HMS Mercury, 1:72, Shipyard [COMPLETED BUILD]

Das war ein Vorschlag eines Modellbaufreundes; ich werde das aber so nicht weiterverfolgen. Diese einzelnen Webleinen sind noch nicht festgemacht. Ab den nächsten Wanten werde ich normal von unten nach oben arbeiten.
 
I counted und calculated: In total there are 1,258 knots on the lower masts. I've already finished 216 with what I've been working on today. So it goes fast! :D

Oh yes: In the upper floor, only about 450 knots remain. That is still a small matter. :cool:
 
we are eager to continue

Well, then go on here. It will not be long before the Mizzen mast is ready. The template is very helpful. But important is a healthy sense of proportion.

Jimmy is off today, but his friend Ricky wanted to test the new rat-lines.

His buddy Allan took the starboard side and climbed on the top.

The yard has now closed a few days. Tomorrow I drive a little further away. I do not only build ship models, I also like to listen to metal music. And tomorrow I'm at the Slayer concert. They're on their farewell tour - I can not miss that! "Anthrax" is also there, and "Lamb of God" and "Obituary". Thumbsup
So if these bands know someone here ...:cool:
I know: My ears will be glowing! :D
But if the guns of my Mercury were fired earlier, that was certainly louder ... ;)

Bye and see you soon! :)
 
Enjoy the concert, Bonden. I am going to see "Dream Theater' in April.

I am happy for you, that you like the rigging works - a lot of modelers, me included do not like it so much......she is looking great!
 
I second Uwe, not my favorite part of ship modeling. However, without rigging the model is kinda 'naked' and if it is not an admiralty stile - looks unfinished (IMHO). Your rigging job looks fantastic!
