Hello Kenny, imo there is no alternative to unglue the false deck from the bulkheads and add some spacers.....is it the same on the starboard side? I have had the same problem with some bulkheads, and the opportunity to fix the problem is now, later on no way.....makes the deck planking much easier. Werner

Hello Rick, thank you very much for your appreciation! 1. No, I didn´t use any whitewash or special wood at all, I just used the provided 1/8 x 1/16 inch basswood stripes. The only treatment was sanding the deck when finished. 2. As red for the bulwarks (Schanzkleid in german) and deck fittings I used red ochre as recommended by Caldercraft especially for period ships, see the pictures below. It is easy to find when you google.... I hope I could help you Werner

Dear modelers, tomorrow my last post is exactly four months ago, and there is much progress with the model. The ship´s boats were placed only for the photos and are not yet glued. I intend to have the model finished soon, because the next model is waiting.... Comments and questions welcome. Greetings Werner

Hi modelers, here the next steps to be posted.....the middle rails and the cathead support knees are done, the framing for the head grating is done, and I started with the grating timbers. Note the additional stripes along the framing and the main headrails as a support for the framing timbers. The cathead support knees were notched instead of removing the hull molding stripes. Greetings Werner

Hello Harshil, thank you very much! It is DEFINITELY the most trickiest part, especially the curved sections of the middle rails between the bow sections and the support knees of the catheads. The adjustment to the curve of the hull and the transition to the knees demands patience....actually I'm working on the starboard side. Regards Werner
-
Hello Ian, you' re on the right way, the plan is quite simple....."just" fill and sand and fill and sand and....until the hull looks like made of plastic without the slightest indication of planks.... My way was as follows: when I was content with filling and sanding, I gave the hull a coat of parquet lacquer. When it was dry, I polished the hull with a polishing disc on a drilling machine Regards Werner

Hello Ian, The sheer from the center towards the bow is right and there should be a sheer toward the stern as well, but this is not as distinctive as the sheer forward. I would say there is no problem if you build a flat deck in the aft section. I suggest to have a look on the models of Peter Beisheim or Rüdiger Eschker for example....

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
