Hi Uwe

Thank you for posting about our meeting. It was very interesting to see your great work on a perfect built model.
Like Uwe mentioned everybody is very welcome.

Cheers

Yesterday evening I had the chance to meet one of our members Willi Meischl, alias @schifferlbauer ,
and some of his modeling friends in a small restaurant in Vienna.

They meet regularly once a month and most of them knows each other already centuries - so many thanks to them that they allowed me to join this group of very good modelers.

First of all a photo of us

Do not think, that drinking wine was the main subject, no, we talked around three hours about ships, history and especially the modeling activities

Tibor showed the hull and some details of his actual model of the Le Soleil Royal (scale 1:78) - he is in moment working on the head at the stem construction
Here some photos I made of his very accurate work

Peter showed us his actual work on carving on the Lion - figurehead, asking for further tips by Willi - the Lion will decorate his model of the HMS St. Albans (1764), a 64-gunner in scale 1:72
Conclusion of the discussion - the haircut of the Lion has to be adjusted

I realized, that it is already a longer time ago, posting photos from our regular meetings in Vienna.

Yesterday we had our monthly "date" drinking some beer or wine, and talking about ships in general and also about the models we are working on

In Hebrew there is a song about friendship whose couplet describes you in pictures: "Here is what is good and what is pleasant, brothers sitting together..."
Both of your ships are very impressive and beautiful!
A agree that the HMS Royal George does indeed have an amazing presence because of the boxwood and also because of the quality of the planning and work.
All the best to you, there is nothing like meeting good people to maintain friendships and share knowledge and experience.
we here also try to meet once a month and it is simply a pleasure.Thumbsup:D
 
I realized, that it was already a longer time ago, that I posted something about the regular meeting in Vienna.
We still meet every last Thursday in the month

Whenever somebody is visiting Vienna you are invited to join
 
It was an interesting meeting and we talk about the problems what some of the models have, like the TRIAL and the ROYAL GEORGE, because
some Pictures of important details are not correct. The Highlight was the perfect model of Uwe. We had some fun, drinking beer and wine and so
I could say it was a very nice day.

is this you, Willy with the pipe? What brand/bland of tobacco you are smocking? I love Savinelly's Brunello flakes...
