Fitted and planked the next three decks and fitted the bulwark patterns

Yep it sure has a lot of ornamentation
Maybe they put them all there to make the enemy feel guilty about firing cannon balls at them

The keel and bulkheads on this kit are only 4mm thick and after fitting the deck, the joints were a little bit flimsy, so i fitted some strengthening pieces to the joints
Lower deck planked and cross beams for the next deck fitted
There was no reason to plank this deck at all as none of it will be seen later, so i used some thinner planking and saved the kit supplied planking in case i need it later in the build

All Bulkheads glued into place
All seems to line up length ways too
Used the straight edge on half the lower deck and marked it out for planking
Lined up the other half of the deck against it by sticking them down together with double sided tape and then transfered the markings across
Carefully removed the two halves from the double sided tape then laid a strip of planks along one edge then fitted and glued both halves to the keel and bulkheads
When it's all dried, deck planking will begin
Planks have been cut to 100mm in length and will be laid in a 5 butt system in a 13524 pattern

Thanks Don
It's 0.6mm x 5mm Lime wood but it has a good amount of grain in it
The bottom deck is the same wood but with no visible grain to it, as the bottom deck is not visible later on i though i would plank it with some Lime i had lying about and save the grainy kit supplied stuff for later in the build

Started gluing the bulkheads in place using engineers squares to keep them square to the keel

Last part of the slipway build
Placed the keel in the slot in the slipway and dry fitted the bulkheads
Marked out where the bulkheads cross the slipway
Removed keel and cut slots where the bulkhead markings where
Replaced the keel and made sure bulkheads sat in the slots cut out for them
Checked that the bulkheads were clear of the base of the slipway insuring that they sat all the way down in their slots
Long winded way of doing it but by starting with two long strips and then cutting slots in them i know all the pieces are perfectly in line with each other (nothing like piece of mind before continuing)

Think it's time to start a new build log
As usual first thing is a homemade slipway to keep the keel straight
Glue the two halves of the keel together
There are two strengthening parts to fit to the joint but not yet
Built the slipway first
Keel without the strengthening parts fitted
Keel now square to the slipway
Cut a slot in the slipway to allow the strengthening pieces to be fitted

cobra1951 reacted to Torbogdan in Hanse Kogge by Torbogdan - FINISHED - Dusek Ship Models
Long time, no update. But finally some work done. I´ve had a little commission work that had to take precedence but now I´m building again.
Aft castle is done and waiting to be stained. Also begun on the lifeboat. That is a neat little model in itself. It is built in clinker style just like the Kogge itself. It will be fun to build such a small model.
Actually there is not that much left on the Kogge. Mainly putting together all the subassemblies, forward and aft castle, mast, and cargo and some detailing. After that is the rigging of course but this model does not have a huge amount of rigging.

Hey Zoltan, Thanks. Since this morning I've done three coats of blue on port side and one coat of blue on starboard. It's looking like at least two more coats of blue on each side and then probably a couple of coats of grey. Good part about all of this is the little naps in between coats of paint
