Omega1234 got a reaction from Piet in Syborn by popeye the sailor - FINISHED - 1:33 - trawler
Hi Denis
It's great to see you back into Syborn, again. And...as Kees has said, the overall shots show just what a marvellous job you're doing. A true little gem, I'd say.
You must be getting really close to finishing her off. Have you got a display case all sorted for her?
Cheers
Patrick

Thanks Denis
Really appreciate that. Yep, you're right, though. The cabins are TINY. I'm really beginning to wonder just what I've gotten myself in for, because there's not a hell of a lot of detail that I can add in them...but I'll try my best.
Oh well, at least I'm having heaps of fun (and satisfaction). Can't ask any more than that, I guess!
Have a great week.
Cheers

thanks Kees.........and all who hit the like button. I wish I had done more, but the sizing of the portholes might not have been a good thing, if I had assembled the nets before hand. there is not much else that requires me not to add them now. the portholes need the window maker.......and then the aft deck can be done. drat! I still need to get new ink cartridges!

I really like the total picture of your trawler. The detaills give it a very nice realistic finish

man those rooms are tiny! I see you already have the closets shelved off. it will be interesting to see what feng shui you add to them. I hope to draw some of your style for one of my builds
really cool stuff....awesome job!

Hi folks
A quick update for you all - Shadow's interior accommodation continues to grow, albeit slowly. So far, I've been concentrating on building the layout of all the cabins located within the Bilge, Lower and Main decks. Getting these in the correct locations is vital, otherwise, the various staircases connecting the decks would be askew. Trust me, that would not be a good look!
Oh well, there's still heaps of fun to go.
Have a great week, everyone!

Omega1234 got a reaction from cog in Statenjacht Utrecht by Angarfather - 1:36
Hi Angafarther
Lovely! She's actually more akin to a work of art, with all of its carvings and colours, than a boat.
I like it.

Nils, I wish I could find old pictures of my boat being built as you did of yours. And then you post them and say they are your build. I won't tell.
She's a great build with unbelievable detail.

Just an incredible amount of detail on her, Nils. Very inspiring.

Many thanks Bob and Mark,
for your kind compliments....
Also thanks to all who clicked the "like this" button...
Bob,
the idea is not bad Bob, look out when I start posting black and white photos of the build you should get suspicious.....
Mark,
I have studied the old photos I could find and am thankful for the details I was able to make out. Who knows, perhaps one day there might be a kit of this model, or at least a good plan

Sorry to hear about the illness, hope it passes quickly, and you can spend some more time at your bench.
The image with the open rear deck certainly appeals to me more than the enclosed one. I'm looking forward to your progress. With regards to your (I) beams e.a. you do not need a foundry, get some brass sheet and strips and make your own ... smelting makes such a mess ...

Omega1234 reacted to Jim Lad in SS Mariefred by captainbob - 1:96
I think she looks nicer with that open rear deck, Bob - very elegant!

Hooray, I finally did it. Try, try again they say, so I did. I ended up throwing the first three tries away, but I kept the fourth. The part is the little deck house on the lower rear deck. You can just see a part of it in one picture, but luckily the plans are of the boat as built in 1903. Some time ago the deck house was removed and the rear area of the lower deck was enclosed all the other pictures of the Mariefred show her this way. I just went back and looked at the pictures I posted earlier and they are all of the more recent boat. So here is a picture of the Mariefred as I will be building her.

Started copper - just pics tonight. Don't know if I like it or not. Still has to be sealed which will knock brightness off of it.
Details tomorrow.
Opinions?
Suggestions? (giving up boats is not an option - LOL!)

Hi Nils
Once again, I'm totally blown away with what you've been able to achieve. The work is so finely detailed, yet perfectly in-scale. Just amazing!
What's even more surprising is the photo with your giant fingers in the way. Just that photo alone, emphasises how small the individual parts are.
Amazing!
Cheers
