Right, and thanks Antony, I have a bunch of ideas still to integrate into my version. Momentarily I`m doing some trials with a set of sweeps, that will pass through the oar ports (as demo) in the stb. bulwark, but only on one side. BTW, as you showed interest for a nice trade junk build, I have this link of a seagoing Hainan junk model of 1834 for you that I found on the web some days ago. Its built exactly from the plans I am going for, I find it looks awesome and so well built..., trust you shall like it as well... http://www.modelships.de/seagoing-junk/seagoing-junk.htm Nils

Thank you very much Christos, Piet and Antony, for your kind appreciations... Also many thanks to the "likes" for clicking on... Christos, I searched at Ebay for a 3D size suitable necklace-charme that could fit either in right or left mode.... Piet, no "antique sawing" in this case, I was happy that I need`nt do any carving on it... Antony, thanks for your kind words, I`m glad you like it... Basically its still after the enlarged Amati plan, but with individual fitting out and some changes... Nils

Update :... fitted decore fries and handrail on the stb. poop deck. The solution with the soldered brass pins works out quite well.... Also fitted a handrail all around the gun deck Nils the mermaid is holding a starfish in hands. What looks like she is having two horns are the remains of the charms hanging / holding loop. I use this for fastening the top to the cap rail...., providing more stiffnesss

Thanks for your input on this Denis, yes, it would be an alternative to drill holes through the poop deck bulwarks...., I`ll keep that in mind... Nils

Many thanks Antony, you are encouraging me to use them... I`m thinking of a way to fasten the decore rails, maybe with soldered against brass pins, that at the same time hold the cap-rail in place.... Nils

Thanks John, I think the ornamental brass rails may be a tiny bit too high, because there will be 2 swivel guns on on each side with timber posts mounted from the inside to the railiing, so that they can swivel over the cap rail. I`ll leave the hights as they are though. Front side of the poop deck there will also be 2 swivel guns mounted, in combination with a ballustrade.... Nils

Update : I still had some brass srtipes with fancy decore, I found on Ebay some months ago. Trust they will be stylish right for the Chebec. Now they can come to use on the rail of the poop deck, with a wooden rail on top. Not mounted yet, just dry fit, to see how it looks.... Nils

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
