  1. Thank you very much Greg and Ed, for your kind compliments, much appreciated... Greg, I think there will still be quite some updates to come, but thanks for your words Ed, I`m very pleased that you like it, and would like to return my admiration for your lovely "Young America" clipper build Also thanks to all the "likes" for clicking the button... Nils
  2. Update Build log part 54 railing has been added to the mid ship platform, and funnel 3 + 4 understructures have the lights fitted. Also all vents and gratings fitted. The upper platform is supported from the lower deck at both outer sides. These supports fit between two davits in order to enable their swing function... Nils foreground (bottom, left) are the boats winches The command bridge area now requires some attention I`m pleased with the progress, its not so very far more to go... the model is comprising 86 vents in different sizes must be thousands of "rivets" holding the plates together... one of the deck-crew taking a rest on the aft anchorchain gear deck curvature can be noticed here...
  3. Very nicely built model of the "Victory" Steve also sails and casing look beautiful, well done !! Nils
  4. Hello Hatrmut, beautiful carvings on your Statenjacht, I like the colors,... looks like in the background the "Gorch Fock" is already being prepared for.... Nils
  5. Congratulaions Patrick ! what a detailed, luxurious cruiser-jacht, never seen a modeler putting so much lovely fitting-out to the interior of his model..... Well done !! Nils
  6. beautiful Work Michael, those jigs and fixtures for clamping and holding down are very professional looking. The davit devices look fantastic ! Nils
  7. wonderful log recovery work B.E., it was very wise to save all those picture files..... Nils
  8. nice work Denis, that bilge pump on deck looks great !! Nils
  9. Hi Greg, thanks for your nice compliment...., yes , several hundred tons of coal per day fed into the boiler`s furnaces sure did leave some enough soot in the exhaust gasses of the funnels... Nils
  10. Hi Rob, with ref. to the ladders (brass, only 3,3 mm wide), the credit goes to Aeronautic model fittings, article AE574002. I used these several years ago on my "Heinrich Kayser" funnels and fortunately still had "leftovers" in sufficient quantity Nils
  11. small update... funnels are complete, painted and eyelets for the 10 guy wires /per funnel attached. Two of the base structures still require the lighting windows on the beveled sides. the resin based buff color for funnels and vents is of "Glasurit", semigloss, called desert sand (Wüstensand) Nils
  12. Hi Denis, I just put her on the bathroom scales, I know thats not exact.... but to give an orientation... 3700 gramms in the moment without the paint-drying funnels.... Nils
