Orcatkt Posted August 7, 2015 Share #1084 Posted August 7, 2015 Been watching this build for a while, the more you do the more amazed I am. I have this kit sitting in storage waiting for space at the table. Not sure that I am game to start it though with the level you have set here!! Maybe in a decade when peoples memories start to fade a little. Stunning work, especially as I know exactly how big this kit is (or isn't as the case may be!)

Stockholm tar Posted August 11, 2015 Share #1087 Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Jan, Dafi, I think gun carriage trucks (wheels) were in two halves for strength. When fitted together the grain in one half was opposed to the other, making it stronger. This was actually from a French description so, as with other fittings, different navies were of the same mind. Dafi, Your gun deck diorama is tremendous and a great learning tool.

dafi Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share #1089 Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Thank you Tar and Kevin :-) No Tar, even though you are on the right track, not just quite. Your statement is correct for bigger wheels/trucks, but these halfs are not meant to become "wheels". Interesting is that some artifacts in Thorsminde and from other wrecks show usually trucks made from a single piece. Perhaps just for the smaller guns?

dafi Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share #1091 Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) If a debutante is meant to be introduced to society, she will have to pass the official procedure. Beforehand one was trying to make her look as great and big as possible ... ... but from near the austern comment was "oh... how cute" ... ... but even though the small one was appearently wort a closer investigation ... ... and had to reveal her most inner secrets and turn all her intimate inside out ... ... also the family tree was checked ... ... everything was well documented ... ... and afterwards the jury went into seclusion. The stern question was arised "Pauli, what do you think? Do you think she is good enough for my boy?" ... ... and the incorruptibly voice of the truth spoke "Fiiiits - fiiiiits" ... ... and by then even Robert was able to burst into a a liberating laughter ... ... and dafi was happy that he finally was able to present his lil´girl with the funny stripes to him, him the handsome 74 from 1798 after Stalkartt :-) What a nice couple they give :-) And while the kids were palying, it was dafi´s night out with sweet Caoline :-) They had a wunderful night, the gent of course is not telling details, but it was an experience, but you know, first night out together, there is of course no touching allowed, that is why stern papa Robert kept the display case closed.

amateur Posted August 14, 2015 Share #1105 Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Rather cryptic I see two sailors, one sitting on a chest (with those two halve wheels behind his back), looking in his open chest, holding something on which a hook is attached. Or is the hookthingy held by the standing sailor? Also: I don't recognise the traylike thing the sitting sailor has on his lap. And: I don' know neither Wimmel nor Röding....
