Excellent! You always take "scratch building" to the extreme :o

 

I wish I had the space and patience to attempt some of the methods you have demonstrated on this build and appreciate the drive and focus it provides myself and others to take the extra effort in achieving such incredible detail on our builds. Enough said! :10_1_10:

Hi Mr. Jeronimo (Karl). Thanks for your continuing updates of your splendid work.

I wish though, you could repost some of your photos of the Main Mast Section, that are not showing for some reason (patience and time permitting, of course).

Specifically speaking, I am refering to some pics on page 16 (Teil 28), all pics on page 17 (Teil 29 and Teil 30), some pics on page 25 (Teil 39) and the entire page 26 (Teil 40).

 I am treating your excellent thread on the Bonhomme Richard as a guide to scratch building in general (and a motivational tool as well) and am studying closely all of your pictures, learning a lot of your modeling techniques and historical shipbuilding practices.

This all reminds me of the excellent book of Bernard Frolich on the ship modeling.

 

Hats off to you!!!   Many thanks again!

 

Thomas

Hi Karl,

 

what should I say now, except my greatest respect for this brilliant work.

Each word has been written here and all I can say is Great Great Great

On one side in your build log you have given us a link to another builder and you said that you can learn from him........ No way  this is not possible he can learn something from you - believe me - 

 

Karl, Du bist nicht von dieser Welt......!!!!  :D  :D  :D  :D Karl, you're out of this world

With best regards

Tom
