  1. Crackers, B.E., Mark, Thank you all for those appreciative comments, I feel very honoured that my model is so much liked, there were times when I thought that the rigging would never end an I should have left away at least the sail relevant running rigging. Nils
  2. Hi Rob, the plates are all self made...., there is a Brief Demonstration how I did it, If you would like to see at the end of Build log part 2 for my "steamship Heinrich Kayser" in Topic scratch built models in Progress. There I used exactly the same procedure as for Pamir Nils
  3. Congrats to your very well done model Panagiotis, the model hull design was a bit strange to me in the beginning, but therefore such highly interesting to follow. You seem to know exactly what you are doing. A great build !! Thanks for sharing this beautiful model log Nils

  5. Alexander, a "Masterpiece" is being created under your skilled Hands !! Well done Nils
  6. That is absolutely correct Bob, I have been told that the Young lads had to learn by heart the Location of every single belaying Point so that even in the dark nobody would by mistake loosten the wrong line, which could be fatal for safety and lives Nils
  7. Stuart, a great build and a pleasure to watch your log, shall stay tuned Nils
  8. correct Steve, so we both go for "learning by doing".... cheers Nils
  9. Build log part 37 self explaining, this and the two next pics now nearly ready for the sails set but first I have to begin the glass case the brass engraved nameplate, this shall go into the glasscase, attached on brackets before I move on to the sail making part, I have a set of Pictures taken with daylight ilumination which turns out a much better Quality than the hobbyroom lights. It shall show the ship ready to take on the sails. After that set of Pictures, I shall Show the results of my own sail making (and sewing) Trials, because I found nobody that would do it for me...
