Thanks for visiting my Little shipyard Greg, enjoy the further log parts if you like 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

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

Yes Lou, i use a White coloured resin based primer (otherwise no propper paint adhesion) Nils

Crackers, in general all the "running rigging" was of flexible rope. The "static rigging" like shrouds, stays backstays, Yard lifts, footropes,jib boom stays, the short stopps from Yard nock to the first bracing block, etc. were of wire Nils

Daniel, the poncewheel is selfmade from an old toothwheel from a mantel-clockwork and the handle of an old Paintbrush. If you like, you can refer to my buildlogfor for my steamship Heinrich Kayser at the end of part 2 therein (Topic: scratch built models in Progress) Trust that helps along, otherwise feel free to come through again, I`ll be glad to help Nils

Build log part 22 I should have trimmed the topgallant platform a bit more neatly, or should not have brought this pic.. here the roller in the mast can be seen the diate coke just came Handy... I find working in metal Comes easier than with Wood for mast rigging again one of those Little scetches of mine that accompany through the build, and where I bring my thoughts to paper before the semi metal is cut.., there remains enough for the bin anyhow I think I should post a couple of samples for These scetches for those who are interested in these Looks like I must have a brass-mine somewhere raw Yard with its rack is attached to the mast, that Little string is only a preliminary hold Build log part 23 to follow....
