Mirabell61 got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Eagle of Algier 1753 by Mirabell61 - FINISHED - 1:48 - Chebec - Nils Langemann
Hi Ken,
thank you for looking in and for your kind words, much appreciated...
I`m pleased you like it...
The scale 1:48 is the maximum for a chebec model I can deal with length wise, and also the hight is at the limit, due to the extention of those large yards

Christos,
one of the men stays at the beach and looks after the pinnace. He stays sober hopefully and is equiped with a can of frech squeezed orange juice.....

Thank you very much Patrick,
the ideas come along as the build progresses, sometimes even ahead, and you`re right its fun to work on solutions for ideas,..... my luck, hardly something went to the bin and so there is no frustration coming on, but I guess you are experiencing the same, for example with your "Shadow" (an endless chain of fun with realized ideas)

Update....
I decided to place the pinnace, occupied with some crew members outside and next to the ship. This provides a bit more action and makes the project live.....
The pinnace and its holding support can be removed from the stand-plate at any time. Waterline of pinnace and chebec are corresponding
Nils
these guys will row to the nearby shore and visit the Taverna in the harbour
rowing arrangement for "staggered" mode
4 oars will do....

I finally got a chance to do the finish pictures on this model. the light on the main table isn't good enough.......I really need to set up a better lighting system. there basically isn't much more to add to the log, except that it was a fun build, and that the kit holds many opportunities to enhance the finished model. it was also very interesting to delve into the background of the coaster........I'm still not totally in the know, but it was neat to find out how the equipment worked. I did get to add somewhat of a sort table......but room on deck was getting tight and I didn't get to add the net un-raveller. I'm sure there was more that could be added; perhaps one day, I might clone one more hull from the Mary Ann templates, and semi-scratch another of these vessels. with a bit more consideration of the deck layout, I think more can be done. thanks to all of you who followed along, and liked this project....I appreciated all the kind comments and suggestions.
there are a few other pictures........they can be seen in the gallery. thanks again for look'in in!
