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.

Hello,

the first lower finishing is now more or les ready. 

And that is it. But some small corrections I have to make, when I look so at the pictures. 

Hello, and thank you Mark and Nils,

today only a small update. The finishings now smooth and ready for carving.

Hello,

the weather gets cooler, so the carpenters where busy today and cut out the lower finishings. 

then fitted these pieces to the ship

and at last cut out the approximate shape

The shipwright was pleased with the result. 

Hello,

after we had last week 17-19°C as highes temperatures, we have today 27°C and it should go up to the 30s! Is that normal?

So at the shipyard was not so much action. The upper rail did't really cooperate, and with the paint it was the same  But for now I think it is done.

Tomorrow I would start with the lower finishings. 

Thank you scrubby, and also all others for there likes

Hello,

so far for today. The counter is planked. For tomorrow stands more sanding on my plan.

Theodosius, thank you for your nice comment

Jaager, I'm sorry, but I could't follow you. At the windows are no right angles and nothing is horizontal or vertical, except at the window in the middle. The paper at the plywood is from the original plan, so I think I'm right when I'm building it this way. At my post #1006 you will see a larger part of the plan. Jaager, I know what I'm doing here, if not I ask.

Jaager, this is a model. Not a ship that should round Cap Horn. This model will see water only fall from heaven through a window. So relax. And yes, not all beams going through in one piece. I had to cut them and rearrange some of them. And what you call a transom, is a plank when I understand you right.

Are there somewhere pictures of your models here in the forum? I found only the La Renommee and that is just the hull, together with some others.

Hello,

Greg, it rained the whole night. Was that your work? 

So far for today. When I saw the last picture, I know what I have to do tomorrow. Or immediately  

That is unfair Greg. We had so much rain in July that we need more sun, not to get depressive. Then I would't leave my bed 

Last week I made a tour through the „Lüneburger Heide (heath)“, that was something that motivate me.

Hello,

now after three weeks of summer, it is cold and rainy again  So, not to see the disaster, I'm back at the shipyard. 

The upper counter rail and there supporting parts. Just to say it, it was't easy. But at least I think I got it. 

And here the parts who did't make it. To fill the space between the lower and upper rail would also be a challenge

Thank you Druxey

Hello,

the lower counter rail is finished. I build the middle part three times   But now I'm satisfied with it.

Hello,

oh you poor boys. Stay here for a while, and you would love these temperatures.  Today with a little sunshine between the showers and 16°C!

At the yard we build today only the under construction for the gratings and the ladder way. The two scuttles in front of the carpenters should be for the top tackle. What ever that is, but have they a lid? At the models they are not build, because there is the deck mostly open or build without these scuttles. 

The next thing will be then the stern, first at least up to this deck  

Hello Matt,

thank you and no, there is not enow rum in the house to drink you that weather beautiful. So I did't try it. We have that weather, mostly not over 20°C, the last fore weeks! And that in July 

Hello,

because of the bad weather here, rain and 17°C, we are back at the shipyard. The carpenters cut the beams for the quarter deck last week and installed them today. 

Hello Keith,

no,I think that will go also with a brocken wrist. He could hold at least a brush again.

Hello,

now have also the first two gun ports there lids.

We make now a little break at the shipyard for holiday and other obligations. I forget to mention, the painter had an accident. He broke his right wrist, but it is healing and he will be fit again soon. 

Hello,

thank you Mark. That was also one of my thoughts, but because I have no idea about rigging I discarded it. All others also many thanks for your comments and likes.

Here now some pictures of the now more or less ready fore castle. When I looked at the pictures, I realised that I have to install the gun port lids. So that would be the next action here, and when that is ready, the quarter deck and waist is the next building site. The anchors will come later.

Jaager,

at least you should read my original question.

Jaager,

thank you again. But that all did't answered my question from my post #981. The davit is something about 2,50m out of the ship, for not damaging the hull when getting the anchor up. My question was and is, how did they get the davit, with the anchor on it, to the place at the board wall to secure the anchor?

Thank you Jaager,

but that are things I know already and ok, my english is not the best.

It's funny, when I asked, all the experts are at a holiday trip, somewhere in the desert with no internet. But when I'm ready they come out and know also something. And every time I think, I did't ask again.
