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.

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
