1/700-Mangini WW1 destroyer ("torpilleur d'escadre")

[JIM BAUMANN]

Not wanting to intrude....

But you can hang the boats from davits two ways:

1) on some vessels the boats was suspended from the davits and then lashed against the griping spar by diagonal cross-over straps- in the model- glue the boat to the spar and simulate the davit falls with sprue or PE

( illustrated in the link below )

2) or... insert fine wire-..tungsten or similar into the boat. make a small hook shape at the upper end.

glue and it hangs...

or make a jig to support boat, and use butt glue joint as below in my Wien



sorry Moomoon!

Well, Mr. JB, you're buiding ship models, I'm building fragile toys... I'll try your method sometime, thanks

Mr. JB and Moomoon . . both of your are master modelers, and your works are the source of inspiration and enthusiasm to me and my first attempt at this work. .

Mr. JB - thanks for the additional info on the boats/davits!!

Best regards...

Thank you tausugair... but I'm still an old little baby padawan compared to JB

Here are a few pics of the finished model on which an uncle of my father sailed during WW1.

I don't know how to mark the built as complete.

Bye
