Nils, Search for Litz, or Litze wire in electronics shops: https://audioverse.de/produkt/21-awg-up-occ-wire-litz-wire Usually they made from very thin, sub-0.05 mm wires, sometimes thinner than human hair. -
Hi Bill, let's ask Dafi. As far as i know the depicted sail set weared during battle, warships were kept their mainsails furled to let the deck clean and to minimize shrapnel damage. Anyways, this is a small Revell modell of Victory with its styrene sail set.

Here is the link Kevin, but they didn't say more about the builders. Another one, this is a bit more detailed in German, unfortunately the pictures aren't shown there. Google translator worked for me (i know German a little however)

This is a brilliant idea Bill! I will reuse it on my forthcoming Bounty

Thank you Bill. I never user Vallejo acryllics, but will give them a try. Usually i paint with Humbrol enamels and Tamiya acrylics. I like washing with natural thinners, mostly artistic refined turpentine.

Very good looking anchors Bill. What colors did you use for the wood?

Hi Richard, The servo will have other duties as well? I mean like the following: if the rudder reaches 3/4 of its way, a contact point turns the thruster motor on. In this case i'd use reed (magnetic) relays for switch the motor on-off, and a tiny magnet for trigger.

Definitely do the rigging. You made the ship with great detail and weathering, must add rigging not just for accuracy but this add life to the model. I would use an elastic thread, easy to work with it.

Hi Patrick, how the keel will be installed? It will be an addednum after the planking, or will it be the first?

Look gorgeous Bill. At this scale it is totally good, don't hesitatae to use or not.

Hi Dave, I built my Vasa some 30 years ago with superglued ratlines, because i found the knots in 1:144 scale way too big. They didn't failed at all. So i think i will follow that path on my Pamir too.

Sometimes i have a feeling that we were sailing together in the past Except we had only 3 canvas, and one of them is the Spinnaker, the rest is so familiar.

Here in Budapest 13 Celsius, 55 Fahrenheit was the peak. In morning it was 5 C 41 F. Pretty warm though, the usual should be around -2/28. Wish you guys Merry Christmas!

Let me guess Valery, this is another model from you? Looks like a second class torpedo boat from a battleship, i seen similar boats on Panteleimon/Potemkin and Retvizan.

Keith, Eve is a lovely boat for a lovely owner! My concern is the keel, what material it is? If thats wood, you might want to add some ballast to its bottom, to avoid capsize and tears. I did not said anything, if thats a piece of tin or something. I will try to dig up my heritage 'scharenkreutzer' from 1946 to make some pic.

Braided ropes still in use today, although not hemp but nylon, and not only 3 line but 6 or 8. https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.americanrope.com%2Fpub%2Fmedia%2Fcatalog%2Fproduct%2Fcache%2Fd3ceb0298ce06b26d9e80afba584030f%2Fa%2Fn%2Fanchor_rodes_8strand_800_6.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.americanrope.com%2Frope%2Fanchor-rodes.html&tbnid=X6vJkL8Iieeh1M&vet=12ahUKEwi6tfas2_j7AhX087sIHcoGCcQQMyhaegUIARCMAQ..i&docid=50IWRblxZN8tqM&w=300&h=300&q=historical braided anchor rope&client=firefox-b-d&ved=2ahUKEwi6tfas2_j7AhX087sIHcoGCcQQMyhaegUIARCMAQ

Hi Keith, doubled jib sheets aren't unusual on racing yachts. Primarily it is for adjust the shape of the jib (the luff) by modifying the tension point, but it also helps to change tack faster.
