Moin Nils,

you mean the rigols over the gun ports? The are carved .

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.

Thank you, Amalio

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.

Hello Marc,

I found your build randomly and i'm delighted what I see. Another colourful ship!

Today I was in in Lüneburg and I saw these portals who reminded me to your model.

The Rath's Pharmacy from 1598, and there is still a Pharmacy in it

And the House of a council family … Built in 1568 with a Renaissance portal. 

Hello, and many thanks for all the likes and comments.

Mark and Greg, that are I think double doors. Here the 60 gunner ca 1745 and the Yarmouth 1748

And here the draught for the York 1753 and Medway 1755

and the 1745 establishment. There was there the quarter for the officers, not the captain.

Yeah, that's also known here. But these parts have exaggerated it today.

Hello,

a small update. The carpenters where busy and build the window frames. But before we could install them, we have to build the next floor for the galleries. So, it may take some time before I'm back here.

Why do fall small objects alway to the wrong side, or turn in the opposite direction you want to turn them   That was not my day.

Hello,

another step forward is done. Most of that what I have build here, you would't see afterwards. So I held it simple. 

After a lot of brainstorming, I decided to build now the windows and working forward. 

Thank you Marc and Druxey fore your nice words and to all others for your likes

Hello,

and many thanks for your comments and likes, they are very appreciated.

I'm at least always busy with painting! But this time more relaxed.  I painted all the deck beams and the walls of the galleries. 

Hello Greg,

have a look at the model SLR0219 from 1715 at the NMM. That is the original from which I copied the design. Until the seven years war, or a little longer it was also at tobacco tins or powder horns used this way. Revolutionary powder horns had then print letters. 

here two Iserlohner tobacco tins from my collection, Fredericus Rex and Georgius Rex by Hamer, 1762. 

Hello,

and many, many thanks.

Today I hope I finished that chapter. I do not like this painting very much. On these round surfaces is it extremely hard to paint a strait line! So, don't look too sharp. Without glasses you did't see the faults.  

Next would be the interior of the upper gun deck. With the windows of this deck I start when the beams of the quarter deck are laid.

Hello,

after now around the house and garden is all in perfect order and the weather is rainy and cold (11°C) I have no more excuses not to paint the counter. So I started with it today. 

And before I forget it, many thanks for all the likes and comments I got from you

Another interesting thing that I found in Falconers dictionary under coat. For me it's too late to install it, but may be for others it comes to the right time.

Thank you Dave and Botra

Thank you Nils.

Jaager, I looked back to page 32 of this thread and did't find any like from you. Did't you like what I'm doing? 

But what I would say mainly, I'm surprised of all these likes I did't noticed, because the came sometimes months after my post. Many, many thanks for that.

Hello

to all those who wrote those nice comments and gave me there likes, thank you 

Hello and thank you Gary, and all others for there likes.

It is done, the lower finishings are build in. Painting them was very difficult, but also that is done. 

Hello and thank you again for all the likes and nice comments.

today I finished the second lower finishing  I made it one and a half time. Don't ask me  But now it's done  Tomorrow I will start with painting them. The left is the new one.

Hello,

and many thanks for your likes and nice words.

Now after fine tuning for some hours, I think I'm ready with the first one. Because some are interested what kind of tools I use, at the last picture you will see most of them.
