Shouldn't you change that bit there?..... No kidding Chris, they look great! 😃 -
Lovely deck!
-
Well done so far! Nice pictures also
-
Looks cozy!
-
The hull looks really nice now! Nice clean line with the bulwark patterns in place 💫
-
After I installed the wales I found out that there were still a lot of seams on the top and bottom where the wales were not attached to the hull. So with some diluted PVA and more nails 🤪 I was able to get it all right. Now just filled everything with wood filler (I think at least a hundred holes if not more 🥲) But when sanded it should look great!

Thanks Rod! Will try your tip also...but if none of it works, a bit of sanding and some WOP will mask most of it I think. And with all the other stuff that get's mounted it won't be really noticable I assume

Welcome! That's an extensive library!

It does look goed Brunnels! But I know what you mean...I think the difference with real life is how the ropes are looking. For me a great example how I would like to rig my cannons is @Katsumoto with his "Xebec" build. I'm really impressed how his ropes are looking (He replaced the kit ones) https://modelshipworld.com/topic/26982-cazador-jabeque-xebec-by-katsumoto-finished-occre-160/page/3/

I always really like this ship, such a beautiful one. Great that you have started a log, and have fun with this build! And you have build already some nice ships!

Thanks for the tip! Will try that

Really cool quote! Tnx!

Haha I know...it's a difficult piece! But, removed the nails of the first wale and it looks the glue has grapped the both pieces well. I'm quite happy how it turned out! It feels a bit like i've past a difficult test or something haha, glad it's over But now a ton of filling with some wood filler and very careful sanding them smooth without damaging the beautiful lasered planking.

You guys let me know which one was best 😆

First wale installed. As suspected needed tons of nails 😁. First I painted the bottom black so I don't have to mask the hull when painting the rest of the wales. I used some diluted PVA and glued 1/3...nail the wale down, then another 1/3 and so on. This gave me some time to attach everything. But still the glue dried pretty quick so it will be a test when the nails will be removed if everything stick well to each other... I hope so So here the nail pusher slipped from his spot and damaged the lasered gunport patterns a bit, that's a bit sad...so this needs some cosmetic work afterwards.

I think it's doable pricewise to let that cut by a professional, and order it online or something
-
That looks really good! Will keep that in mind for myself, when it's time for a glass case

Soaked the wales yesterday for the first time. Only the part at the bow, but that felt insufficient. So today gave the whole wales a bath for the second time. If I try to follow the line it needs to run in the middle of the ship it wants to come of a little here and there at the bow. That's why it felt better to soak the whole thing. But will still need plenty of nails when the final install with glue happens I guess I'm toying with the idea of having the wales start just off the rest of the planking at the bow, as if the wales were in the rabbet. As they are in real life, but I'm not sure if it's worth it, or if it'll even be noticeable. Will decide that when they are dried.
