Unglaublich schöne Arbeit Johann, incredible work !!! Nils

Hello Geert, yes , they surely would also fit very well to the Zeesboot, I`ll evaluate that when it comes to the rigging.. Nils
-
Thank you very much Mustafa, and for looking into the build log... I had a look at your Santa Maria, coming very nicely.... Nils
-
Very nice block making Geert ! Nils
-
Both wonderful pictures Jim. they look splendid Nils

Thank you Pete, I`m pleased you like the fitting out so far. I think that in those days both hand cranked- and also battery starter were used. I have a starter unit attached to the engine housing, looks like I would need a battery also. The black round rubber (as hose) will fit into the hollow nozzles of pump discharge and hose end-nozzle. Oh yes, the oily rag, a good idea...., these small details bring life to the workboat ! Nils

Thanks again for the link Eberhard, I found and ordered some black rubber (Hutschnur) 1,2 mm round on Ebay, hope it will work , and report the outcome later this week Nils
-
Many thanks Eberhard, I agree, PVC is not suitable here, so eyes open for rubber or silicone, and the idea with the soldering tin-wire is a good alternative Nils

Thank you very much Jason, much appreciated, I built in the fuel day-tank with removable cap and chain under the engine bonnet. For the main storage tank, also installed on board, (drum) there is now a hand fuel pump, a hose and a discharge nozzle for filling the day tank Nils the hose is a bit stiff, see if I can get one more flexible day fuel tank fixed to the upper, inner front side of the bonnet

Wunderbar Joachim ! I just came across your lovely buildand am very much impressed about your handcraft skills. Those sails are top notch, I`m wondering how you got the different colors in the reinforcement patched areas, A very nice model Nils

thank you Pete, this weekend my wife and I are attending the necessary garden works, which I have been postponing for far too long...., also I have been running out of excuses, too hot, too windy, too wet, aching back, etc. Now, that the weather is just right, I have done the basic cut to all the hedges in different hights and thereby saved o lot of money that would have gone to a gardener crew instead..., We have a large number of big green sacks filled with hedge cut and other garden greencut standing under our carport, waiting to be transported to the garden waste yard, see if someone would lend me his trailor in the coming week...

Good morning Allan, Many thanks for looking in yes, I wanted to build a tallship, and was evaluating between "Gorch Fock" 3-mast bark, and "Pamir" 4-mast bark. In the end I built both, whereby my "Pamir" is representing the version in which she foundered, with only 6 young men surviving that tragic loss way back in 1957.... Greetings from Glinde, in Germany Nils
-
Allan, your ropes look great !! Nils
-
Status : gasoil storage drum (handpump still to come), and anti fouling coating.... Directly attached over the engine or at its side there will be smaller fuel day-tank, not yet shown here... Nils 20 mm round dowel, 3 mm brass bandages, two stand supports, enblem printed on photo paper I chose red antifouling, dull silk appearence

Dirk, Thank you very much for posting this link, the pics are only for members though, I saw the fantastic model by a member, (Victory 78 ), of a different German forum, in the preparation phase, before I started mine, and at latest then, was amoung other reasons totally encouraged to build this boatstype myself.... Nils

Hi Jason, I`m delighted to study your well built HMS Diana and enjoyed your progress to date, keep it going... also very nice pics... Nils
-
Hi Denis, thank you so much for your appreciative words, I`m very pleased that you like it... The credit for the hatches ( for bilge access) goes to Wefalck , he gave the idea to do them at all, I did the how to do.... Nils
-
Thank you very much Geert, is your gaff day boat sailor also going to be clinkered ? Nils
-
Status : I started my luck in painting the white waterline stripe. I know its a tricky task on the clinkered Hull, whos done it before will know what I mean. If viewing from horizontal waterline level the stripe will be straight, if at an angle the white paint line on the strakes will be more or less a bit "zick zack" on the steps. Next will be to mask off the white line with Tamiya tape and get the underwater red or green coat (resembling the antiouling) Nils
