Update For the deck I had removed the intended pine planking again, changed the pattern arrangement and now mounted a new planking in straight larch wood, planks 4 x 0,8 mm. It went faster than I had thought This looks OK in my opinion and gives a good contrast with the beech wood comings The main mast with gaff and spars and the mizzen mast with boom and spars is also done, but yet without the rigging blocks that are on order Nils the first rough sanding is done. The outcut on the front deck is for sight acess to the storage compartment and the anchor chain The brass anchors at the deckside shall be for mounting the footrail, the dark stained anchors are for taking up the shrouds the gaff to the main mast is rigged preliminary without blocks

Update today I concentrated on the over night catch, Ì`m still looking for some eels in scale 1:24. Made the masts and main gaff,as well as mizzen boom Nils I used a thick viscosity primer both sides to get some "flesh" onto the flat etched fish.... and turned them into Hering, plaice and cods. Am still looking out for some eels in scale 1:24 The fish boxes are also from etched brass sheet the plaice remain white on the bottom side the mizzen mast can be layed down, when the shrouds are released The mizzen boom is hooked in for easy removal The main mast upper gaff is equiped with with a glide shoe, in order to slide up an down the main mast

Daniel, I like the deck with the flush gratings and the sub-deck just below that with the triangle scuppers to the outboard, great details I wonder how the rather long containments beneath the gratings were regulary cleaned and rinsed, it must have developed a smell on the actual ship (seagrass, seaweeds, tang, etc). Maybe the gratings could have been taken up for cleaning Congrats, In all a masterly build Nils

Thank you for your nice words Keith, The next one (Zeesboot) is in progress and to date about 80% completed Nils

Thank you very much Uwe, I worked after the original line- and frame plan that I thankfully received from " Freunde des Lotsenschoners No.5 ELBE e.V". The model though is representing the Pilot Schooner as it was on duty way back around 1900 Nils

Update After quite some months I took up continuation on this build. Older deck planks were removed new planks 1 mm wider are on order and the edge coaming overworked all around. I`m also sampling materials for the rigging again, as some of the blocks had been canibalized for the # 5 Elbe build. The red cotton cloth is for the sails Nils the contact surface of upper planking and deck coaming edge will be covered with a semi round beech profile front view still without deck planking Aft view box with already finished details Cotton sail cloth, some blocks and some leftovers of rope for standing rigging and perhaps bolt rope

Excellent work, congratulations Valerij, I just had a second look log into your cruiser`s log from begin on and am delighted of your skills. Thanks for sharing your techniques here. I love your combination of wood, brass and reinforced raisin with glas fibre. You definately are an artist with brass sheet metal and the soldering of it. The boats and the electro chemical build up of thear skin is fantastic. Nils

Nice work Uwe, its good to see how the 3-D printing method can be of help for tricky details. I like the printed boat halves Nils
