Hi Michael, I`m presently just working on the same Detail, and intend to do it this way,,, drill 0,5mm to the axis, carefully widen up with 0,8mm drill and shift in a small wooden Splint. In your sample it Looks like you are also using washers, These I will leave away. This is what the assembly Looks like.... Nils

Thank you Bob Nils

Aah, you have a good eye Popeye, it is the Billings "Cux 97" and it is still waiting to be completed, for that one I also did not purchase the Fittings kit. The Boat kit is as old as the Bohuslän and out of that early building period. I also have the Billing Boats "Marie Jeanne" thunny fisher but that one is fully completed and in a glass case. Nils

Thank you very much JesseLee Nils

Bruce, I just had a look at your build page 1-6 and am very impressed of your Clipper Lightning. Are there any previously posted parts of the Framework, hull, plating sequences, etc, that perhaps went lost after the MSW 1 Crash ? Have I missed anything ? In all a very nice and clean built model, shall love to see the coming parts Well done! Nils

Build log part 5 the Bohuslän has a very nice slim Stern, and the whole waterline appearance in birds view Looks like she is designed for Swift coastal travel prop and rudder are well protected against unpurposed ground contacts in shallow waters the handrails are from Mahagoni but laminated with thin aero-ply from below to avoid Splitting when shaping and Drilling them the Little clinker planked lifeboats are models of their own for the boats strappings I cut some stripes from black Roof-Skin plastic material I still had the Integration of the three trims into the metal plating worked out quite well Gothenburgs town badge-flag set at the bowpost, and rigging of the Forward mast and load Derrick under way Build log part 6 to follow...

Correct Popeye, the wooden parts were all printed on Wood, those were the times the modeler had one or two good old jigsaws and lots of thin blades in different tooth sizes Handy. I don`t even remember if the Frames had to be cut out or not. But I can remember that there was a perfect straking of the Planks to the Framework, it was really enjoyable and easy to plank in single mode. Nils

Thank you Nigel, when I bought the kit it was so Long ago, and good kits of steamships were quite rare on the market. It is a pitty that Billing Boats did not Keep up with it in their program Nils
-
Thank you Nigel, I am glad the guns worked out quite well for the scale size, allthough I learned now that the hoops (makes sense) will be scratching the decks, but that would be my individual note.... I thought about chemical blackening hoops and gunbarrels for many times, but I find the brass contrust to the carriages in cherry- stained color tells you they are not of resin or of plastic. Nils
-
Thanks Mark, nice words, yes it is wonderfull to be in contact with world wide modelers, and to get the Impression what challenging project others are doing.... For me also it is a nice exercise (please excuse grammer and spelling)to communicate now and then in english language after I have retired from business Nils
-
Hi Peter, sounds Logical what you say about Wood wheels on Wooden deck, but taking in account the wrong historic Approach here, I find it Looks better with hoops in brass contrust, the wheels would otherwise look quite boring.. Nils

Mark, when I first saw this MSW Forum I was realy rocked, there suddenly were so many stunning builds of 18th century and earlier ships and I thought that all would be a number too high for me. So many artists at work... and even in scale 1:48. So this now is my first wooden historic ship and I have chosen the Pegasus because I fell in love with the lines and the hopefully not too complicated Fitting out and rigging. As I have only the Amati plan, all is scratch built, and there is much room for individual own Features. The scale is a Little small, but on the other side the required space for Setting it up for display in ist Display-glass case afterwards is just right Nils

Very nice work Tim ! interesting hull shape, she must have been quite a Swift sailor Nils
-
Thank you Richard Nils
-
I`ve been busy this afternoon Popeye, those guns are so small and there are first 3 finished out of 14 in total to be built..., but I trust the production is well repeatable by now Nils fits easy on 1/2 a thumb
-
Chris, Lovely work ! it is such a delight to look at the different models you are representing, I understand that you build the prototypes that most probably shall be produced as Amati kits. These models are masterly drawn and must be a pleasure to build due to the well experienced Details brought into the final execution of the kits. You certainly are Setting the bar very high to an anbitious Level in skill. Thanks for showing These wonderful builds. Cheers Nils

I agree Popeye, good idea, the gun Lifting / changing Detail would be for an action-type Diorama. It could be inspiring for the diorama builders here on MSW. Nils wheels attached now, I think I should`nt put more to it...
