kees de mol Posted May 31, 2018 Share #601 Posted May 31, 2018 Hello Nils. Lots of activity going on onboard this beautifull ship. I keep smiling watching the picture where you sit at the table with the sewingmachine. Beautifull picture of how dedicated you are to modelmaking. I bought a sewingmachine too so I hope to post a picture later this year making sails. I keep following your work. Kind regards.

Mirabell61 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share #602 Posted June 1, 2018 Many thanks Kees, there are many basic operations that could make life easier when sewing, provided one knows them.......my mode is only "learning by doing", and as far as the necessary stich types and arrangements are required and many things could be improved...., the "taylors" under the fellow builders may please forgive...the humble attempts..

Thanasis Posted June 2, 2018 Share #608 Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) Hi Nails. I would be ungrateful if I stayed still silent... I didn't dare to make any comment until now, thinking that it would be like if I was judging you on every step of you built. And I don't have the right since I'm not even close to your level. So, you have built a beautiful model that has been created through an inspiring modeling school for all of us. Congratulations Thx Edited June 2, 2018 by Thanasis Omega1234, Piet, mtaylor and 3 others 6 Quote https://www.naftotopos.gr/index.php/el/ There are no bad or good model makers.

I consider those model vessels as top notch. I just took a dive into the boat builds of your gallery, as well as your personal web site, to bring them and your skills back to mind.

Moxis Posted June 12, 2018 Share #630 Posted June 12, 2018 Others have already said everything about this magnificant project so that I just cannot say anything more but only agree those words. I think I know exactly your feelings now, on the other hand very satisfied to have the project finished, but on the other hand a bit empty feeling trying to decide what to build next. At least I have that kind of feelings at present. Piet, popeye the sailor, Mirabell61 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
