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

Gatean, I love that build of yours, great skilled handcraft work ! Nils

Popeye, when I started using brass I took the following Advantages out of it... - tapering done by staggering appr. tube diam. (no endless taper-sanding etc.) - soldering provides stronger joining than wooden equivelant - to my experience with the rigging it is quicker than with Wooden parts - as I am using wire chord for the static rig, I can set shrouds, stays backstays, etc. well stiff without distorting the masts, when stays and backstays-stresses are equally balanced - a disadvantage would be the weight compared with wood, but that is not relevant for a stand model that is put on a stabil stand. I pay much Attention for securing the standbolts (removable but safely) to the model Nils
