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

Build log part 23 some more impressions on the mast work soldering the jackstays to the jib boom some paint to the masts and beginning with the upper shrouds some of the Yards tackled with blocks Yard rack and bearing device Build log part 24 to follow..... 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

Harvey, thank you for your appreciative words... I have a whole Shelf full of Pamir related books but for that one I shall be on watchout, Thanks for you tip 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

Thank you John Nils

Bob, I thank you 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....

David Thank you David where there is the challange, it finds away, or so...somehow is the saying... it is probably a bit like the Little Boy who goes down to the Creek with a simple bamboo fishing stick, afterwards going home with his trouts for the families supper meal, whilst others are still sitting patiently at the river (do`nt take it seriously mate, smile... ) Nils

Build log part 21 most of the mainmast-work can be done tripple wise These are the slide shoes for mounting the yardracks to (enabling 3D movement of the Yards) all soldering is done with the gastourch here in order to have sufficient heat These eyelets have to be soldered ver thorrowly, due to the tensile stresses of the stays all elevations and distances in hight have to be crosschecked several times in order to get the sails later rigged in the appropriate hoisted and / lowered position mars top Build log part 22 to follow....

Build log part 20 here starts some of the work on masts, Yards,bow sprit, bumpkins, made of brass, etc... all These parts of the actual Pamir were hollow steel tubes made from round bent and riveted steel plates starting with the fourth (mizzen) mast the third main mast (tapering by shafting different diam. tubes), Topgallant platform lower mars top platform the oval breakthrough in the mast, below the topgallant platform takes the rollerwheel for the Yard hoist chain the vertical moveable yardracks are later mounted to These slide shoe devices (movable Yards) there are 3 vertical moveable Yards on each mainmast, the other three are only swivable, fixed to horizontal and tiltable movement Basic fastening anchoring for the lower top shrouds. Started to attach the hundreds of eyelets by soldering to their required positions Build log part 21 to follow Nils

Thank you John, I thought they would look best by making them from individual metal components and functional. An alternative would have been metal cast winches, but I find they always look "casty" and are much too expensive in appropriate Quality and scale Nils

Glenn I have made quite good experience in using copper-tape as David is describing, and using a poncewheel as you mentioned, and it conforms to the hulls curves very well. If you do the copper stripes in a way of e.g. 4 or 5 "resembled plates" at a time. (length of stripes) you should be finished before you are old. And a Major Advantage is you are not Messing around with CA, ruining your fingertips...., because of well sticking tape instead. The ponced copper surface can be flattend off a bit afterwards, before the tape strips are put on. Have a look below and see what I mean Nils
