Moxis Posted May 28, 2018 Share #595 Posted May 28, 2018 Very nice work Nils, your sewing looks perfect. I was a bit more lucky with my sails because the Admiral made the sewing work for me. And I agree that shipbuilding gets a bit slower at the spring time because there are so many other activities that must be made after the long winter, especially to change the winter tires and clean the garden after the snow has melted.

Mirabell61 Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share #596 Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) thank you very much Mark and Moxis, Mark, I`m pleased you like the crew and the penents at the top yard-ends... Moxis, Thanks for your words, I`m also not through with the garden yet, but the winter tires have been exchanged... Now the additional 9 sweeps are also completed... Nils here the work in different progress stages..

Mirabell61 Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share #598 Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) Thank you very much for your kind words Denis, much appreciated !! I think I`ll do the binnacle cabinet for the compass, so the helmsman does`nt loose the orientation, and then I`m through with it. I`ll prepare for some "as built" final photos for the gallery to round it up. The dust protection glass case will take some time to complete, but no hurry...

Mirabell61 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share #600 Posted May 31, 2018 1 hour ago, MESSIS said: Nils am asking a bit late, but I dind understood how she fall down from the table. Christos Christos, I was`nt sitting at the desc, but standing next to it bending half over the ship and tying some sail lines to the belaying points. The stand plate shiftet a bit over the desc edge and everything suddenly tilted out of my control.....
