Hello
Let's continue with the back. I had to replicate the door 1:1. I didn't have a key for the lock, but my neighbor still had a handful of keys lying around and lo and behold, one of them fit as if it were the original key. I just had to lengthen the key a bit.

Hello Jim
There is a little story about the sign. When I was restoring the back wall, I discovered the old sign, that was the only reference to the company that built the trailer. The company "Weiro". So I wrote to them to do some research. The answer came that the trailer was built around 1962, 1963 and it is still mostly in its original condition, apart from the colorful paintwork. The company even had an original company sign and the company gave it to me. I was very happy about that. Something like that is not a matter of course. So I had to put it back on. It's also a piece of history.

Looks great! And you've got at least a few windows which I would appreciate very much because I haven't got any...

Hello
Last but not least, I have added a few small things. First the gable arches were re-sawn and painted white, the ventilation shaft fitted and the dummy chimney mounted. Aside from the drawbar and rims, I'm done on the outside. The next step is the interior design.

Hello Last but not least the interior. The workbench on the right, mounted a little higher over almost the entire length, so I can work standing up or sitting on a bar stool. On the left two small cupboards for storage. And on the front wall shelves for my models. That's how it was with the restoration, I hope I didn't bore you. Just one. I even got an OSCAR for working on the trailer. Signature "The best trailer builder" from my unfortunately deceased friend Reinhard.
Looking very good - a real alternative for a inhouse-workshop
Maybe some more additional artificial light would be good

I didn't dare to share these pictures with my admiral. Before I know I have to work outside to.
The first photo below is a minor addition to my toolkit that I should have bought years ago: a reamer. It is excellent for cleaning up mast and hawse holes after they have been partially planked over. Also, in the case of the Nina, tidying up the circular gun ports.
Many of the photos in the build logs provide a tantalising glimpse of a member's workspace, tools and materials as a background to the pictures of the current build. On several occasions I have spotted, then bought, a tool seen in such photos that I hadn't thought of or knew existed. I think it would be interesting to see more extensive views of the spaces in which members work - whether it is just the kitchen table or an industrial strength complete workshop. As an example of what I had in mind I attach a photo of my (not very exciting) work space. It is a small area of a spare bedroom with a purpose build workbench. The black floor covering was a useful find: a length of plastic matting intended, I think, for car boots (translation :trunks) or garage floors. It is laid on a area of left-over laminate floor planks to make it firm. It is much easier to find dropped deadeyes on it than on a pile carpet. The contents of a dustpan after sweeping recover all manner of pins, blocks and ringbolts. Computer and music system are just off to the right and within swivelling range.
PS I don't much like the curtains either.
