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 Nils

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 Nils

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" Nils

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. Nils

Outstanding model Nick wonderfull build and superb Details, I also liked your Network (link) but what an effort !.... you sure know what it takes to produce eyecandy... Nils

Hi Kay, thanks for reply, what you are doing is utmost interesting, I can`t wait to see more as you go along. The carvings in Wood are stunning and allmost unbeleavable if I would`nt have read your comments, well done Kay... !! Nils -
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 Nils

Very nice Kay ! did you do the carving decorations on your own or do they come along with the kit ? I like it very much. A bit unusual but interesting way of doing the first planking between the bulkheads, it saves you thickness of the total planking build up on the Frames and provides a more true outside Skin. well done, and Keep the Pictures coming in..... Nils -
Hi Andy great build so far, I like the comments you give as to better Access when rigging the lower shrouds,etc, pls. do`nt hesitate to further comment your thoughts as you go along, I`ll Keep tuned with great interest Nils
-
Jean-Pierre, very nice the way you tune the kit to adopt all your improvements. It Looks very good, Keep those Pictures coming in, an not so popular shipmodel, but it is the one of the many "spices in the Fleet" presented by MSW Nils

Jean-Pierre, I unfortunately can`t help with the dutch Name, but it`s a very interesting and nice built ship you are showing, would like to see more Nils
