Robert your work is absolutely stunning !
never seen such before, thanks so much for sharing
I Knew from "bone-ship" exponates in Museums sometimes said to be built by prisoners some centuries ago, because they had no other material in their dungeons.
Your art and skill with this material is unbelievable. You shall have a real treasure you can be proud of !

it is somehow like renovating a bargain bought old house, the more you tear down, the more difficult the decision when to stop. I`m sure you shall find the required Balance and bring the bounty to new blossum....

Hi Robert
first of all thanks for sharing your "bone-art", it`s so amazing and excellant work I would love to see more Pictures of the Details. To say it with Edgar Wallace.... "The ace with the carving knife"
Absolutely well done Robert !!
Your Little introduction Story of the upset neighbors is really something for Edgar Allen Poe stuff, could imagine that would do well for a real humoristic charmant TV Episode

Hello Michael,
thanks for your reply on the NSR.
Relating to the Pamir scratch build you`ll find more in your priv. email
So Long
Nils
Hello Scratchy,
thanks for sending a Picture of an other Elbing. I knew that one from my researches allready, but it`s far smaller.
The former Elbing resp. Heinrich Kayser was built in 1898 allready had two funnels and two times twin Boilers in Tandem Arrangement. At that time they made 12 knots cuising Speed !! Was serving the german Australien route for many years, round the cape of good hope or through zues chanal.

Kester,
your Sherbourne in every detail is real eyecandy, also the White Sub waterline finish combined with the clinker planking, in all a very impressing build

Hello Michael,
suggest that you drop a PM to me containing your home address and I can arrange for a CD to be burnt (appr. 570 MB)and sent to you by regular post.
Just by the way...I see from your favorite interests that you are member of Society for Nautical Research....etc... with it`s associates.
I have been investigating a few years allready in an issue of the foundering of a 5600 tons steamship of which my grandfather was commander at the time she went down without a trace, way back in early december 1922 when there was a full gale in the northern Atlantic appr. 500 miles off the east US Virginia coast.
The mearchant Steamer was The former "Elbing" at that time renamed to "Heinrich Kayser" .
I have been studying historical US newspaper Artikels. Perhaps your Society may have Information on either "Elbing" she was acc. to the Versailler treaty one of the many ships under command of the British Ship Controller from 1919 to 1921, or the "Heinrich Kayser" At the time of her foundering she was owned by a german (Hamburg based) shipping Company and leased by the Gans shippng Company newyork
In honour to my (unfortunately Alltimes unknown) grandfather a built a to my knowledge probably only existing model of the "Heinrich Kayser"

If this is your first kit Richard,
you are definately on the right way. The Story goes.... learn by doing..., am waiting for the build log to continue, The scale you are challenging (1:124) is not easy but you`re doing well, Keep the good work up !

Hi Nils,
I advise that you do the rudder before anything else. You really should have done it long ago, as the hull will need to be turned upside-down to drill several of the bolt holes more easily - it can be done the right way up, but it's a lot more difficult.
Danny
Hi Danny,
just a Little Feedback as to your reminder (thanks again) advice with the time of rudder mounting. Have meantime mounted the rudder but did coppering for Rudder and hull first in order to to do hinge strappings on the copper. Had no Trouble with handling the hull, not even any broken off 0,5mm drill for all those mini holes in the straps.

Hello Michael.
I found myself in the same Situation 2 years ago, searching for Input, plans, Pictures, etc. of the Pamir.
It was my aim to do a scratch build Version (not a kit) of this 4 mast barque in exact the Version in wich she foundered with a tragic loss in lives way back in 1957.
I have to date a complete model in scale 1:96, plank on Frames with resembled riveted metal plating, full rigging, full sails "braced to the shrouds". feel free to contact me, if you should be interested in Pictures of the build
