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.

I have started the next project, an elizabethanian galleon.
I use some plans I did find in two old german modeling books, Mondfeld, Historische Schiffsmodelle, a german classic from the early 70., and Stoeckel,Risse von Schiffen des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts. Both authors showed very similar plans of an elizabethanian galleon, named Golden Hind or ex Pelican. It may be a model of Drakes Golden Hind. How Golden Hind looked exactly is unclear. But I like the plans, and they also seems quite right for the type Galeone of the english sailors in the time of queen Elizabeth Tudor.
 
Fist step was to modify the slipway. For the aligning of the frames on the keel plate I use a cross line laser

Hello guys,
 
the last two weeks I have made the Gallion. Here are some pics. First the gallions construction. It is made in the same way as I know it from the mediteranien ships like my Pinco Genovese.

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.

Fixing the Wales
The 5/32" x 3/64" milled Boxwood Strips provided by Jason, are a pleasure to work with.

5002
The forward end was given a little  water/heat treatment to impart a tension free curve around the bow, but along the sheer the strips sat down on the guide strip without much pressure.

5062
I left the guide strips in situ during fixing the lower wale strip which I found to be useful. The push pin heads held the wale strip close to the bulkheads whilst the glue set, and wooden pegs held the strip down tight on the guide.

5069
The second upper layer of the wale is added.

Paint considerations
At this time painting around and inside the gun ports is suggested, mainly I suspect because once the moulding strip  below the ports, and the bulwarks are planked, painting the small rebate around the ports without marring the Boxwood would be difficult.
This doesn't fully address the issue tho'  as I can imagine there will need to be a fair bit of touching up following the thinning down of the bulwark interiors.
 
I have used the paint mix I used for my Long boat build to lay down an initial coat of paint, but doubt I have enough for Cheerful . These days I am always careful to make sure I have enough to finish the job when using a mix, something that has caught me out on a previous project.
 
I've ordered a few paint samples to run a test, if I can find a ready mixed paint that fits the bill, all the better.

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

Hi folks
 
Just another quick update on Genesis’ interior accommodation.  I know it’s only a small part, but a couple of days ago, I did the crews mess up forward on the Lower Deck.  
 
I also did the companionway ladder leading from the aft of the Main Deck to the Upper Deck.  And...as the furniture layout in the Sky 
Lounge was really bugging me, I rearranged things a bit and came up with a better look, I think.
 
Still more work to go, folks.
 
Have a great Christmas!
 
Cheers.

Aye, Omega 1234
 
very amazing pics from your model.
 
When I was an boy I dreamed of sailing on such ships.

Aye, Mates,
 
many thanks for your kind interest in my new project.
 
I am building the hull in an unusual way. Instead of a first planking I glue in plywood between the bulkheads. Than I had to sand it into its shape. Here are some pics from this way.







This construction results in a very stable hull. Next. I'll plan the material for the wales, the keel and the deck beams. I still have a few pieces of mahagony that will work well for that. The planks I will make from pear.That can look pretty good together.

Welcome back, nice planking.

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.
