RMG versendet ja keine Pläne mehr nach Europa. Wie macht ihr das dann, wenn ihr Pläne benötigt?

This information surprises me. I bought last year the drawing of the Hoy as digital copy. There was no problem. They add the tax at check out.

Here another example of the capabilities of ChatGPT, prompt: "Restored version, without noise or jpg artefacts, in pure black and white, and with 4x AI upscaling" / "Restaurierte version, ohne rauschen und jpg artefakte, reinem schwarz weiß und 4x KI-Hochskalierung"

cheers

Diese Informationen haben mich überrascht. Ich habe letztes Jahr die Zeichnung von Hoy als digitale Kopie gekauft. Es gab keine Probleme. Die Steuer wird erst beim Bezahlvorgang hinzugefügt.

Hallo Christian,

Ich rede nicht von digitaler Kopie, sondern im klassischen Sinn von Papierkopien. Schau mal die auf die Länder in die versendet werden. Zitat der Antwort-Mail…im Moment wird nicht nach Europa versendet.
We are also able to ship worldwide but please note that due to new EU legislation we are temporarily unable to ship the EU or Northern Ireland.

Today I finished the prototype of the well with shot locker. Removed two of the beams for the center platform and modified the mast step. Deconstruction time .... next is building the well

cheers

Dirk

 

[AnobiumPunctatum]

When do you remove the other beams?

 

[Dubz Modelling World]

Maybe never .. it hurts so much ... this "crack"-noise when removing .... I need to get over that I already removed 2 of them ... it's hard ....

 

[Charlie1805]

Heute habe ich den Prototyp des Bohrlochs mit Kugellager fertiggestellt. Zwei der Träger der Mittelplattform wurden entfernt und der Mastfuß modifiziert. Jetzt geht es an den Abbau … als Nächstes wird das Bohrloch gebaut.

Prost

Dolch

Schaut klasse aus

I like scratch building and kit bashing in 1:160 … it looks very promising, Dirk.

Good morning Dirk. Stunning modelling on this tiny cross section.
I love all the pics you and Allan @AllanKP69 shared. They make me depressed as the CaF kit I am building is nothing like the drawings . Cheers Grant

A little side tracking, sorry Dirk. I think most kits are based on contemporary information when available, at least to start. Why some go off track is probably because the kit makers design them to save their costs and thus try to keep reasonable prices for the consumer. Then again maybe they don't understand that a kit can replicate a real ship so continue like past generations. We can still do kit bashing if we want to. Thankfully there are two or three kit makers that come to mind that offer high quality products with enough choices to last a lifetime.

Absolutely no problem with side tracking @AllanKP69

I think the problem with kit design is also that some people just want to design a kit (just as some people just want to build it… it always goes wrong for me… damn…) and aren’t really that interested in the historical construction background, or the ‘more accurate’ plans aren’t available, so a lot slips through the net. Perhaps some people just don’t have the inclination to delve deeper either; there’s a lovely new kit of a Dutch gunboat, but unfortunately the designer was absolutely unwilling to use the all-important typical Dutch planking, which makes it hard for me to find it interesting. But for his ‘market’, it didn’t seem important to him. You have to accept that, though it’s a shame… haha.


I almost finished the well with locker.

Unfortunately, the part has warped a bit; it’s still annoying me, even though I doubt anyone will ever notice it once the model’s finished. I’m going to open up the rear section, and possibly the side door as well. I’ll be fitting hinges later, and getting it to fit the lower deck won’t be entirely straightforward either, but I don’t think any gaps will be visible once it’s finished (it’s bad enough that I know about them… haha)

Yes, still 2 beams fitted ...

cheers

1:160 is fun .... haha, thanks Peter.

Thanks Grant, much appreciated. I like the conversation with Allan too, learned a lot the last days

Today I finished the well with the shot locker. I think it is quite ok, at least it tells the story

cheers

[dockattner]

A very, very nice piece at this scale!

Just a big WOW, Dirk.

BTW, don't tell me the door won't open, don't!!!

The door won‘t open …

But you have opened another entrance. I can‘t remember, that this was on the real ship but it solves the problem with the door.

 

[Dubz Modelling World]

I fixed the door, couldn't stand it (no one might ever see ...) :-D

Edit: I hope @AllanKP69 is happy now

cheers
