great looking ship Jens........nice progress     lots of folks here on the site have made their own dead eyes.......ans many more than that have made their own blocks.  looked to me that you did a really nice job.......no need to hide or mask     but,  the metal coating made them look really cool.

 

your doing a superb job!  

[samson]

Hi Popeye

thanks for your kind suport  and Im glad you like my dead eyes 

 

Cheers

I just saw your paper copper bottom. I really like this solution for my 1:147 scale ship. I will have to do some experiments. 

[petervisser]

Your model looks fantastic Jens. A real inspiration to get the lead out in my own shipyard.

 

Thanks for all the updates and photos.

Hello everyone After a long break, I have found the model hobby again. and to restart softly. I have redesigned the lifeboats. I have sanded them round and then planked them up with paper strips . an idear i got from following  Nenad "s build .

[NenadM]

Go on, my friend! Very nice boats !

[samson]

 

Hi   Nenad thanks for looking in .

yes sometimes it is not always the most obvious material that has the best effect. but I've been happy with paper for many things, it's cheap. you have a lot of it. it's dull to shape. and in the small scale model is even the thinnest wooden veneer too rough.

 

cheers

[ScottRC]

Those boats look much better, very scale.  Great work!

Scott

[samson]

 

Thank you for saying that  Scott

Hi All

 

A little update in the neverending story. I will roughly make all yards and make all the brass rings and fittings before I finally fix the masts - the 9 rings shown on yarde have taken 10 hours to form roughly 1 hour piece

[Charter33]

Superb detail and craftsmanship, Jens - as always!

Great to see you back. I'm looking forward to following your build through to completion.
