Well, well, here I am in yet another unblemished volume... and as in the previous, begin with a boat... The Odin is now almost finished (still some mooring warps and springs to the wharf, small blocks and tackles for the davits, oars for the lifeboats and anchor chains to install...). I have installed the steam anchor winch, vents, lifeboats, davits, railings finished, a crew, hand lettering, steering wheel, five ladder/stairs etc...

Is that thread you used for all the rigging? It looks like tedious work. Arthur Arthur Country: USA | Posts: 5866 Frederic Testard Engineer Premium Member Posted - 03/08/2011 :  2:55:20 PM   And opus 4 starts with a magnificent ship. The rendition of the rusty hull is absolutely amazing. Country: France | Posts: 17652 kirk Fireman Posted - 03/08/2011 :  3:00:15 PM   Arthur, I used black and cream silk thread actually. Goes in quickly with superglue splices ;-) Frédéric, the slight light brown drybrushing tonight really helped showing the hull plating and rivets. Troels Kirk Näsum, Sweden Country: Sweden | Posts: 4928 mabloodhound Fireman Posted - 03/08/2011 :  3:21:15 PM   Congratulations on Vol. 4 and another fine job on another great ship model. Country: USA | Posts: 6703 BBLmber Fireman Posted - 03/08/2011 :  3:57:41 PM   Troels, a fine start to your 4th thread and a great ship. Mark W,L,&E Country: USA | Posts: 6444 Bill Uffelman Fireman Posted - 03/08/2011 :  4:58:30 PM   Great looking vessel Troels! Bill Uffelman In Carson City NV Country: USA | Posts: 1105 Leo Starrenburg Crew Chief Posted - 03/08/2011 :  6:05:53 PM   Congrats on volume 4 Troels, just keep 'm coming :-) As for the photo's, I find them more like instant-paintings than snapshots, so much to see in each and every one ! Wish I could cast pewter figures, I'd make this for the aft deck: cheers, Leo.

Did you notice the character in the long raincoat just outside Lucky's bar ? Stranger to say the least and what's such a gent doeing on the pier in the first place: He made me wonder until I saw the radio direction finders' antenna on the bridge of Odin: This is a very state-of-the-art antenna, most would have looked like this <>, but the very new (and top-secret !) HUFF DUFF system uses an O. And what about the sudden move of the little (but very fast...) lobsterboat I ask you ??? No, there's more going on here than meets the eye I tell you, perhaps a case for Hercule Poirot ....................... cheers, Leo.

He looked suspicious to me, too. Maybe it is the new antenna he's after. Something is definately brewing. You can feel it in the air. Hmmmmmmm. Rich Country: USA | Posts: 1612 kirk Fireman Posted - 03/09/2011 :  12:39:55 AM   Love your fantasies!! The raincoat guy is actually a slightly pathetic fellow, who thinks he can impress the "ladies" at Lucky's by looking tough, growing a stubble and smoking cigars... he lives with his mother and sells stamps for a living... Troels Kirk Näsum, Sweden Country: Sweden | Posts: 4928 scott robertson Crew Chief Posted - 03/09/2011 :  01:42:37 AM     Wow! I really believe that if I could touch the ship and rap the hull the sound of metal would ring back. You may have inspired me (once again) to someday build another ship (although my harbor is a bit smaller ........can you say module?) Scott Country: USA | Posts: 891 kathymillatt Engine Wiper Posted - 03/09/2011 :  03:48:44 AM     Troels I'm looking forward to the next 100 pages and that boat is a cracker of a way to start off! I can smell the oil, rust and sea air whilst sat in my office! Kathy www.kathymillatt.co.uk Country: United Kingdom | Posts: 297 Ollie Engine Wiper Posted - 03/09/2011 :  04:48:31 AM     Odin is looking good, I guess that trench coat fellow is a copper. I guess the captain of the Odin has a few things to explin, like those few crates of canadian whiskey in the load...., or he is a private eye, which will cost the captain just a couple of bottles.... www.olaviahokas.com/trainstuff Country: Sweden | Posts: 366 Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 of 101 Topic    New Topic |    New Poll |   Topic Locked |  Next Page Jump To: Select Forum Railroad Line Administrative Forums       Forum News       Administrative Posts General Forums       WorkShops, Garage, Machines and Tools       The Tour Bus       The Arrival Track       RR-L Member Personal Websites       The Crew Lounge       The Classroom       Interchange Tracks       Rail Events       Reference & Research Model Railroad Forums       The Sn3 Branch       Mike Chambers' Craftsman's Corner       HOn30 and HOn3 Forum       Early Rail Forum       Dead Rail Forum       The On30 Line       Railroad Photography Forum       Small Scale Model Railroad Forum       Mid Scale Model Railroad Forum       Large Scale Model Railroad Forum       Logging, Mining, & Narrow minded       Model Railroad Construction       Micro & Mini Layouts       Layout Design / Operation Sig Forum       Startin' from Scratch       DCC, Computers and Electronics for Model Railroads Shop Talk       Vehicle and Non-Rail Transportation Modeling       The Steam Shop       The Roundhouse       Rolling Stock: the Car Shops       The Diesel Shop Company Store       Railroad-Line Swap Meet       New Product Announcements Fallen Flag Railroad Forums       Erie / Lackawanna Railroad Forum       Raritan River Railroad Forum Railroad Software Forums       Atlas Right Track Software       Railroad Line Software Library Model Railroad Club Forums       The Model Railroad Club Forum Sponsor Forums       Rusty Stumps Scale Models       KingMill Enterprises Railroad Line Weblinks       Badger Creek Lumber Co.       Central Missouri & Southern RR       Raritan River Railroad       Thor's All Gauge Page  -------------------- Home Active Topics Frequently Asked Questions Member Information Search Page Railroad Line Forums © 2000-2020 Railroad Line Co.
