Hi Bob, I just had a look at your "Spray" again, such a fine Little model ! I have one for you to see as well, recently I visited my son`s place, he (now 38 years old) had saved up a Little 17 cm long Pond boat, that could realy sail, I built for him for his birthday when he was 3 years of Age and I was realy honoured when I saw it now in a glass Vitrine. It used to have a little halfcircle shaped lead Ballast clamped to the keel, It`s nothing Special and would probably not deserve the specification of being a scale model or so, but it has found a nice place for rememberance in his home, which I was happy to see again.

Peter, thank you so much for your explaining comments relating to the jib and its rigging. Unfortunately I am not Holding the volume IV of David Antscherl`s Rigging the Swan Class, which probably may have given the one or other answer as well, but with your Kind comments I see I`m not laying wrong there. The Position and size of all of the stay sails and spanker is also a bit of tummy Feeling, but I trust I`m not too wrong with it. I wish Amati would have provided an extra sheet for all sail rigging. The reason for doing (preparing for) spanker and staysail rigging as next sequence is for better Access to rigging- and belaying Points before the Yards and squaresails are rigged on. Nils

Popeye, it saves me a block (for the downhauler), and is probably not historical quite correct, but I think it will look better for the eye Nils

Take the time it takes Omega, a good rigging is is the "dress Outfit" of your model for ever after and gives you satisfaction and a smile when looking at it Nils

Hi Mr. Pucko, so sorry to see those built-in misfits by the kit manufacturer you are encountered with in the moment. I hope that you are not too discouraged disappointed as your recently achieved build Status looks so well already Nils

Hello Bill, thanks for visiting my Bohuslän Build log, you`re very welcome, I`m glad you like it. The reference for the riveting is taken from my pre WWII steamship "Heinrich Kayser" build log, in the Posts # 12 and # 16, for the same technique in applying the rivet Feature. Click on the link in my signiture if you wish and look up the mentioned post numbers there. I hope this may be of help for you, and would love to see some pics of your model . Feel free to ask if there remain any questions so far Regards, Nils

Hi B.E. your apreciations / comments are always very welcome, many thanks, trust I will have to produce a set of stay sails now, to get those installed and rigged, due to the necessary given spaces as Long as the Yards are not hindering Access and for before its the turn for the Yards, suare sails and fürther rigging Nils
-
Thank you Bob, the staysails and their rigging arrangement and related belaying points are not referred to in the Amati plans, neigther the jibstay and the traveller, so I am taking advice from Lennarth Petersson`s book "Rigging Period Ship Models", which is a great help. Nils

Thank you Martin, I had delightfuly received a spare PE Panel from Amati customer Service once because of broken and lost parts for the PE Quarter badge decors. So These Little birds were obsolete until now...., and the black spaces had to have something on it... Nils

Thats so right Bob, when I was still active in mechanical Engineering and discussing some actual Detail with fellow engineers I swiftly made a handscetch and layed this on the table.... When I asked the younger "CAD fellows" collegues how they would quickly present their thoughts for others to understand, they did`nt realy seem to know what I was talking about... (smile) Nils

Larry, congrats to your well done good looking first build, a very impressive looking two-funnel tugboat Nils
-
Thank you Popeye, there are many open Ends where the work can carry on now... Nils Michael, thats what I often do, to bring my thoughts down to paper. It sometimes happens that just by looking it over a couple of times there Comes an idea for improvement, or an alternative solution, but I Need to look at the scetch, so the thought is not out of mind Nils

Build log part 65 a Little update to Keep the gear moving on... Topmast shrouds (without ratlines) set, as well as top topmast foreward stays. I`ll leave away the top backstays untill later because they would only hinder the Access to the deck in the Moment. I`m thinking of making and rigging the stay sails, now would be the time to have relatively good Access to the belaying points Nils

Robert, what about an update on your bone-made Royal Caroline ? "still ruht der See" since May 2014... Nils
