Hello Nils, no, there is nothing like this planned. Above this is the captains cabin, an he did't like a hole in his parquet. -
Hello, the ward room is ready! The shipwright is very pleased. The entrance And the question, where where the cannons stored? The traditionally way, as above. No, or stored to the walls In this case there could't be more cabins for the 3. and 4. Lieutenants made from sailcloth. So I think that they at least stored one pair of cannons outside of the wardroom. I've got the division here from the 60 gunner York, 1753. And this is what you will see later from all of this

Hello, the carpenters have build the bulwark and the painter will start painting them. So I hope, that tomorrow the window maker could set in the windows.

Hello Thukydides, I saw with my circular saw first in one direction one half of the wood and then perpendicular to that the other half from the other side.

Hello, pantry the second. The pantry did't fit really into the ship. I don't know what I measured there One of the main faults was, the ship widens in this region. I noticed that some time before, and you may have seen the wights I put on the beams. I thought that the beams dried, and got out of shape. But nothing as I learned now. The beams where ok, and also the distance above at frame 127. (the beams at this ship are numbered from 1 to 145 ) So I insert a bold and screwed the walls together until the beams fit again into the holes made for the pins. The second thing was, the place where the bulwark under the beam join the pantry was wrong So I decided to build a new pantry. This one fits under the beams and the place where the bulwark meets the pantry is right. The men talking, and I had the whole work to do! The right one is the 1. one. So, if anyone needs an only slightly used, almost new pantry, please tell me.

Hello, thank you for your comments and likes The pantry. The carpenters have build the walls and the painter had painted them. Here the carpenters have the walls erected And that ist all you could see afterwards from the pantry. Tomorrow I hope we will finish the pantry and start with the bulwark.

Hello, the carpenters have finished the cabins for the 1. officer and the master. The paint is really fresh at this moment. The bad thing is, you could't see most of it when the model is ready
-
Hello, and thank you for your comments and likes. The last days I was busy repairing some things. As an example I made middle window of the star board gallery new. I also managed to clean up most of the windows. And yes Theodosius, we plan to build in cabins.
-
Hello, I'm ready with the windows If I ever get the window panes clean, I don't know. And I don't know, from where all the dirt comes As next comes then the ward room and the cabins for the officers.

Keith, the imperfections at the last picture comes from the foil that is at the back of the acrylic.

Hello, and many thank for your kind comments and likes today I build the wardroom lights. And I hope that they may fit. That will I see tomorrow

Hello, these windows now are installed and I'm pleased with the result. For tomorrow there are some smaller things to do like repainting some parts, and then are the other windows to build. They are a little easier to build I hope. JJ, it is't so hard to build the windows this way. I glued the battens to a 0,3 mm acrylic pane with acrylic thinner, solvent. After all has hardened and is fast, I saw and grind the outer battens to the right shape, so that they fit into the frame. At the next picture you see the steps. The brush is to get the thinner under the battens. Don't press too hard, only lightly so that you not press the thinner out and the wood flat at the underside. And this is the thinner, solvent I use.

Hello, and many thanks for all the likes. The leaves from the trees kept me busy the last time, but today I found time to build the windows. When I looked at the picture, I think two at least I have to build new. The frames are broader then I need them, so half of them I have to grind away.
-
Hello, today I worked on the window frames. First to fit them in and second to determine the position of the windows. I changed the arrangement after I had a look at the first pictures I took. But now I think it is ok.
-
Hello and many thanks for your kind comments and likes. JJ, it may look easy. But believe me, it was't. Today my garden took my attention, but with the window frames I'm on a good way.
-
Hello and many thanks for all the likes. Today I set in the floors for the quarter galleries. Now all has a lot more stability. The next complicated task would be to build the frames for the windows here. My way to make sure that the quarter pieces are at the same angle
-
Hello, after a short pause at the shipyard, we managed to fit in the quarter pieces. It's not all done till now, but we are on the way.
-
Hello JJ, yes, about this theme is nothing in the official draught drawn or somewhere written. But at pictures of the Victory or Tricomarlee you can see this. In Lavery's book about the Bellona he draw the seat of ease also in this way. There is also a booklet Those Vulgar Tubes, by Joe J. Simmons III. ISBN-10 0-89096-788-1. I hope I could help.

Thank you Marc for your kind words. Aleksandr, I'm sorry but I did't have a German lion for you. If you are the next time in Hamburg, may be you are going also to the Museum für Hamburger Geschichte and the Altonaer Museum. Here in the Gallery of „Contemporary Models from Museums and Private Collections“, I have posted some pictures from these museums.

Hello, the great moment has come, the window frames are glued on. Also the toilets for the officers are installed and I changed the aft part of the quarter deck. So I hope that the captain could pass here later to the galleries, without difficulty.
