Hello, it is done. At least the wheels are ready build. Next to build are the two supporters for the wheels.

Hello, because today the summer ended we had here the last weeks and it rained again the whole day, I was busy at the yard. This is cutter No. 3 and I think now it works. The handles are a little too bulky, but when they are slimmer they would break. The spooks have a Ø of 1,6 mm! Now are only 17+ spooks left
-
Hello, the first results. I think, tomorrow I have to make the cutter new. But it is an interesting material and cuts better then wood.
-
Hello, and many thanks for all the likes and nice comments. Today I will start making the spokes for the wheels. I hope, I could present the first spokes this evening.

Hello, the wheels. They kept me busy this week, and other things like my garden. But now they are in the raw ready. I think I must not explain the pictures and then that So, go back to start, and try again This time I made the beads before I cut the rim loose. The shipwright is pleased. In the foreground you see some of the spokes. They are from mammoth ivory. So, if you hear nothing from me the next weeks, I'm busy or I had thrown it all away. I hope not.

Hello Marc, what I use to cut brass wires is a cutter for finger or toe nails. I grind one side thin, so that I could cut also small diameters. For soldering I use almost a soldering fluid. Then you needs only a small amount of tin on your soldering iron and it would flow evenly. If brass is to stubborn to bend, I would use copper wire.

I never saw there a gangway. The only one left is the gangway from the QD to the entrance and then further to the FC. So it seems to be a mysterious!
-
Hello Chris, no, I think not. It's the plan for the 1745 establishment and there the poop deck. At the QD are the cabins for the officers, and at the sheer plan is there nothing drawn. For the Tiger did't exist a plan for the poop deck. So at least I must not build there anything.

Hello, and many thanks for the likes Today the carpenters build the grating over the lobby. All the beams are now fast, except the two in front of the bulwark. One question, did anybody know what these encircled parts should be? But before I start with planking, I think I build the wheels.

Hello, the last bulwark(?) between captains bed place and the lobby is installed. Before I install the deck beams I have to make a decision, where to place the cannons? All sources say, there where 8 6 pdrs at the QD and 2 6 pdrs at the FC. But I never saw a model with a cannons at the FC! At least there is not so much space for cannons. That cannon to the left has the problem with the shrouds, and the cannon to the right with the hight of the fife rail. At least I could place all cannons at the QD, without one in the captain cabin. That would make the captain happy. And that is what you see at most of the models. If no one has a veto, I think I build it so.
-
Hello, today only a short sign of life. The carpenters finished the bulwark and the painter painted it. But the windows have to wait a while, because of my damaged index finger. It't not soo serious, but without a complete fingernail I could't grab these small parts.
-
Hello, the carpenters finished the great cabin for the captain. It took some time, because the oil has to dry, some days of because of eastern and the good weather we had. But now it is raining again, so we are busy at the yard. Here the carpenters have the first bulwark allready finished in the raw.
-
Hello, and many thanks for all the likes because the vegetation here is 4 weeks in advance of normal years, my garden now needed much of my time. But today it rained and so I'm back at the shipyard. The carpenters set in the deck beams and started with the paneling of the walls.

Hello Keith, thank you, and that are brass pins. That where the smallest and most uniform I could get from Amazon
-
Hello, and thank you for your comments and likes today the carpenters repaired there mistakes from yesterday and finished the back side of the bulwark. Then they also build the doors. The shipwright is this time pleased and spend a beer. 😊
-
Hello, and many thak for your likes we where busy here with the aft bulwark. That is the plan and here the (third!) raw bulwark Today we finished the outside of the bulwark When I saw this picture, I think there is some work left for tommorow. Some of the plinths have to go.
-
Moin Matthias, that looks all pretty good. I know pictures of this model, but did't realised that it is such a short part of the ship. I will follow your build with great interest.

Hello, during the week the carpenters have cut the beams and today they installed the clamps for the pop deck. You may see, that there is not much headroom even in the great cabin. From the floor to the upper side of the beams it is 6ft 8in! At the beginning of the deck, 6ft 6in. And the beams are 5in high.
