Such neat splices! Beautifully done, Johann.

Are you able to rig in your sleep by now, Rob? Beautiful work, as ever.

Re-dos: The mark of a true model-maker. Good on you, Bob! You'll be glad you revised the rigging. There should be a little stretch in the shrouds to allow you to align them.

Do read the planking articles posted on this site!

Sorry to read of your health issues, Dan. Hopefully you will be able to shake the last symptoms off soon. Nice forensic work using those photographs. Take care of yourself first!

To prevent 'hourglassing' the shrouds due to over-tightening ratlines, do every fifth ratline first, then every third and lastly the remaining ones. It's easier to control the tension that way.

Well done, Bob. Those home-made eyebolts look fine.

Good for you doing that surgery, Marc. If you make an angled bend at the corner of the beakhead bulkhead, would that not give a straight run to the back of the figure?

Just catching up with your work. Superb rendering!

And I thought that the yard was seen from behind so that the stirrups were correctly hung! Well, what do I know? Nice anchor stocks. Are they the right way around? Now I doubt all that I see.

Rob, I hate to cavil (groan), but the lay of your rope on the deckhouse looks very loose.

Looking great, Giampiero. You are as adept with metal as you are with wood!

Certainly British Naval gun carriages were not iron shod: only land-based guns were. Whether the French did the same, I do not know.

Ye gads! That looks like a medieval torture instrument, Kevin. It should simply scare the plank into shape! Ingenious.

Nice photos and looks like a great trip, Marc. Hopefully you can move those pesky heads inboard a bit!

Thanks for your comments on Canson paper., Eberhard. I've never seen Iris/Vivaldi over here' only the much heavier, through-dyed paper which is excellent for colored pencil work. Hopefully you will stay healthy now....

Hmm. The dictionary definition of 'cavil' is....

One can build models with very few basic tools, it just takes longer! The magnificent models of 300 years ago were built entirely with hand tools. The main thing is to know how to sharpen edge tools properly and when to use which one. Yes, power tools are nice to own and speed up certain operations, but....

Hopr you are back up to speed now, Eberhard. That virus is no fun, even if you are fully vaccinated. That planking is something at that small scale. One question though: Canson paper (at least the kind that I know and use for art) has one side smooth but the other side is heavily textured. Isn't this an issue at micro scale size?

Complete with condenser! Too much, Chris!!!

Enjoy your new toy, Gary!
