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.

Hello Nils,
 
Every time a great pleasure to read your build log.
 
I wish you and your wife a Happy New Year.

More progress! I'm thinking that I would change what was originally going to be mast base to a pot of quills that way I can still hold down the deck with something that could have possibly been there. The block forward of deck centre will be the mast block where they would put the base of the mast in and give them a lever point to raise the mast against . The space between the rudder and deck rail is there for the boys to leave the centre deck and get off the ship to shore or another vessel for more battle. There is going to be a space between the railing and the bow enclosed railing for the same purpose as the aft space. All this stuff makes sense to me because extra arrows on deck may come in handy because you can never have too many. The mast block makes sense too because of the simple mechanical advantage of it and I'm sure they weren't a bunch of boneheads building these ships so they would know how it would benefit them. The railings would serve two functions A. Stop them from falling overboard too easily B. Give them something sturdy to hang on to as they make their way back and forth. C. Set up and spaced for easy and rapid entering and exiting of the area for warriors and rowers. As I read about the ships of those times I'm getting a better understanding and also the missing info lets me fill in the blanks myself, I just love doing stuff like that. Charon is going to be a real challenge I'm very much looking forward to that one.

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.

Wow, Patrick, looking really great!
 
She's looking very sleek and elegant. And it's good to see your thought process teasing out how to get the functionality you're looking for! 
 
And, I especially love the shot your son took of your workstation - really puts things in perspective, and also gives a 'behind the scenes' feel with the various drawings and tools lying about. 
 
Glad to hear you had a good Christmas, and all the best for the New Year!

Hi everyone
 
By jove, I think I'm getting the hang of this superstructure riddle! Slowly, by slowly, it's starting to come together. It's been a long haul, but at least I'm getting there. Still a bucket load of work to go, though.
 
My son took the following photos; hence why they're better than anything I could do.
 
Have a great New Year and thanks to all who commented and hit the Like button!
 
Cheers

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
