Mirabell61 got a reaction from riverboat in Model Ship Building Secrets Dvd
Nigel,
my comment was neighther me"having a go at you" personally or anybody else on this Forum as I pointed out first Thing, nor have I "acused" you for having a Connection to the DVD pruducers. So why make a fuss of it ? On the other Hand it is and stays my opinion that the spirit of this Forum is of give and take, for tips, help sucessful practiced techniques, etc, and for sharing all this with others without cashing from fellow members. Everybody of course should have his or her own opinion and is always welcome and free to do so.
Sorry if this has caused confusion between us.
If you agree, we shake Hands and enjoy our Weekend...
Cheers
Nils

Build log part 9
this is the last part of this build,
although the are some Little things I would like to add, or to Change next time I open the glass case
I was quite happy that the glass case fitted exactly on the wardrobe it is Standing on
the brass data plate is fitted within the case
Impression of the plating bow area
and Stern area
this Position is concentrating, nearly interfearing on railing, funnel stay, steering chain, Davit tackle, but all is properly fastend to it own tackle point
foredeck is a nice Meeting place for Young couples
foreseen anchoring place
the depth marking is made with regular Mirosoft Excel and to be printed out on one side adhesive transparent foil, or on Photopaper. Shall save this up to the next opening of the glass case, when the sternlight is also to be changed from green to White.
I hope the presentation of my Bohuslän build log was liked, even though the framing, planking and hull building was not shown in this case due to lack of photos

Four more stern decorations have been added. The little figures with the dolphins are not much bigger that my thumb nail and I think I may be permanently cross-eyed now from working on them!

The gun port liners are almost done, but to break up the monotony I started working on the decorative frames for the upper gun ports. The starboard side is finished and I'm almost finished the port side.

this Hand sewing of yours is amazing, so accurate and precise every stitch the same distance and the fastening of the bolt rope tops all...
Well done !!

Mirabell61 reacted to Dfell in HM Brig Supply by Dfell - FINISHED - Caldercraft / JoTiKa - 1:64
Thank you for looking in and your comments, Amfibius.
I think I have finally finished !!!
Have made up a deck pump from a combination of one from Caldercraft and an Amati one. Although I still have another one to do I may not fit them on the ship as there is really no space - gets a bit tight. The handle had a bit of walnut strip added both sides and sanded round otherwise it would have been flat brass.
Anchors fitted.
Rounded lump added for the sling to sit on - plus having been very impressed by Beef Wellington's (Jason) serving thought I'd have an attempt on the slings.
Final photo
Thank you for looking and and all the comments and those on the old site whose build of the Supply helped me get started. Hopefully I may have helped someone in return.
Again thank you
Regards
Doug

Joe,
the compressed building time was appr. 1,5 years but because many of the started parts have been laying around idle in boxes, on cupboards, it spread over a period of at least 10 years, it was nearly forgotten by myself

Thanks David

thank you Bob,
I got her out of the dark when I was looking for an object to do Trial metal plating on. I was satisfied with the result and transfered the technique to the other follow builds. At that time I recognized what a gem that old Lady was, and I decided, it was definately worth finalising her. Many of the original kit parts had gone lost, the Panels for cutting out the small parts were wavy, but the lifeboats I built in the early beginning, and they were carefully wrapped and secured in a drawer in my bedroom, and I still had the overview drawing
