John, thank you very much for your appreciative and encouraging words, and this goes as well to all the many other fellow mates who liked the Pamir Build log as well. I feel very honoured for the results of my work being liked so much, and for myself it has been a great pleasure to share this with others. Maybe the one or other tip could be of use or inspirative, I also shall adopt likewise good tips out of this Forum. I have decided to post another complete build log, probably beginning in the coming week. Again many thanks John Nils -
Oh Crackers, what a great Finale....! you make me smile to both ears, thank you so much for These nice words and your clip... It realy was a pleasure for me to post that complete build log, hopefuly someone else shall also be inspired to do one of the Flying P-Liners one day. I was myself thinking about the "Potosi" or the "Preussen", but in scale 1:96 they would turn out as Monsters in length, allthough being the non plus ultra in challenge (in model) being the racehorses of the freight sailing tallships. Perhaps I may in future start a build log of the german navy 3-mast barque "Gorch Fock 2", in Version of the late 1960 ties, but that would have to be rearranged out of my photo Archive and set up into sequential parts first. again many thanks Nils

Mauro, I see things are moving on the "tape side plating".... I found your solution so nice that I had itching fingers to give it a Trial myself. Here the result made with an old Wood file. Put alu or copper tape (shiny side up) partially on it and rubbed it down and over with a rubber erasor, I must say, very good idea of yours.. Nils

Thank you Bedford, I am very happy that this model found so much Attention from fellow modellers Nils

Nice looking coppering Bob, are those tiles ponced by yourself ? (using tape) Nils

David, the relaunch of the Pamir in 1957 Version took two years, from keellaying to browsing down the slipway Nils

Hello fellow members, this is not against anyone who likes or purchased this probably nice DVD, but I have a Little bad tast on my toungue when seeing Promotion being made for taking Money for things that should gladly be free to members on MSW. In my opinion it is against the Spirit of this wonderful MSW Forum. I invite the authors of the DVD to join in to this comunity and to participate in this great international Web-site Nils

Micheal, I love the lines of your cutter, it has a Little bit of the classic famous "gothic" style, narrow and deep what they called "plank on edge" and one of my favourites would be the "Genesta". here a pic from the web. Like B.E. I also am very fond of your lovely Workshop... Nils

David, you must tell me what you shall be seeing clearly in about a week (mmmmh.. I probably got it wrong or... ?) Nils

Marc, Thank you, those were very nice words, and it encourages and honours me very much. Let me answer your questions as follows.... All metal work (winches etc.), is from scratch, except for the wire spanners, and the smallest portholes. I also liked the appeal of the Pitchpine deck Woods, it Looks realistic and gives such a lovely warm tone. In my career it was common to use handscetches for quick explainations within Meetings etc.. My Background is Maschinenbau-Ingenieur and Schweissfachingenieur. (mechanical Engineering) Some do`nt like figures on models, but I feel they can bring some life to the model. The fabric is thin fine cottoncloth "Nesselstoff" I found at IKEA. No Problem with sewing at all. As Long as the space Problem in my home does not get worse, The Pamir shall decorate my Hobby Office, for the time after that I have`nt made up my mind yet. Marc, enjoy the coming two last parts, to be issued probably for tomorrow Nils

Bob, Thank you for your appreciative words, it took me about 1950 manhours spread over 2 years, many of the Trials done to get certain techniques pushed on I could share with my tallship model of the "Gorch Fock 2", the riveted plating was already experianced on The "Heinrich Kayser steamship" and transferred to both tallships, otherwise it would have probably taken additional 2-3 months Nils

Here is a scetch I forgot to bring in before.... Closing the hollow Ends of the Yards Nils
