Hello, it is done, the deck is finished. That was no easy job, at least in the stern and stem. I'm waiting now for the second oiling, and build in that time may be the rudder, some cleats or toggles. And that is all you could see from the interior. Just some frames and parts of the mast step. But I have the pictures.
-
Hello, and thank you all for your comments and likes today I started with the deck. Now with the first oiling. The toggle is for the halyard, fastened to the frame below. So I started also with rigging. 😊
-
Keith, not all. At the SB side I would left the deck right to the mast fish open. 😊

Hello, After a short break, we continue now. The last two stands are now ready. Since nothing is straight here, they got me really busy. But it's done now. Next is the deck to be made. That means, cutting wood first.
-
Hello Cisko, as you can see in the picture, the stand is made of 3 parts. I haven't found more parts in the trash bin anymore. In this case, the stand itself must first be dressed. That's the difficult part. Everything else will explain itself, hopefully.

As I have seen, people don't need to take off their shoes anymore when they come to the ship 😄

Thank you Johnny

Hello, the first stand (?) is installed. This is the fourth version of it. 😟 I worked here after a drawing from Frederik Johannessen, he reconstructed the ship. And at least the whole ship
-
Thank you Keith.

Hello and thank you for your kind comments and likes today I finished the knees. That was a nerve-consuming process. But now it's done. The next not so easy work would be the stand, standing in front of the mast.

Thank you John

Thank you Keith

Hello, today a short update. The mast fish is installed and also the first knees
-
Hello, now the mast fish is more or less ready. All the corners who brocke off yesterday are repaired, and the whole thing glued to the ground plate. In reallity this is one great block of oak! So when all is settled tomorrow, I think I could start with the knees who hold the mastfish in place.
-
Hello, and many thanks for your comments and likes Over the weekend I oiled the outer part of the ship the second time, and today I build the upper part of the Mast Fish.
-
Hello, yesterday I oiled the hull, except the beams where later the mast fish lies. I think that it is time to build a stand. So that is, what I'm planing for the next time, during witch the oil could dry.

Thank you Keith

Hello, this is a great day, the oar ports are closed. To get the lids as close a possible centred over the hole, I turned a stick slightly smaller then the hole of 2,3mm. That was the hardest part today. 😀 Then I glued the lid, centred the stick to the lid, put the stick through the hole and glued the lid fast. Done And the results
-
Hello, and thank you for your kind comments and likes The lids are done. But the next great thing is, glue them to the ship. You could't grip them with tweezers or thongs! I have an idea, but if that works, I will see tomorrow.

Hello Albert, thank you and all others also for your likes After I cut out the oar ports, the ship looks really different. More like an ocean liner, or a space ship. 😀 Today I started with the production of the port lids. After doing some Photoshop work and test lids. 😐 But now, I think it works. The battle field in the winter garden, and the results. Half the lids are done. After finishing the battens under the gun wale, I thought is that now masochism? This is in my opinion not far away from it. 😏
