Sorry, did not understand your question

  Question, why did not I the ratlines, is it?
Because the scale is 1 / 150, and the dimensions of the ratlines on rails have 20mm (0,787 ")to 2.5mm (0,098") in topmasts, must understand how a job would be unthinkable for me

I like the build but I have one question . . . with the obvious effort with rigging the ship, why did you keep the plastic shrouds and ratlines instead of rigging them yourself?  There is no criticism implied.

Ah, language, that bridge which is also barrier.

Poor "did" which was meant as some form of the verb '"to be" (and we now know to be "had been").  That versus bondoman's idiomatic usage of "to do [action] to".

Oh well, at least it is not as bad as attempting to speak with  either Cockneys or Australians <grin>

As long as we are speaking of idioms "did the crew" means something that might happen on a dark night after a very long and lonely voyage...

Thank you for good detailed explanation for "Katze von Kopf"

Loin-cloth (tanga in Portuguese) in idiomatic phrase (Portuguese people), can be used as "lies, fraud or a joke

It was my intention to use as a joke

Well, I am not sure how well it translates into Portuguese, but the term-of-art in English is "avatar."   In this case, included in the "signature" area for an individual forum member to indicate membership in various sub-groups.  Quite a few of these use spurious images as for humorous or satirical intent.

The specific one here, "kopf von katze" is German for "head of cats" (I think that is "cabeça de gatos" in Portuguese).

I had to double-look at your RMS Titanic posting as the title translated some form of "tanga" into English as "loin cloth" (roupa na virilha), and you meant the middle deck, "waist" in English, portion of the ship you were modeling, not the attire of Edgar Rice Burrough's character, Tarzan.

Don't worry, the medals aren't evil. Just look at the $229 thread in General Discussions.

The Monogram Mafia is an excellent Group Build involving Monogram models.

To Juster 75

The name Cutty Sark was an old Scottish legend

The legends just because they are poetry  of people

But I do not want to see Rome, Atanas, Jrusalém, Baghdad, Kabul, Tehran, Tripoli, Damascus or Lisboa, tremble

Most impressive!  The rigging looks great.  I've always fantasized about doing one up like this in a dio with every sail unfurled and heeling over with a full bone in her teeth.  Excellent job and thanks for sharing.

Excellent job Alexander.....   Always admire these types of ship builds.                     Did you post this before??  Sort of wondering why your post lists "why no replies" (?)

 

In any event,,,  you built it very well

 

And, mostly,,  thanks for sharing!
