Landlubber Mike Posted February 4, 2018 #2623 Posted February 4, 2018 Nils, so sorry I missed the conclusion of this build. Wow! Really amazing work on this and the other models in your personal museum. Absolutely incredible detail and precision. Your work on such complex curves for models like this, the Pamir and Gorch Fock and really impressive. I also look to your Pegasus log often when working on mine. By the way, your wife is a saint for helping and allowing for such large models to be displayed. When I finished my first model (the Badger), my wife was concerned that I'd fill the house with models. I told her I work so slowly that she won't have to worry about that ever happening. Congratulations again my friend. I just signed up for your Chebec log which is going to be another stunner Mirabell61, mtaylor, popeye the sailor and 1 other 4 Quote Mike Current Wooden builds: Amati/Victory Pegasus MS Charles W.

Mirabell61 Posted February 4, 2018 Author #2624 Posted February 4, 2018 Hi Mike, Thank you very much for your kind words for the conclusion of this build, and of course also for the other builds, for which I saw you had a deep look at. I`m pleased that you liked the models. Yes I`m very happy that my wife agrees, that as long as the models stay in my hobby sphere, its up to me how they are arranged and displayed. For the Chebec very much to my regret I unfortunately have no mooring place yet.

Sir Haydn Posted July 24, 2023 #2625 Posted July 24, 2023 Dear Nils, Even though this forum post is 7 years old, I have a question to ask you. Please could you tell me where did you get the drawings of the cross section of the hull, the rudder part, and the boss arms for the prop shaft. I've looked high and low on the internet and I haven't been able to locate the source of the drawings. I am looking to make my own radio controlled model in 1:200. Sincerely, Sir Haydn. mtaylor and Mirabell61 2 Quote
Mirabell61 Posted October 29, 2023 Author #2626 Posted October 29, 2023 Hi Sir Hayden, I`m very sorry that I did`nt look up quoted posts on this thread regurlary. By doing so I just came across your question per incedence today...... Yes you`re right it was`nt easy also for me to find adequate information on this ship. There has been a digitalisation of old technical journals around year 1900 called Polytechnisches Journal and here I found the information I desired. I`ll give you the link to the Journal, Band overview of the year 1900. There you can go through the list in the link and search for Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse related technical articals with good illustrations for details. This all unfortunately is only in German language I recommend that you click directly in the overview on Seite (page) 1, 39, 53, 71 From this information I had all I needed for planing the build. Besides that I searched the web for pics of the KWdG fitting out and the proportions. Hope this is of help for you, and I wish you good luck and success. https://dingler.bbaw.de/article-listings/pj315.html Regards Nils mtaylor 1 Quote Current builds -Lightship Elbe 1 Completed - Steamship Ergenstrasse ex Laker Corsicana 1918- scale 1:87 scratchbuild - "Zeesboot" heritage wooden fishing small craft around 1870, POB clinker scratch build scale 1:24 - Pilot Schooner # 5 ELBE ex Wanderbird, scale 1:50 scratchbuild - Mississippi Sterwheelsteamer built as christmapresent for grandson modified kit build - Chebec "Eagle of Algier" 1753--scale 1:48-POB-(scratchbuild) "SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse" four stacker passenger liner of 1897, blue ribbond awarded, 1:144 (scratchbuild) "HMS Pegasus" , 16 gun sloop, Swan-Class 1776-1777 scale 1:64 from Amati plan -"Pamir" 4-mast barque, P-liner, 1:96 (scratchbuild) -"Gorch Fock 2" German Navy cadet training 3-mast barque, 1:95 (scratchbuild) "Heinrich Kayser" heritage Merchant Steamship, 1:96 (scratchbuild) original was my grandfathers ship -"Bohuslän" , heritage ,live Swedish museum passenger steamer (Billings kit), 1:50 "Lorbas", river tug, steam driven for RC, fictive design (scratchbuild), scale appr. 1:32 under restoration / restoration finished "Hjejlen" steam paddlewheeler, 1861, Billings Boats rare old kit, scale 1:50
