Build log part 9 this is the last part of this build, although the are some Little things I would like to add, or to Change next time I open the glass case I was quite happy that the glass case fitted exactly on the wardrobe it is Standing on the brass data plate is fitted within the case Impression of the plating bow area and Stern area this Position is concentrating, nearly interfearing on railing, funnel stay, steering chain, Davit tackle, but all is properly fastend to it own tackle point foredeck is a nice Meeting place for Young couples foreseen anchoring place the depth marking is made with regular Mirosoft Excel and to be printed out on one side adhesive transparent foil, or on Photopaper. Shall save this up to the next opening of the glass case, when the sternlight is also to be changed from green to White. I hope the presentation of my Bohuslän build log was liked, even though the framing, planking and hull building was not shown in this case due to lack of photos Auf wiedersehen Nils

thank you Bob, I got her out of the dark when I was looking for an object to do Trial metal plating on. I was satisfied with the result and transfered the technique to the other follow builds. At that time I recognized what a gem that old Lady was, and I decided, it was definately worth finalising her. Many of the original kit parts had gone lost, the Panels for cutting out the small parts were wavy, but the lifeboats I built in the early beginning, and they were carefully wrapped and secured in a drawer in my bedroom, and I still had the overview drawing Nils

Joe, the compressed building time was appr. 1,5 years but because many of the started parts have been laying around idle in boxes, on cupboards, it spread over a period of at least 10 years, it was nearly forgotten by myself Nils Thanks David For your comment Nils

Build log part 23 I would so much like to carry on with the bow area, but realize that there is a lot to still be done underneath the forecastle deck first. Think I will have do the stove and other Details in near future the portside guns will be rigged Standing on the Support rails under the carriage wheels all te svivel gunposts are only in "raw" condition, may want to get them 8-sided in upper portions Status overview just Setting the new guns in place for Dimension checking I tryed to get the rudder coppering only, shiny again, used Lemon concentrate Juice, it works very easy but I don`t know if I should have done that. I love the greenish Patina look like some others have tryed already Nils

Doing the guns in repeatable mode saves some time, once the method is on track... My work desk is quite a mess, since I have my own room and do`nt have to clean up during the day, and I still have 4 more to do. Am thinking of adding small wooden splints to the axis close to the wheels, but shall do that as last Action Nils Trial #1, small wire Pins secure wheels on axis Trial #2, small wooden splints hold back the wheels (I prefer this Version) Gun builders desk have 10 done so far, 4 more to go..
