druxey Posted April 18 Share #871 Posted April 18 An excellent result, Eberhard! BTW, 'floaters' are possible at any age but, as you mention, they get ignored by the mind after a while. Annoying, but harmless. mtaylor, FriedClams and Keith Black 3 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javelin Posted April 18 Share #872 Posted April 18 So much effort in that ensign, but the result is fabulous. The structure really appears a fabric rather than simply paper or plastic.

druxey Posted Saturday at 03:46 PM Share #880 Posted Saturday at 03:46 PM Thank you, Wefalk! It brought back memories when, as a five-year old child, I was fascinated by the moving eccentrics and connecting rods in the open engine room. The smell of hot oil.... This was on a Vierwaldstättersee steamer. I think a model of one of those would be a very interesting subject..

Keith Black Posted Saturday at 04:50 PM Share #881 Posted Saturday at 04:50 PM Thank you posting the engine startup video, Eberhard. Large engines are fascinating, building/machining large engines is even more so. Building the lathe pictured would have been a monumental undertaking. I wonder how long it took to chuck that crankshaft?

Ras Ambrioso Posted Tuesday at 05:59 PM Share #882 Posted Tuesday at 05:59 PM Wefalk, my next model is going to be the SMS Temes (aka Bodrog) from WW I in 1/64 scale. I will use your system to develop the naval ensign of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Thanks for your craftsmanship. It is definitely an art.
