Build log part 31 using ordinary string to simulate the shroud wires best fit and spaces (get even spacing for neat ratlines) here gaff sail booms of the mizzen mast put ratlines to the 2nd Level shrouds, I am getting a bit worried about if there would remain enough space to fit the running rigging, and to sheave to the deck blocks well, next to having Access to all the pin belaying in this scale 1:96 ... the chains go through the mast (integrated rollers)one end connected to the vertical hoistable Yards, the other end connected to the appropriate tackles and the wormgear winches the backstay wires go through the gallant platforms guide holes the Forward boats go behind the backstays, the skids and cradles still to be mounted on the supports although the welldecks hardly have spare spaces, there remains still sufficient room for the Crew at work the Tackling for the third mast bracing rig goes to the poopdeck pinrack via this bumpkin and its blocks These catwalks provide Swift Crew-transfer from poop to forecastle, due to waist-high railing even in rough weather an espcially with overcoming seas on deck the masts stays are anchored at deck bothsides of the appropriate mast in front Build log part 32 to follow....

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

David, I asume you mean the Overall shiplength and not something else ha ? I measured 120 cm, and for a furcoat we`ll have an eye open when next fleamarket takes place. I bought her a VW beetle already, but she would`nt be happy with that model in 1:48 Thanks for your appreciative words 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
