Consistently amazing.  I love how you harmonized the printed depth mark numbers with the steel hull plates. Are the rivets on the printed pieces printed as well, or are they dimensional? (applied separately to photo paper)

Bob,

 

the objects next to the depth mark numbers are printed dashes. I was not my aim to to resemble the rivets on These pieces as well. I tried before to print on transperent (thin ! ) blanc decale sheet and to have the hullplate rivets pressed through, but that did`nt stick well, also the very thin sheet was tearing every now and then, driving me crazy and so a compromise had to be made..... no feelable rivets there, but good visible markings instead.

Simply Outstanding Nils!!!!

I am cursing myself for not dropping in earlier.I feel I could spend hours just looking and admiring your model.Every part is covered with a mass of detail.

 

Kind Regards

 

Nigel

Hi Nigel,

 

I see you have a nice new member Icon, is that Little pal a Jack russel you have ? I have a 7 year old Fox Terrier.

 

I had so many ideas as to what Details could be added some became realism and some went to the bin, but not being a kit, the mind was free to adopt many Details from all the gathered photos I had saved on my PC.

Hi Nils

 

Yes he is an 18month old Jack Russell.He is called Stanley and is the 'shipyard's' apprentice.Just got to teach him not to chew the building materials :D  :D .

 

I agree you have 'free reign' when not building from a kit,the hard part is that if you have very detailed drawings or pictures,is know what is not feasable at the given scale.I think you have achieved the balance perfectly B)

 

Kind Regards

Build log part 41

the depth indicator scales are made with my regular Microsoft Excel program on photo print paper

 

 

 

Nils, your work is truly stunning.

 

Could you explain a little bit more on how you made the depth indicators. Did you use a color printer? And photo print paper is quite thick, did you remove some of the backing paper before glueing it to the hull?

 

Thanks.

Treat each part as if it is a model on its own, you will finish more models in a day than others do in a lifetime.

Thank you Remco,

 

for making the depth indicator I used only the available Excel Features, an ink-Jet Color Printer and regular photopaper with the gloss side up. I was so fed up with the thin decale foil, so I dd`nt mind about the thickness of the photo paper, but yes your comment is correct, and after attaching the marking I did a Little retouche to the thin papersides with paint and a thin brush in order to cover the thin White cutting edges after glueing it on.

STARTING WITH RIGGING OF THE SAILS

 

 

 

 

post-3445-0-42471700-1395048848_thumb.jpg

this is the so called "Flunder" (flounder) named so because of shape and look like the flounder platfish with fishbone Peaks all around the outer edge. This belaying pattern is a must for the Young cadets to learn by heart, the names of the belaying Points and to find the ropes, their nominations, first pick, by day and night.

sorry, the first 4 pics come in .Bmp Formate, I was`nt able to Transfer them into .Jpg Formate.

If you do a right mouse click on, the new opening interactive window bar requires pressing the "open " button in order to get the pic....

together with the "flounder" scheme These 4 scetches provide mainly the belaying Points for the actual ships and the models functional running rigging

Yes, still amazing! 

Thank you for the nice and clear explanation to both Remco and I about your printed depth marks.

(I am trying a similar "Trompe-l'œil" technique for another project.)

Nils I keep looking at the volume of rigging and the work on the sails, and I am sitting here shaking my head in amazement, and to think that you did all this in 1600 hours...... wow!  I really like the sails, what is the line that you used for the bolt rope with the stainless core?

Michael,

 

please bear in mind that many sequences I have done nearly simultanously wih Pamir, and the rigging and sail making was one of These Features, if I were to build another tallship it probably could even be bit swifter because all the time consuming Trials would not have to be repeated again

 

Now coming to the boltropes with stainless core....

 

I found a good flexible Brown woven 100% polyester line, 0,5mm diam. (a Little bit like the one the masons use, but finer in structure).

This has a hollow sole, and with pushed in st. steel wire of 0,4 to 0,5 mm the total boltrope exspands to 0,9mm diam. outside. One can hardly see the difference with / without wire

Two pics are enclosed.. (best is to magnify the pics)

 

Nils
