Hi,

A little peek at the new 1/700 Ratlines, coming early October

Good idea! I am looking forward to the set.

A question to the dimensions: are they also useful for sailing ship models? E.g. typical frigates?

Could you also attach an additional part like 7 with deadeyes similar to 2-5?

[JIM BAUMANN]

Hallo Maxim and Harry!

Looking at the relative proportions , I reckon they will be fine for for both some * traditional as well as transitional sail/steam ships-- some of them do also looks suitable for the taller lower courses find on sailing ships with funnels.

I shall be purchasing some-- always horses for courses..

For some projects I am sure these will be just the ticket



*
But...I must say--and I am sure it may come yet- that there appear to be rather insufficient shrouds( verticals) for a
'pure' sailing man-of-war such as Victory/Royal Sovereign

The Atlantic models set addressed that quite well and adequately

[maxim]

The BFM set appears to better for the upper ratlines with less shrouds and it is a nice mixture of different sizes.

[Harry @ BFM]

Thanks JB for answering the ratlines question.

Maxim, there will be more varieties of Ratlines available early next year. I am just getting started on merchant ship PE. Expect a full line of merchant ship PE products next year.
BTW, the Ratline set BFM-PE 7001 will also include several other useful sail/steamship era items ie Ships Wheels, Boat chocks�.

The PE 1/700 Tug boats are ready to ship - BFM- 701PE - $20.00
BFM-733 - $30.00 Barge set III is ready to ship

Also, ready for production 1/350 US Coast Guard Decals.
And next up 1/700 IJN decal set.

Orangehobby - HMS Ocean should be here soon, along with their two other releases.

Thanks for looking.

Hi Everyone,

Lifecolor Naval Paints - both individual paints and Paint Sets have finally arrived from Italy.

I will be updating the site over the next several days as EarthLink was having technical problems at web hosting.
I am quite behind in Alliance Modelworks PE photo updates.

[antityco]

Are the crane ships based on any particular vessels? What is their USN designation, e.g. AB, YD, etc.? Do you have any web resources for the two types?

Thanks.

[Harry @ BFM]

Hi,

I asked Brain @ Alliance Modelworks who design the PE.
Here is the answer-

"They are not US Navy . One was a New Zealand crane named Hikinui, the other Norwegian . "

[antityco]

Thanks for the reply, Harry.
