye, it is also my Intension to find a place where it can be seen from both sides when finaly completed. Relating to the "CUX" I ca`nt tell when it will go on, she`s still sitting on the shelf, and I have to be in the mood to groove myself in for carrying on. The "Bohuslän" was also sitting idle for many years collecting dust, until one day I was in the mood again, and that lasted to complete the model. Nils

great device Bob, thanks for sharing... Nils

thanks to both Bob and Bob, well appreciated comments..... It may take a Little time for the next updates, I have so much other things on my "to do list" in the moment Nils

beautiful machining Work Michael, those Videos are great, ans also that reversing gear works fantastic, well done! Nils

little update...... going on with the main yard....., stirups, horses, brace pendants and truss tackles still to be attached. I thought it would be easier to attach the main course to the yard, and then to hang it it place with the main jeers, sling and truss tackle, and let myself be surprised if it works or not. Would probably need to attach some ratlines on the lee-side shrouds, because I`m going to the sails in braced mode. Nils Again a hand scetch is made first block attached in different sizes lengths of stirups and position of horses checked, (here figure standing on the wrong side of the dummy yard ) thats a working ship...... no yacht, chainpump levers with supports go on after the main gallow support is fitted quarter deck with view down inside likewise at forecastle and waist deck

Doris, your Kind comment is highly appreciated, I also very much like and admire your builds, whereby it seems not the question of material (Card, Wood, plastic), whatever model you lay your Hands on, it bears that unmistakeable special "Doris touch of art". Every time I browse one of your logs I love to see those period dressed and painted lovely figures, of which I so much wish I could do something alike Wish you much success with your Job and a wonderful enthusiastic ship modeling year Nils

amazing fine surface Dimitris, I presume you were using a very fine structured glass roving web, with probably epoxy resin, which allows to a certain degree "3D flow" without throwing wrinkels. The Advantage of that method is the resulting fine , even surface structure and with limiting the resin amount you can avoid time consuming sanding afterwards. In this way your hull gets a wonderful tight and rigid baseground for further applications of whatever you desire.... smart and well done ! Nils

Pete, I remember the first one was fantastic already. are you planing any alternative changes for #2 ? Nils

beautiful build Lee, the Fitting out of the interior will be great Nils -
hello Dimitris, I know what you`re talking about with those possible hailine fractures in the outside Skin. Sometimes they occur even months after the planking was done an, sealed and painted. Good experience was achieved with this "crack creep" thin-viscosic product UHU Holzfest, if you Need to secure thin cracks, and if already there, from getting larger. If you are going to simulate steel plating, you Need a smooth outer Skin of the wooden surface underground. (that plating put on afterwards can also be structured before applying) One pic without,- one with structure (here riveting structure) happy new year Nils

Hello Dimitris, A very fine built model so far.... I`m with Elia....., why fibreglass,and resin ? I guess scale 1:100 is too small to have her put in the water afterwards. If the actual Hull is riveted, an appropriate structured Skin for the model would be great Nils

Omega, thank you for your appreciation, some of the Crew members are just disembarking for shore to have a good time at the Harbour Taverne and to have some drinks for welcoming the new year Nils
