Hello, yes, they are tricky Druxey. But I think, now I got it. The forth version of the upper rail and the stanchion to the right looks more like a piece of plywood. But some fine tuning here and there and a lot of paint and it is't to be distinguish with a good head. We will see how it looks with the real rails.
-
Hello, today I was for some time back at the yard and I tried to fit the rails into the stanchions. The rails are just templates to see how they fit and what I have to change. And at least you see at a picture the most faults. But I think, this version will do it.
-
Michael, that is at least a good alternative to ship models. But you should plan more then one day for that. It is huge, and the International Maritimes Museum is not far away.
-
Thank you Albert and Michael, and also all others for your likes. Michael did you like to see the Reeperbahn in Hamburg? 😉 But there are also great museums with ship models, and at least the Peking. At the moment I'm puzzling out how the stanchions and rails might fit together, puh. But also the garden needs my attention, so it may take some time.

Hello, we are back at the yard and I'm busy with the stanchions for the head rails. 😰
-
Hello, the Tiger and I decided to have a brake at the yard and enjoy the beautiful spring here. To the left you see the real Tiger, my model for tigers and lions. 😉
-
Hello and many thanks for your nice comments and likes. the last days I finished the drift rail here at the fore castel. I took her out of the basement, so that the paint could dry better. Since I changed there my light system to LED, is that a problem. The next days I would first build the rest of the head rails and then the cat head supporter. So it may take some time before you hear again from me.
-
Hello, except for his knee, the cat head is now ready. The knees comes then together with the rest of the head rails. But before that I would build the rest drift rails around the beakhead bulkhead.
-
Many thanks Mark, Keith and all others for there likes today I have build the sheaves and finished the cat blocks I started yesterday. So I think, tomorrow I must paint again scrolls 😒
-
Thank you Druxey, the steps should be for both doors. The door to the round house and to the beakhead. I don't know if that is correct, but I had these steps.
-
Hello and many, many thanks for your likes and comments. My garden took at least a lot of my attention the last week, so the shipyard had to pause a little. The beakhead bulkhead is now fast installed and yesterday I build the seats of ease in front of the round houses. Today I started with the cat-hats and -tails. I think, the pictures speak for themselves.
-
Hello Gary, I did't had there a special angle, as you could see at my drawing. The green lines are the given measurements, and then I draw the main head rail from the edge of the fore castle to the edge of the hair pice. And then you have the angle and the length of the rail too. The rest is measure. Sorry my english, but I hope you could follow.
-
Hello, no the workers are busy at the yard 😉 and after fine tuning the rails for some hours, I decided that it's ok. And that is the result I would say, here would nobody would have an easy seat. So the seat of ease has to be in front of the round house and I have to change the decoration there.
-
Thank you, Michael and Gray, and also all the others for your likes. The next thing to do should had be, painting the bulwark. But then arose the question, where are the other seats of ease? So I decided first to build the main-headrail. With build in the rail I could see where to build the seats of ease. At least not at the side of the round houses. There is not enough space for them. So I think in front of them. That is the stand of work yesterday, and I'm not ready with them. Today I cleaned up my winter garden, and tomorrow the windows in the house are my goal. So, at the moment there is not very much activity at the shipyard 😉
-
Hello, and thank you Nils There was not very much activity at the shipyard the last weeks, but I managed to build all the remaining sheaves for the ship and some ornaments for the bulkhead. Now the artist could come 😟
-
Hello and thank you all, today I made only some small repairs and give the rails a layer of clear lacquer.
-
Thank you Druxey, no, I paint it directly on the bulkhead. It is't fast installed now.
-
Hello, so far the beakhead bulkhead is ready. Next the artist can come and paint the trophy bundles. But before that could start, a lot of brain storming has to be done. So, it may take some time
-
Hello and many thanks for your likes and comments Allan and Jaager, I build the round houses so, because the plan asked for it. I made paper templates for all supporting bows, and they are not really half circles as you may see. Then I planked them, some millimetre more wood to the top and bottom. So I can't see the advantage for a card or paper template or even a sold half circle. And because I work mostly with alder wood, no rain forrest had to be cut down or wasted for them. I'm also installed a window pane, because many of the models show there a window. May be you could open it. These round houses where reserved mostly for the warrant offices.
-
Hello Allan, thank you, but I understand not really what you mean. Where should I better use paper pattern. If it is necessary I use them, but not every time. At least when I build the round houses, there you may see at the bow a little peace of paper.
-
Hello, today only a small update without many words. But with a question, did anywhere know if these little windows in the roundhouses had a pane?
