  1. Next steps was to make the guns At first I changed the brass into bronze by painting it with acrylic (old gold mixed with black) And than the wooden parts. Milling the side panels of the gun carriadges. Side panels and other parts after cutting by band saw and sanding First attempt Making the axis and the weels The first finished gun A board At At last for today I had to modell 4 swivel guns for the stern. There were 4 guns from an older project. So it was easy to me to modify they into swivels. Cheerio! Hartmut
  2. Next job on the Golden Hind was to make the channels. I have made it from 2,5 x 2,5 mm bras, The gun port lids For this parts I had to make a lot of parts The parts of the hinges are from bras, burnished with Nerofor from Ballistol, a german Company Cheers! Hartmut
  3. Hello Maurice! Yes I am fine and modelling is still a great pleasure. In the last time I have finished the Pinco Genovese and the Staatenyacht Utrecht. My current project is the Golden Hind on an old german plan by Hoeckel. I hope you are fine to. Do you know something about Pete Coleman? regards Hartmut

  6. Hey, Omega! Me and my family are very well. But the summer this year had been so warm that I was more interested in swimming, barbecue with friends and family as to sit in my dockyard. And there had been two wonderful journeys with my admiral to the Lofoten (north Norway) and to Denmark. Best regards Angarfather
  7. Aye, Omega 1234 very amazing pics from your model. When I was an boy I dreamed of sailing on such ships. Best regards Angarfather
  8. After finishing the out side planking I have made the planking of the main deck. The question was how wide the planks must be. The only binding information I found in the report of the wreck of the Mary Rose. Here is the plank width 50cm. This corresponds to 15mm in scale 1:33. After this I planked the inside of the main deck and cut in the gun ports. Next job was to make the fore castle. There were quite a few parts to do. There are deck beams, mast tracks, anchor and foremast bitt and another hatch. An other question was how to paint the walls inside. Because I didn't find a research result I did paint teh walls with English Red. But see yourself here are a few pics. Cheers!!! Hartmut
  9. Hello guys! The summer 2018 was to warm to stay in the dockyard for modeling. It was a good time for barbecue, swimming and lazing around with old friends sitting in the garden enjoying an ice-cold beer. And last but not least there were to wunderfull journeys together with my admiral to the Lofoten islands in Norway and the Møn Island in Danmark. In the last two weeks the planking was done. Here are some pics of the Golden Hind today. Best regards Angarfather

After this I use spacer blocks to mount the bow part of the wale in the middle The last wale piece Next step was planking the space between the two lower wales and the stern. Cheers! Hartmut
  11. Thanks, guys for your kind compliments! Next steps was to make the keel, the stemson and the bob stay piece of the head. I have made the pieces from mahogany, planed with the thickness planer. Next I make and bring in the walls. Cheers Hartmut
  12. Hello Nils. fantastic work, I think the last picture of the main deck is particulary impressive. It makes it clear to me what dangerous weapon systems These ship had been. Cheers Hartmut
