Ed, I have a bit of a silly question, I'm affraid. You show your treenailing using bamboo, using white glue (?). Every now and then, you wash the glue. Does this washed off glue not penetrate the wood, and thus make it more difficult to apply a finish afterwards? Jan

I guess she is. Jan

That's a real black box I like the way you disguised the corners of it, by allowing the black paint on the deck itself. Jan

The one with flowers on his head (actually, on his crown) is the lion on the Zeven Provincien in Lelystad. Jan

The lady in white suggests an other famous teaclipper Jan

I meant the second: will it remain in the correct curvature when dried. Jan
-
Just wondering: will your deckbeams hold their curve? Jan
-
Somethig like HMS Bristol? Jan
-
And this is the lion at the Batavia: JHaving a crown was quite uncommong (The ZP is one of the few ships known with a crowned lion)

But Northam never had a fouth mast ?.... Jan

Good point, I didn't realize ... I don't think that narrows the search down, however.... Jan
-
guess again: port jackson? Jan
-
Problem is: four masted barques with gunport paterns were pretty standard around those days..... Jan

Wild guess, as I can't find this specific picture: is it Moshulu? Jan

Throat-seizing for the shrouds on dead-eyes
amateur replied to dancat's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
You can do it like this, but.... after attaching the lanyards, it is hardly visible that you did the 'vertical' seizing. Also: as the shrouds are far more playable that the Original stuff, puttin gthe whole thing at a ceratin amount of tension, tends to remove the little gap between the parts of the shroud. But okay, mine is scale 1:100, so at larger scale it will probably visible. But t's fun to do The vertical throat seizing is not done differently from the 'normal' ones: make a small loop in the shroud, make the seizing, then insert the deadeye and fiddle around until it is at the correct height, secure the seizing, and make a second (and third) one above the throat seizing.

Might as well be one of many new zealand or australian wool ships..... Quite a few of those four masted ships have been build Jan

Very nice indeed Jan

He made room for it in advance, so I think he will. Jan

I know the story (at least the MSW1-version of it) Had a discussion with him on the place where to find drawings of both Java and O19 in the Dutch archives. Jan

It is indeed HrMs Java down south. You're pretty good in searching. Need to dig a bit deeper..... Perhaps some obscure laker Jan

No, not a tug. World has indeed turned upside down :) Next one will be a tug. Jan

Next one

Bingo: schooner reylands, rebuild as a brig (hispaniola) for the movie treasure Island. Jan
