flying_dutchman2 Posted December 3, 2015 #677 Posted December 3, 2015 Beautifully crafted, details and all. Love how you did the screws.

Mirabell61 Posted December 3, 2015 Author #678 Posted December 3, 2015 Hi Marc, The plan is giving a general (side view) overall sectional drawing and several decks in bird`s view. For building the model I enlarged the former file I borrowed from the web and made it large enough on paper to suit 1:1 model / plan, for the build in scale 1:144 Of course there has to be some design work for establishing the lines- and frameplan, like I described earlier in the build`s posts Nils Omega1234, Piet, flying_dutchman2 and 3 others 6 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

Moxis Posted January 1, 2016 #681 Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) Hello Nils, After having joined this wonderful community for a short while ago I have followed your extraordinary build very carefully. All superlatives have been said already many times and I fully agree with them. However one question has not been answered before, which I have in mind, namely: Which brand of self adhering aluminum tape are you using for plating, and where are you purchasing that? I remember already 50 years ago when building models of WW2 fighters we used to use aluminum foil with riveting made with small gears dismantled from old alarm clocks, but the foil didn't have this self adhering film. The foil was glued into aeroplane wings and hull with contact glue, but that was a messy and not always succesful method. So your way to do this seems to be a superior procedure, and could be the way if I ever should need to copy a riveted surfaces at my builds. At the same time I wish a very best New Year to you, your family and all the colleagues at the forum! Matti Edited January 1, 2016 by Moxis Dimitris71, Piet, Omega1234 and 2 others 5 Quote

At the same time I wish a very best New Year to you, your family and all the colleagues at the forum! Matti Hello Matti, thanks for dropping in and thanks for your words..... Relating to the used alum. tape, unfortunately I ca`nt find the brand name anymore, and its not printed on the roll. I remember (must be back in 2008 or so) when I made out a company per web search, they would`nt sell to end users, and it needed some persuading to purchase a roll of appr. minimum 50 meters in 100 mm width. It had waxed paper back for peeling off and had a very good self adhering glue-film. The thickness without gluefilm is 0,125 mm, with gluefilm 0,2 mm. At that time I was building my steamship "Heinrich Kayser", wich I wanted to fit out with "riveted" plating. I tried the technique on my "Bohuslän" steamschip with a smaller tooth-module for the ponce toothwheels. The result was very good, so also the riveted tallships got foil platings. The 50 meter roll is now slowly coming to the end but I never thought that it would last in minimum for 5 of my metal plated "riveted" ships. I was anxious that it would`nt last for the KWdG, but luckily it did. Todays it should be possible more easy to make out a company per web research that produces or distributes an adequate foil, and that possibly also sells to end-users. I`m very sorry not being able to help you with the brand name, its been too long ago and unfortunately I did`nt save a copy of the purchase order Matti I wish you a good and successful new year Nils Edited January 2, 2016 by Mirabell61 Piet, Martin W, mtaylor and 4 others 7 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
