Hi Oliver,

Well done!
The pencil shows what a cute little art object your model is.

Cheers, Alexander

Hi Oliver,

The masts are in color clear.

@SeaLover

Unfortunatly. I get input as well vom Gerard Delacroix. The mono is ambiguous in this point.

The fruit bowl transforms into a ship. The first decorlege are fixed on both sides and i started to remove the support elements in the frames.

I think this is an extra - megga-size pencil - only for modelers photos
Oliver -> very good work

Thanks Uwe. But the CAF La Belle in 1/48 is the real fingerbreaker.
After this project maybe i will plan my Bonhomme Richard in 1/24 .

IN 1:24 the hull will be appr. 1,80 meter long (fully rigged 2,20 meter - so you can sail really with her on a lake -> bon voyage

Gosh, Bonhomme Richard in 1:24, this will be a giant, you must have a real shipyard at home. I am really excited and hope that it will be something. I am looking forward to it, it will be something very special. Ich bewundere deinen Mut.

 

[Olivers Historic Shipyard]

No No, my friends. It was only a joke. I spend a lot of time with research in my leaving room for a full rigged Bonhomme Richard in 1/36. But finally the desicion was clear to 1:48. Sometimes I hate it to be rational.

A small update for my workshop. The Unimat shows me her limit and the logical step was to buy a bigger lathe. Bigger, but not a monster.
My choise was the Paulimot C2 for various reasons. The workingarea is 400mm, the valuations in the net are excellent. I have the luck that the
Paulimot headquater is 100km far from my home what gives me the possibility to test the machine. There is a bigger machine with similar datas.
Only with more power and digital scales. But i didn´t like the feeling with the digital scales. It was a strange feeling with the backslash an the scales.
Finaly the desicion was clear. I will now test the C2, if she works well i will sell my Unimat.

Lovely little lathe Oliver,
The quick change tool post you have is fantastic to use, I have the same style on my lathe.
I like the collet chuck as well.
Laths and mills are almost useless without accessory's.
Cheers,
Stephen.

Hi Steve,

yes agree with all. Without the correct accessory´s the best machine has no value.

Very nice looking anchor Oliver,

Did you silver solder it together?

Cheers,
Stephen.

 

[Olivers Historic Shipyard]

Hm Steve, i didn´t understand....
The anchor was burnished at the final.
