    A pleasure to watch your buildlog Joe, nice and clean build to date, I`m looking out towards your next Progress... Nils

    Pete, one could fall in love with the lines of those keelboat daysailers. If I had known at that time that this build (in actual) was on the market I would have bought it instead of my Cornish Cormorant way back in 1987 Nils

    thanks a lot B.E. an approval from your side for this solution means a lot, I know we both exchanged thoughts on this some time ago, versa your Version with the plankways both sides, which also Look good, but now was the time it could be done. The to be cut deckbeam in that Position was supported from beneath with two pillars. Perhaps I shall leave away the ladder on the port side. Nils

    Jason, I`m using the RB article 005 1449 It is declared scale 1:72 but is f itting wonderfull with 8 or 9 steps from deck to deck for models in scale 1:64 ( step to step is 3mm = 192 mm actual)) Nils
  9. Mirabell61
    thank you Jason, unfortunately I have no milling Equipment for such precise ladder making, so I buy little ladder kits (material for two ladders per kit) from RB-Models web shop. The mini kits are comprising the cheeks and the steps that have to be inserted and glued into the Slots, all in several different scales Nils

    Today the Access ladder to the forecastle deck is fitted for Position check I know this may not be historicly wise correct, but I just could`nt mount those Little "pigeon-ladders" the way the plan shows. Leaving awy the forecastle bulkhead anyhow, the underneath area would be open, and the captain claimed a propper stair there after slipping off the foreseen ladder of the plan several times The ladder now neatly fits in between the first and the second starboard gun, without hindering the tackles there Nils

    The sailmaker is doing a good job Peter Nils
  13. Mirabell61
    She`s coming on very nicely Pete Nils

    Thank you very much Peter, you are reflecting exactly my thoughts I have in mind....., thats a nice Picture resembling a great Inspiration for sail Setting on a model, probably I´ll go for a good compromize solution like that. Your own rigging with partial furled and hauled up sails is also a good Version for orientation... Nils

    Thanks for sharing the pics Mike, a very fine and interesting looking model Nils
  16. Mirabell61

    A wonderful built ship Ilhan, it is exiting to go through your build log, all Details are masterly built. Very clean and pricice built hull and planking. My congrats to this great acheavement. I admire your Talent for doing the blocks and the metalwork as well as the sails, they look great and the ships boats are superbly built in all very well done !! Nils

    Thank you very much for your words Geoff, Nils

    Hello Peter, nice to hear from you again, and thanks for your words... I had really planed to do full rigged sails, always hoping that the one or other of the fellow builder would set sails to a good breeze well ahead of me, so I can see what it Looks like. In my mind I see a White swan blustering its feathers a bit, drifting over the lake in a gentle wind. I also remember That Danny (his wonderfull Vulture 1:48) once mentioned that too many sails would hinder the sight into the outcut hull and -decks and I share his opinion there. For the standing and possibly the running rigging I trust and hope there shall be some very well done presentations on the Swan Classes rigging on MSW in due time, and last not least with aid of the Amati plan. When the time for rigging is reached, I will have to groove myself in first anyhow. I think Glen Barlow once mentioned that he spent so much accureness and functioning ropes into the running rigging Detail, that the ship could be sailed if magnified to actual size. Cheers Nils

    I`m with Bob, Nigel and Pete That model is very interesting in look it is expressing his /her Feelings about the planking Job in a very Special way... Nils
  24. Mirabell61
    love that stove Ian, also the challenge of consequently soldering instead of glueing parts on... respect, very well done ! Nils
  25. Mirabell61
    Tom, the praises are all well deserved on your beautiful model, also please accept my congrats to the proud builder and his very special ship Nils
