Hello, it is done, the fore castle is ready. Ok, there are some things left like the anchors, but that comes later. The only thing I would build here next, is the fish david.
-
Hello, thank you Druxey. Because we have here the best weather to sit in the basement, it's cold and rainy, the carpenters mostly finished the fife rails and the painter painted them. And all without a disaster.
-
Hello and thank you for all the likes today the carpenters build the port side fife rail. Unfortunately they have forgotten to paint the underside of it. I hope that that would not end in a disaster. The plank for the other side is now already painted.
-
Hello, because it's not really summer here at the moment, the carpenters decided to build the timber heads. They are not fast installed, that comes tomorrow.
-
Hello, another little step in finishing the fore castle. The rail at the beakhead bulkhead.
-
Hello Marc, thank you, and no I would't rig the model. The ship is now 1,15m long and 40cm high. With a rig it would be 1,40m long and also high. That is much too large. And there are too much sticks and twine for me
-
Hello, this rail is now ready. It was easier then I first thought. But there are some more left
-
Hello today we started with the fife rails. First I tuned the arches for the reserve mast storages, then build the rails itself and fitted them in. The rest will come the next days.
-
Hello, and thank you scrubby and Glenn for your comments, and all the others for your likes. Now the belfry has also a bell.
-
Hello, I build the side parts, because drawing them would be nearly impossible. And then came the hardest thing, to assemble the parts. But at least all went well and the shipwright is pleased. Tomorrow the painter has to paint it all.
-
Hello and thank you for all the likes, after my last post, my cat and I decided to enjoy the now warm sunshine after a more cold spring and being lazy. But yesterday we had here a little, long awaited, rain and I started with the arch of the belfry. The first attempt did't work, so today part two of it I think it worked this time .
-
Hello, Slowly I get this deck finished. I turned the sheaves for the railing and made the chimney and ventilation for the stove. Even the mast foot is ready. So the next things are the bell and railing.
-
Hello, thank you Ian and all others for your likes. Now the deck is ready and oiled.
-
Hello, slowly, but steady the carpenters get the deck ready. First I thought to leave it so, but I think I should build the bows also in front of the open deck.
-
Hello, the carpenters laid the first planks. I'm away from the shipyard over the next weekend, so I think that the workers made nothing during that time
-
Hello, a small update, I finished the Bits (?) That was't an easy task, but now its done
-
Hello, the shipwright has done his homework, but it may take a little time to realise it. There are so many small things to build, before I could assemble them.
-
Hello, today the carpenters build in the waterways, the planking and the final edge of the deck. The painter is just ready with his job.
-
Hello, it is done! The interior of the fore castle is ready. But first I had to build the 26 12 pdr ready and some smaller things, like the ashtrays for the ovens and the fire place.
-
Hello, the carpenters where very busy today and build the walls for the kitchen. So, when I made the pictures, they where at there way home.
-
Thank you Keith, when I remember right, was wood and coal stored in the fish room. It's in front of last room in the hold.
