  1. Hello, many thanks for the stimulating comments, and also for the LIKES. The last details on the masts are made. These are hoops around the lower masts with holders for pins, so-called spider bands. The holder was made of brass investment casting. The left fragment of a hoop is a failed attempt. The right hoop looks much better, right?
  2. Hello, thanks for the kind comments. Little progress has been made, but the lower mast coats are completed. For this a picture. I hope you like it.
  3. Hello, meanwhile, I've made some small progress: I turned the supporting bodies for the mastcoats on my Unimat. The tarred canvas I imitate by fine silk that I dyed black with poster paint.
  4. Hello Albert, Your model is an absolute masterpiece. This is model building in its best form. I still have a lot to learn.
  5. Hello Ed, the overall view of the model with the masts is very impressive.
  6. Hello Karl, a really extremely precise detail work. I'm excited.
  7. Hello Michael and Thomas, many thanks for your friendly comments. Enclosed two photos of the model ship with the provisional installed masts.
  8. Hello Patrick, Thank you for your interest and your kind comment. I do not have any accessories for my Unimat. I can show you my Unimat anyway, at which I just turn a lower mast coat. In the background, my mini circular saw can be seen. Also, I still have a FET of Proxxon. @albert @ Mirabell61 Thank you, also you both.
  9. @JOUFF Hello Patrick, many thanks for your nice note. @All Thanks for thumbs up! Today, I report on the final work on the masts. The last rings were installed at foremast. The next three pictures show the finished masts. Beside this are the top masts.
  10. Hello, thanks again. The lower masthead of the foremast is finished.
  11. Hello, Thank you very much for your interest in my work report. I am very happy about the nice comments as well as the LIKES. Today I show the progress on the foremast:
  12. Hello Doris, it's nice to see progress from your fantastic model.
  13. Hello, thanks for your interest and the LIKES. Today I show you the completion of the main mast. The fontfish, the cheeks and the mast hoops were attached. Lastly, an annular holder for belaying pins still has to be made. Each mast receives one of these holders. Per holder requires 10 pieces of belaying pins, thus a total of 30 pieces. This holder is built according to a drawing from the Atlas du Genie maritme, Plate 234, as seen on the following excerpt.
  14. Hello Nils, I have studied your new model building project. I will continue to accompany it with great interest.
  15. Hello Patrick, this is a wonderful model. I admire this work. I also carved a figure as a scale comparison. It is a good thing that you have decided to present your craftwork here.
  16. @JOUFF Hello Patrik, this tool was turned from a brass rod on a lathe. The retaining pins are made of old drills, for example 0,5 mm, since they have corresponding strength. The holes for the retaining pins have to be performed very accurately, otherwise the dead eyes wobbles.
  17. @JOUFF Hello Patrick, sorry, I did not quite understand. The tool I have brought into shape with Proxxon Corundum Cutting Discs, as shown in the figure below. I hope I could help you.
  18. Hello Patrick, I described the production of the dead eyes here LINK in my report. If you have any specific questions, I will gladly answer them.
