Could it have anything to do with storage of the anchor?

Hi,
as previously announced here are the pictures from the removal of the boat shell.
Before removing the shell I've sanded the hull.
Sanding I was doing outdoors.

 
With great excitement and nervousness I loosened the screws.
 
I am satisfied with the result.

 

 

.... continued
 
To make the swivel brackets I flattened some 1.2mm wire. This would have been easier with 1.6mm x 0.8mm brass strip, but I didn't have any. To get some meant a 2 hour drive, and I flattened the wire in a couple of minutes :
 

 
Next I drilled 0.85mm holes 9mm apart and cut the pieces to length. The ends were rounded :
 

 
I partially bent the strap using needlenose pliers :
 

 
A piece of 1.0mm wire was soldered to the strap and then the unit was fitted to the trunions. This was not as difficult as I'd feared. The guns can pivot up and down as the straps aren't soldered to the barrels :
 

 

 

 
Finally the guns were blackened :

Hello,
 
the aft screen is ready and the captain is very pleased. (I hope he will spend some drinks this evening   )
 

 

 
He looks where to place the decks chairs
 

 

 
Have a nice weekend,
Siggi

Thank you friends!
A little progress:

 

 

 

thanks friends!
I started the preparations of the interior: the large bulkhead of the hold of the water and the well of the bilge pumps

 

 

 

 
 
I also started the body of the bilge pumps

 

 

 

 

Hello,
 
it is done, the floorcloth is in! That was a whole weekend of concentrating drawing, redrawing and making new.
 

 

 
The for part of the quarter deck is also mainly ready.
 

 
Regards,
Siggi

I hope I understand correctly - if not, I would appreciate having my error pointed out.
As I understand it, a 'rolling bevel' means that the bevel on the planks is not fixed to a specific angle, but gradually changes from none mid-ship to almost 90 degrees at bow and stern - hence it is rolling along the edge of the plank?

Наконец, законченная работа на модели корабля. К сожалению (есть причина), я был не в состоянии показать процесс строительства. От меня это мало влияет. Тем не менее, подлежат рассмотрению в силе, я постараюсь, чтобы сделать хорошее фото студию и добавить к этой теме.

Congratulations,
I have been quietly following your log, and have been truly inspired by it.  Maybe one day I will attempt something similar.

You can see it now Carl!

Done! Finished! I finished the model finally!

The flags were the final touch.
I re-painted them with acrylic paint in order to let be "less shiny".
Now it will take some time to pack all the tools and accessories used during this year...
I made a bit more photo than usual, just to show better the final appearance of the model.
The last photo shows its final positioning in the wall niche.
 
 

Continuation.

I plucked this info from a Dutch forum.  The person building it had contacted Billing Boats in order to obtain building instructions in pdf.
 
This is the discription as per forum modelbouwers.nl
'Quote:'
De Deense vissersboot Niels Juel H. 137 werd in 1887 te Gilleleje aan de noordkust van Seeland op de werf Ferdinand Carlsen & David Anderson voor Theodor Wassard uit Kobenhavn gebouwd.
De Niels Juel was ongeveer 37 voet (ca. 11 m) lang, woog 16,5 ton en had een geklonken romp. Oorspronkelijk uitgerust met 1 grootzeil, 1 stagfok, 3 kluivers en 1 topzeil, werd dit later veranderd in 1 grootzeil en 1 fok, hiernaar is dit model gemaakt.
In 1906 werd er een 8pk petroleummoter ingebouwd.
Na in 1931 verkocht te zijn aan een rokerij en visexporteur uit Gilleleje, nam in 1934 een schipper uit Skaelskor het schip over.
Op 9 april 1940 zonk de Niels Juel op een reis met politieke vluchtelingen van Denemarken naar Zweden in de met ijsschotsen bedekte Öresund nadat ze door de Wehrmacht beschoten was. De bemanning kon zich op een ijsschots redden.

Translated it says:
The Danish Fishing vessel Niels Juel H 137 was built in 1887 in Gilleleje (north east coast of Seeland) in the shipyard of Ferdinand Carlsen & David Anderson for Theodor Wassard from Kobenhavn (Kopenhaven).
It measured 37 voet (ca. 11 m) lang, had a displacement of 16,5 ton and was clinker (klinker?) built . Originally fitted with 1 main sail, staysail, 3 jibs and a topsail.  This was later changed to 1 mainsail and 1 staysail, which is the basis of this model
In 1906 an 8pk petrol engine was fitted.
It was sold to a fish smoking and exporting buisiness from Gilleleje in 1931, and resold again to a local scipper  in 1934.
On 9th of april 1940 the Niels Juel sank on a trip carrying political refugees from Denmark to Sweden in the ice covered Öresund after being attacked by the German Wehrmacht.

Hope this helps

had a similar bad experience with computers.  My external hard drive packed in - one of its heads dropped off.  5000 pictures, 7 years of notes and some development documents lost for ever, and I did not have back-up of them, didn't think is necessary at the time.  Know better now.
 
Anyway, wish you all the strength to get back on the right track and to continue this log.

Thank you everybody for the smart and "silent" support!
Thank you JesseLee!
 
In these days I am very busy with work and the progress on the model is proceeding very slowly (well, just like observing a glacier movement!! )
I almost completed the standing rigging of the mizzen mast.
After many afterthoughts, I finally decided to don't use the deadeyes for the mizzen top-mast shrouds.
After checking contemporary models, paintings, drawings I decided that they were not used on these small ships, in that position of the mast and in that part of the Mediterranean basin. I used instead the heart type ones.
Since I added the mizzen top-mast stay, now I can add the blocks to it, too.
I finally decided to not add the rope ladder that almost reach the top of the main mast.
The presence of the ladder will add more mess in an already messy deck...
In addition, it must be considered that I am too lazy to make it, too...

It is a tablet with a longitudinal section. the subject with forceps.
deadeyes for the foremast, I'll make new welds.
I bought pear wood and ebony

Hello, dear friends!
Thank you for your kind words and support.
I appreciate your comments very much.
 
The five "Baille à Drisse" I have finished in the meantime.
To get an idea, I have placed the five container on the deck.

 

 

 

Hi Albert,
thank you for the nice comment.
 
So it goes on with the construction report.
 
To rig the 18 pounder I'm still researching on with respect to the breeching ropes. Was this right laid or left laid?
In the meantime, I'm doing the "Baille à Drisse", some sort of container for
coiling of ropes, such as the topsail-haylard.
On the French Corvette was thereof a total of 5 units available. 2 pieces each in front of the foremast and the mainmast and 1 piece in front of the mizzen mast.
Here I show the detail of the plan by J. Boudriot.

This is an example of this container on the model of the Belle Poule from the Musée national de la Marine in Paris.

For the French corvette I make the container of sheet brass. The upper and lower parts were etched. The drawing for the film I made myself. The etching is done by a service provider.
After assembly, the part is still burnished. But thereof next time more.

 

 

Gears from cable ties. Any diameter-width-color...
Thx

Thanasis, just genious !!!!

what was it that made you check the plans again?  Could be helpful for other people.
