Hi Nigel, great work on this model, very nice Details, the treenailed hull planking and the carved items look superb Some of the pics in the early log-pages probably went lost, trust you would have replaced them if you have had back ups, but that is no handicap for this fine build... Nils

Hi Crackers, thanks for your words, and hopefully you did`nt have a data loss due to your harddrive Crash and its repair. I know from my own experience that every time my harddrives were exchanged there were losses in data somewhere when firing them up again. But nice to see that you`re online again Nils

Thank you Michael, I would have another steamship up the sleeve, but that had been started (If I remember right in 1981), then set forth 2006 and finalized in 2009. I`m not sure I I should post it, because the Build log pics would first set in when it was appr. 60% done. I had no Digit camera for documenting Pictures before that time. Nils

If there remain any questions, please feel free to ask, I shall be pleased to give answers.

Michael, please bear in mind that many sequences I have done nearly simultanously wih Pamir, and the rigging and sail making was one of These Features, if I were to build another tallship it probably could even be bit swifter because all the time consuming Trials would not have to be repeated again Now coming to the boltropes with stainless core.... I found a good flexible Brown woven 100% polyester line, 0,5mm diam. (a Little bit like the one the masons use, but finer in structure). This has a hollow sole, and with pushed in st. steel wire of 0,4 to 0,5 mm the total boltrope exspands to 0,9mm diam. outside. One can hardly see the difference with / without wire Two pics are enclosed.. (best is to magnify the pics) Nils
