And that is it. But some small corrections I have to make, when I look so at the pictures.

Hello,

and many thanks for your likes and nice words.

Now after fine tuning for some hours, I think I'm ready with the first one. Because some are interested what kind of tools I use, at the last picture you will see most of them.

Stunning work! I think what amazes me is the excellence you demonstrate in so many different skills that surpasses what most could hope to achieve in any one of them.

Thank you Nils.

 

Jaager, I looked back to page 32 of this thread and did't find any like from you. Did't you like what I'm doing? 

 

But what I would say mainly, I'm surprised of all these likes I did't noticed, because the came sometimes months after my post. Many, many thanks for that.

Regards,

Siggi

That's because a lot of members, like me, only become a member after your build/posts were made and discover it later on. Sometimes I put a like, sometimes not. It's mostly when I "follow" something that I really like it. Your build I've been following as one of the first builds since I'm a member. 

 

Great job so far!

Siggi,

I regret that you have perceived my interpretation of the stern as being any sort of order.  My intent is to challenge you to verify your plan if it is less complicated.

Planting a seed of doubt about preconceived plans is the goal.  Better now, than after it has been constructed.  Subtleties of tone obviously do not survive either in written form or after translation.

I will do my best to bite my tongue from now on.  Fair winds and calm seas going forth.

Jaager

  

Give it a rest,Siggi knows what he is doing by following the original draft of HMS Tiger. He doesn't need your sniping about trivia.

Hello,

after now around the house and garden is all in perfect order and the weather is rainy and cold (11°C) I have no more excuses not to paint the counter. So I started with it today. 

And before I forget it, many thanks for all the likes and comments I got from you

Another interesting thing that I found in Falconers dictionary under coat. For me it's too late to install it, but may be for others it comes to the right time.

Hello,

and many, many thanks.

Today I hope I finished that chapter. I do not like this painting very much. On these round surfaces is it extremely hard to paint a strait line! So, don't look too sharp. Without glasses you did't see the faults. ;) 

Next would be the interior of the upper gun deck. With the windows of this deck I start when the beams of the quarter deck are laid.

For someone who doesn't like painting you're damned good at it! I've not seen the floral-like GR monogram before on the stern counter before. interesting.

Hello Greg,

have a look at the model SLR0219 from 1715 at the NMM. That is the original from which I copied the design. Until the seven years war, or a little longer it was also at tobacco tins or powder horns used this way. Revolutionary powder horns had then print letters. 

here two Iserlohner tobacco tins from my collection, Fredericus Rex and Georgius Rex by Hamer, 1762.

Hello,

and many thanks for your comments and likes, they are very appreciated.

I'm at least always busy with painting! But this time more relaxed. :) I painted all the deck beams and the walls of the galleries.

Siggi, when I look at this model on my home computer - as opposed to just on my phone - it explodes into focus!  I just really love the coloration of the model, and the delicate balance between a slightly "grubby" white stuff and pristine top-sides.  All of the moldings are so delicate and clearly defined.  Your work looks every bit the part of a real ship.  The low-relief carving is exquisite; in one of my often repeated rhetorical rants, I will say out loud: "just go and try to do it better!"  I don't think it can be done.

We are all works in progress, all of the time.
