  1. This was a wonderful build log to follow with excellent results! Congratulations Hakan! I am looking forward to your next project. Thomas
  2. Patrick, that is a real nice precision job! It looks beautiful! Thomas
  3. Thank you, Jason and Patrick! Next time I will try to use images with a higher resolution 🙂 Thomas
  4. Beautiful built, BE! And your progress is amazing . . . Thomas
  5. Wow! I actually have difficulties to really imagine the size of this rifle rack. Thomas
  6. Patrick, there is really nothing special I do for serving with silk thread. If you don't fix the serving at the ends it will unravel. However, a little CA glue or if you know the length of your served rope feeding the silk thread through the rope at the ends will easily do the job. Thomas
  7. This is really nice work, BE! The cover idea makes a big difference. Thomas
  8. Bob and Harshil, thank you for your kind comments! And thanks for all the likes! Harshil, for seizing the blocks I use served rope. I serve the rope with a 100wt silk thread which leads to a very smooth surface. I did this the first time when rigging the carronades and liked the look of it 🙂 Thomas
  9. A little update . . . I made the travelers (imgs 1 to 3). The leather lining was simulated with a layer of silkspan painted with leather paint. The jibboom was lashed to the bowsprit (img 4), the flying jibboom was mounted and the various blocks added. Imgs 5 to 8 show the blocks and the simulated round seizing. Img 9 presents the current state of the bowsprit assembly. Thomas Image 1 Image 2 Image 3 Image 4 Image 5 Image 6 Image 7 Image 8 Image 9
  10. I finally moved into rope making, too, using Chuck's recipe and rope Rocket. After a little experimentation the results turned out very satisfactory. Between our dining table and a little Black& Decker work bench I can easily make ropes of about 25' (see picture). Although it was much easier to just buy the finished high quality ropes form Chuck 😊 Thomas
  11. Thank you, this formula is most helpful! Thomas
  12. Superb work! And your photography is amazing . . . on some of those images it is really difficult to tell whether you are looking at the real ship or a model 🙂 Thomas
  13. My next model will be a POF model. It would be wonderful to have some good choices! But first I need to get my Syren finished 😉 Thomas
  14. Beautiful work! In my opinion a nicely executed wooden ship's wheel makes a big difference to a ship model. Thomas
  15. Wonderful work, Mike! Your oven looks like you could start preparing dinner on it right away 🙂 Thomas
  16. I love your galleries! They are so much better than the kit provided stuff! Thomas
