we call it wurstegal* :-)

 

There is Bratwurst**, Bockwurst***, Hanswurst, Wurstwurst and naturally Currywurst.

 

Brockwurst must be one of foxys invention - a hybrid of Brat- and Bockwurst; Sounds promising, I will try and tell you :-) :-) :-)

 

Prost, Daniel

Thanks you Sirs, very kind!

 

My small piece of cake found a temporary home in my Trafalgar shrine, beside the tankard displaying the battle lines, the Nelson magnifying glass, the photography of Nelson´s ghost and the the piece of original oak*** of the HMS Victory.

@foxy, no you wont!

 

Even though using some parts that I produced in my dim and distant past, you already found your own way to make this model your own!

Anyway fork and knife or even better Nelson´s knife-fork it is up to you first ;-)

 

Thank you Ian, Mark, Popeye and foxy :-)

Thank you all, especially Matti, hope your thump swells down soon !!!

 

 

@Dubz: ... do not forget davatation!!!

 

@clearway: would hurt more to keep it it the way it was :-) 

 

@Jan: the stern is just snapped in and still removable to have easier access.

What's you planning? More destruction on the lower deck, or fixing the beams, and start working at a higher level?

(btw, the diners: will they get some colour?)

Jan

 

... as if I ever knew what I was planning ...

 

... would save a lot of work from the devastation team ,-)

 

The pale color was on purpose and much more a hint towards the flavorless food combined with seasickness. Was this too much or should I still add a faint green shade over the faces?

 

Anyway, I think the lower deck still holds some subjects to discover for me and I am looking forwards to endeavor those realms of ignorance on my side.

 

Let the odyssey continue :-)

Sooooooooo it looks already a bit more friendly by now ...

 

Victory-side-entry_6593.jpg

 

... closed the gaps with Evergreen and Apoxy-Sculpt ...

 

Victory-side-entry_6594.jpg

 

... and the new steps are a awaiting :-)

 

A good trick to get an even result ist to just first fix every second one ...

 

Victory-side-entry_6597.jpg

 

... and use the ones in between to average out the rhythm :-)

 

Victory-side-entry_6602.jpg 

 

And to finish put the crown onto its place :-)

This build continues to be more than amazing. 

 

I zoomed in as much as I could on the scene where the crew are eating, but I did not see any biscuit weevils on the table. Did I miss something? ;)

(Maybe they are just underway and the hardtack is still fresh, or so long at sea that they are eating them as protein...)

... they already have the beef in the mouth but still are chewing for quite a while already ...

 

... thats why they still sit for so long in front of the now empty plates ...

 

... or are they waiting to be served as the helper with the barrel wanting to catch the rations still is waiting in front of the stairway to heaven - means the companionway that leads into nowhere towards the not yet done stove above on the still non existing middle deck ...

 

...

 

... smells like mutiny could break out soon ...
