    Your model is half the scale than my sloop, but I think it will be nearly the same size. I wish you a good start in your shipyard.

    Thanks Hakan. After the build of the half model I planned the next steps. ... but I made a careless mistake during shapeing the stem. In the moment I fix it and than I hope to continue the log

    Really wonderful, Druxey. In 100 years or so (and than I am very very old) I hope that I can also build my models so good.

    Das, as allways fantastic workmanship and a very interesting view into the ship.
  5. AnobiumPunctatum
    I second Michael, really wonderful workmanship.

    Tom, I have the drawings from Alex for the Sphynx and since this week for the Anson. A few years agos before I start my Swan class sloop I thought a longer time to build HMS Sphyx as POF model after Alex drawings, At that time I don't have enough knowledge to reconstruct the frames. I don't know the original drawings so I don't know where he got the information for the swivel gun mounts on his drawing. I don't found information about installed swivel guns in Winfield, but I think that she had them until 1794. At this time the ship got carronades.
  7. AnobiumPunctatum
    In my opinion they are the best source together with the original drawingfor your ship to build a model of this class

    Tom, do you know the fantastic drawings of Alexander for the Sphynx?

    Welcome back and good luck with your third attempt.

    Looks wonderful, Albert, very precise work.
  11. AnobiumPunctatum
    It's not model building, it's an art. Every step so clean and crisp. There I have a lot to learn
  12. AnobiumPunctatum
    Really nice old boat. Well done
  13. AnobiumPunctatum
    This looks really interesting. I've the same kit in my stock and like to change the timber. I'll follow with great interest.
  14. AnobiumPunctatum
    Wonderful pictures and descriptions. I need also a clnker build boat for my sloop. So there is a lot to learn.

    Congrats for a really beautyful model. And thank you very much for your build log. I -and I am sure a lot of other MSW users also- got a lot of information which is very helpful for my own projects. I hope that your will start another project in the near future.

    Congrats, Siggi. I love the coloring of your model. It's exactly what I like to do on my sloop. I hope you show us a lot of pictures of the finished model in her case.

    Nice progress, Jack

    Grant, Ed, Tom, thank you very much.

    Druxey, found your build log this morning. I'll follow your work with great interest and I am sure that I can learn a lot from your log. Thanks for sharing
  20. AnobiumPunctatum
    Thank you very much for the Likes and the nice words.

    Continuing the assembly of the stem.. I used temporarily spacers to fit the Knee of the Head, which is only 10'' thick, to the stem. Next I shaped the Knee of the Head using the info David Antscherl gives in his books. After this I glued the completed assembly to the stem. Therfore I used brass pins and the earlier descriped spacer. At last I shaped the competed stem to the hopefully right thickness. In the moment I work on the lower apron and the rising wood.
  22. AnobiumPunctatum
    Really wonderfull. The old river steamers have an own fascination
  23. AnobiumPunctatum
    Sorry, for the late reply, Jack. I add a picture from a reconstruction drawing of Werner Dammann. It shows a possible viking style figure head for the Gokstad ship. If you have a look at the original in the Oslo museum, you see that stem is also a little smaller than in your model. Werner Damman shows in his wonderful book about the ship also another solution that as far as I know is the most common interpretation

    Congrats for finishing this beautyful Swan Class Sloop. She's looking very nice
  25. AnobiumPunctatum
    Really nice progress and very clean work. The only thing I don't like are the very old styled sterns, which are part of the kit.
