To build Gianna has made a lot of fun.  Now I will start the next model, the Statenjacht Utrecht.
 
Cheers Hartmut

Thanks to Nils, all the Likes!!!
 
Tody I had to takel Giannas  jibsail. Before that I had to turn some belaynails. 3mm ramin is a good material for this job.
 

 

 
And here the nails in place
 
 
 
Gianna with all sails
 

 

 

 
Next days I will modell all the little parts like cargo and finish the dinghy.

Ahoy, Mates,
 

 
 
Modelling is more to me than just craftmansshipp, it is always a little dreaming.
  Some of the images are from this beautiful dream world.               Best regards Hartmut

Thanks, Patrick!
 
There are to projects. First will be the Statenjacht Utrecht. I have got two wonderfull books over this ship and scratch building the modell from SeawatchBooks. 
 
Furthermore, I do research on plans for a galleon from the time of Queen Elisabeth1.

a strange turn of events.........the gangway ladder........yes!   I did start on it....as I mentioned,  I sized it,  installed the locator tabs.......sanded it a bit more to define the rungs a bit more,  drilled the holes for placement.....   but the thought of assembling the aft section of the trawl rig,  to the first section was stuck in my mind.   taking a smaller dowel,  and a number of dry fits { to be sure of the angle....proper or otherwise},  I was able to come up with the pair of support bars,  I was going to need.  I have a plan to assemble it,  so it is still removable....it's just that it's going to be very 'tail heavy'.
 
first thing I did was cement the main deck ladder in place........I didn't bother with the roof ladder just yet.
 

 
it starts out with attaching the cables to the top of the gangway.  once the aft section is cemented in place with the two support bars.....these will be attached.   then it can be taken off the model,  and patched together at the base,  with mending plats on both sides {inner and outer}.
 

 
I was going to try and do the mending plates on the model,  but I was afraid that cement might get under everything and adhere it to the deck.  the port side cable is attached.  that is also the reason why there is a clamp on the deck.....it popped off and went flying........good thing it didn't break anything!
 

 

 
when the starboard cable was attached......my idea went south!   with it laying on the table,  it was very unstable.......I was afraid it was going to break!
 

 
so I ended up doing an about face on that plan.........before I cemented it in place,  I did the roof ladder first.   I'll touch up both ladders later.   I'll do the mending plates later as well,  now that the base is firmly seated.  the 'T' vent need to have some flat black swabbed in the vent holes........after that it was cemented in place.
 

 

 

 
so now..........it's touch up and lick my wounds....after this little escapade......    if I were to do a TV show,  I think I'd call it "Plan gone Wild" !     the only real bad point about this,  is that now if I need to drill any holes and stuff.....I'll have to do it on the boat.   ahhhh, what the heck........at least I have it on there now 
 
 

Thanks to all!

Little update....
 
I`m at the foremast upper shrouds now and stropping all the blocks for the fore-topsail, which will come next
 
 
Nils
 
 

 
I`m rigging (Bracing) the yards at 45° angle
 
 

 
looking a bit more dynamic with braced sails
 
 

 
tack, sheet and brace lines not attached to the lower squaresails yet
 
 

 
one hand for your life the other for the ship......
 
 

 
the third swivel (from bow) points through the lower shrouds, directly obove the swivel elevation the shroud cleats will be attached as well as an additional ratline that also fixes the cleat fastening
 
 

Thanks to all!
