Many thanks for all your kind words Frist I had some problems to make the bricks. I tryed to model they from wood, but that looks like firewood for the fireplace. At last I remembered a forgotten box with restovers from railway modelling long time ago. And in it I found three varietys of brickwall paper. Exactly what I was looking for. And this is the coloured fireplace. I did use Oxid of Chromium (green) Raw Sienna and Van Dyk Brown. As a friend of mine ( his is an restorer himself) says are this colours which are used for such decorations in the baroque. Cheers Hartmut

Many thanks, guys! @aviaamator: the right diameter should be 1,5277 mm. First I have made the handle from 1,6mm brass. But that doesn't look good to my eyes, therefore I have made it from 2mm We had a wonderfull Christmas Evening and Christmas Day with our children and six grandchildren. And so its good to grandfather to relax some times in the dockyard before the next celebration will start in the evening. Now some pictures from modelling the fireplace. Tomorrow I will look for the right colour. It will be a specuial green. Best regards Hartmut

Many thanks to Piet and Mark and all the "Likes". Aproblem to me: the curtains of the alcove. Fortunately my Admiral is a very good tailor herself. Therefore it was no problem to her to make the curtains from light green silk. To install they it into the alcoves was my job. No,to work with textil isn't a pleasure to me. The next problem. There was no red velvet for the matresses in the workshops store. But my Admiral recommeded to take the dark blue. And, so she said, it is of good quality. A merry Christmas and a happy new year to all from Hannover - Germany Hartmut

Thanks to Omega1234,Cees, Nils and all the "Likes" The crew mess is done, and so I can install the deck beams above. A particularly interesting point for I had to make the frame of the the skylight. After some thought, I'll plank the deck only on the starboard side. So the interior is still to be seen. Therefore I have the knees of the deck beams on the portside installed from here. The frames of the wals of the Great Cabin Cheers Hartmut

Thanks guys! Making the interrior. First I made the crew's mess to exercise. The walls were built in the carpenter manner. At first the base and the stems, which are then filled with plywood. Messdoor To find out the right color scheme is not so easy. In the Baroque intensive colors were typical . According to historical sources, and also the pictures from the construction of the replica I use carmine red, cadmium red, light yellow ocher, dark green and prussian blue. This colours were combined with gold at the Statenyacht. After several attempts I did now use tempera by Schminke and Lucas. Carmine red for the stems, cadmium red for the walls and yellow ocher for the floor in this area Cheers Hartmut
