Rob Hi Rob, thanks very much for your kind words and your compliment, much appreciated,... Also many thanks to the "likes" for clicking on.... As I have answered to Dan already, you and all who are following this log are very wellcome, and I`m so pleased the model is liked so much... I`ve been asked already many times where she will be displayed and can nominate a preliminary place on a shelf of my hobby room in our cellar, below the "Heinrich Kayser" steamship where the presently standing river tug "Lorbas" will be removed to somewhere else. I think the KWdG will deserve a more exponated display area in the house later on, but in the moment I unfortunately ca`nt serve with the ignitial idea where... To answer your question, where the other models are displayed, ....... they are all on display within their glass cases in my hobby room Nils The "HMS Pegasus" stand plate bares two identical nameplates so the glass case can alternatively be turned 180° to also display the closed side of the hull. As the sails are braced about 45 ° one would be looking at more dominating sail area from the other side as well, whilst the here shown side gives more view to the entire rigging Here I also have my work desk for the lesser sawdust producing work. The models are all illuminated by spots from the ceiling the shelves are self made, and have to be well fixed to the wall with rigid supports in order to take the weight of the glass casings in the upper left of the pic a door to the small bathroom in the background can be seen.

Mirabell61 Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share #2414 Posted June 15, 2017 Thanks so much for your nice and kind comments, Bob, John, Greg and Piet, Bob, think you`re right,I really enjoy having the models around and in sight view... John, Thanks very much, now the journey is gently coming to the end... Greg, I was still in school when the first simple models got started. At that time there was no money for buying kits and so all attemps were made with scratch built models. Most of those models went lost or were somehow destroyed after all those years. Those that could be saved to a certain degree of staus to date, are shown on the enclosed pics.... Piet, I`m pleased you enjoyed the developement and build of the KWdG so far, its been quite some experience to get there.... Nils here some earlier models..., many years ago... a little pond boat for my son, when he was 3 years...

Martin W Posted June 16, 2017 Share #2418 Posted June 16, 2017 Hi Nils -- What an astonishing array of models! And what's most impressive is the wide range of styles, from the 18th-century Pegasus, to the racing yachts like Bluenose and America, to the working boats, and that amazing KWdG. Whew! You could fill an entire museum with your own builds. And I also want to say that your picture of the KWdG showing all boats up on the top deck is fabulous -- I simply love the view of the boat lining up along the rail.

Mirabell61 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share #2419 Posted June 16, 2017 Martin, thank you very much for your kind appreciations and your words.... I`m quite pleased with the production results of KWdG`s lifeboats, that task was saved up for one of the last larger sequences, with the (for me new) resin casting methode..... There is still a bit of rigging to be done with the masts and the cargo derricks, the radio arial wires between the masts, and paint touchups. Of course not to forget the custom taylored glass casing...
