Bob, I was wondering if anybody would recognize that.... that double pin was not my own Invention, I saw it once somewhere in tips for modelling and also found it great and worth remembering. Meanwhile I glued some together and always have them Handy in order to clamp larger distances with more or less parallel closing in clamp-toungues Nils -

S. Coleman, thank you for your comment Nils Michael, thanks for your comment. The 2-componet resin I used is an ordinary liquid Polyester mixed with appr. 3% hardener. It cures in about 15 minutes time and can then be removed from the mould Nils

Build log part 25 Need 28 halves of this raft Containment, so ist worth doing a mould..... the half of the metal model is pressed into schoolkids clay, this being the mould (s) when making the boats there is always, before it cures off, some Polyester left, so is goes into the moulds (without wasting it) sanding, primering, Fitting of the halves, and preliminary mounting (some cradles to be made first) fastening with brass wire straps fitted on to the raft Container launching flipboards a wooden model is made for the three boats of the Gorch Fock. The making of the boats Pictures shall follow later on Build log part 26 to follow..... Nils

Lou, fortunately having a digital camera at Hand for some years already, it was possible to document the building sequences for three ships one by one, and this long before I knew of this MSW Forum. Now I am very happy to share my experience with others, before the pics lay idle in the files "drawers" of my PC. Nils

Hi Fabius, Looks like greater experimental toxic mixes you are composing. I can firmly feel the toxic vapours coming in my nose as I read your lines. But it Looks great. Trust you shall be using all necessary protection measures for your health and safety. The more I read and see about oxidizing the copper the more I am thinking about doing so on my Pegasus hull as well. It provides that nice dry dock hull apeal after serving several years in the salty ocean Nils
