Joachim , I will show the process in pictures, if you have any questions, I will try to answer them.

Thank you all .
Getting near the end of the build. The last major part - the gun :
All that's left to do are some minor details - a 50 cal machine gun, some jerry cans and tools, etc.

As Carl already said: funnel looks better now.
could you do a pic with a referenceobject for size?
I am a bit lost when I look at those parts. You call them big guns, They look huge, but I suspect that is pure delusion.

I like the red, but as it is quite heavily shaded in with black ,the overall impression is (at least on my screen) a bit on the dark side.

HiVossie,
it is even weirder: the botteloef is not a bowsprit in a normal way. Therefore, next to this botteloef (and its extension 'opsteker'), these ships often had a separate boom as bowsprit.
the botteloef is intended to have the fore sail forward as much as possible, as that improves sailing qualities. (And that is also the reason that some owners had the botteloef extended using such an opsteker: getting the fore sail even further forward. )

amateur got a reaction from mtaylor in How to establish the lenght of a deck plank?
Strict rules on plank length, shift-patterns etc. were not around when the Revenge was build. Archeological evidence suggest there is quite a margin to fudge
