Barbossa Posted February 16, 2013 Share #1 Posted February 16, 2013 Hi All, Only when I encountered some difficulty while trying to login, I realised what happened last week. By re-signing in I'd like to support and express my respect & gratitude to all Adminitors who are putting lots of effort and commitment into this site. Some data are lost but worse thing may happen in life, I guess. Anyway, here's my actual status : As I chose for an open bulwark build, one of the consequences was that I had to adapt the dimensions of the gunports at the quartedeck. Meaning : now they are all the same and the only carronades left are the ones at the foremost position. Therefore I ordered for some extra 9lb guns which I intend to fully rigg. Greetings to you all Christian realworkingsailor, woodo, DORIS and 2 others 5 Quote Kind regards Christian "The original always beats the copy" (supportive statement) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbossa Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted February 16, 2013 Thanks, Joe & Sjors It's good to be in touch again with all you fine people. Still have to find my way, but I like this new edition . (Hi Andy, also trying to put you on my friends list) My stern is desperate for at least one lamp, tried to make it from scratch but there I encountered my own limitations, I'm afraid. So aside from some extra canons, I ordered for some figurines and also a set of lamps.

Barbossa Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share #7 Posted February 16, 2013 Likewise Mort, All accessoires came from Cornwall-Boats, they have figurines in different scales but within the 1/64 scale you have 2 possibilities : -1 set of 6 Amati figurines - 6 individual figurines I guess 12 sailors should suffice to bring your Snake "to live" Andy, The most recent ones can be recovered, I'll see what I can do Quote Kind regards Christian "The original always beats the copy" (supportive statement) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbossa Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share #11 Posted February 17, 2013 Hi Tim & Aldo : thanks for your appreciation Another thing that depends of your appreciation are the (relevant) pics I managed to recover, there's about 40 pics. I must admit that it is less than I expected.

Barbossa Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share #16 Posted February 17, 2013 Hi Aldo, it took lots of measuring, comparing, checking,...and only gluing/fixing when I was 100% satisfied and obtained the expected result. With this open bulwark thing, I took a bit of a gamble, but the endresult made it all worthwile. Let's hope the best for the rigging stuff, hmmm......

Ray Posted February 25, 2013 Share #21 Posted February 25, 2013 Hi great to see you back I hope to build my Diana as you have done with the open quaterdeck rails and the extra 9 pounders I thinks its a more pleasing look. Thanks for the heads up I seem to remember in some old build logs this transom height problem when I get near to fixing them I can dry fix and send some pics to you to check the heigh, it may be a bit down the road as I plan to top & but the main gun deck first.

hollowneck Posted February 25, 2013 Share #23 Posted February 25, 2013 Welcome Back Christian. Good to see your work again. Ray has posted a new Diana Build Log and I'm certain he (for one) will appreciate the time you've taken to re-post many of your build pics. Your superb work continues; I do like the open quarterdeck too but I chose to frame mine in with the same wood as the exterior bulwarks which also makes for a nice contrast with the cannons. I also like to have figures on my completed models. I also chose to mount lanterns on the rear of each top (but not the taffrail). I'll be waiting anxiously to see how you do your masting and rigging.
