Thanks for sharing your tip Ray, those coils look really fine indeed Nils -
Wonderful work Ed, that iron strapping is an interesting Feature I never saw documented before, has that realy been done on the actual ship? it must have provided immense strength to the hull at all times, not only in battle. Your joining work is also very clean acurate and impressive, nice to look at Nils

Hi Mates and Ladymates, I have a question: I am intending to post some handscetches that I scaned in in . JPG Formate and saved on my PC. These scans each are all well less than 2MB and not more than 10 a time, but when choosing them (to add to post) the posting preparation crashes. Does anybody perhaps know why ? because I have non such issues with regular .JPG Photos Thanks Nils

Thank you Mark Nils

Thanks Bob thats a good question I have to think back how I did (do) it.... I mainly use wooden laundry clamps large and small ones, even if I am soldering per gastourch. The clamps easily catch fire sometimes, but I just blast the flame out then, Need some new clamps now and then... On the other Hand it gets a bit more complicated if many small items have to be soldered after one another, actually building up the final part by adding (eg : all the jackstays eyelets to the Yards). There I use "heatsuckers", metal masses, next to the Areas where the heat (flame)is to be brought in quick and concentrated, in order not to loosten already soldered Joints again. Nils Nils

Thanks for stopping Micheal, many of the Digit pics have been over 2 MB, so I had to reduce the size before posting, but you are right, I trust they still remain well representative for visual exploring... Cheers Nils

Ken my experience is : sand the planking to smooth and step free condition sweep off the dust with a brush thorrowly and also by using a clean Cloth apply 2 coats of nitro based clear Wood primer, (Nitro Einlassgrund)that drys within 3 minutes leaving a dull smooth shiny but dense Wood surface. No sanding afterwards !!! That is the best surface base for applying the tape Nils
