Hi Carl That would look quite chic on my business card next to my MSc ... a MFC. Cheers Pieter -
Hi all Finally got some work done on Bellona. I placed all the boxes of the dummy guns on both sides and fitted them on one side with the faux carriages which was absolute agony in the derrière ... happy with the result though. Overall impression View from the side The upper two were the worst. I think a novice surgeon after having successfully accomplished his first arthroscopic whatever in the knee feels about the same as I did ... So. If anyone wants to copy this procedure, here's a few tips. First: as per the plans, cut to size the U-shaped boxes and paint them black. Not the front because these are going to be glued to the planks. Then: prepare your faux carriages, paint them but don't paint the back of the sides as they are going to be glued to the "wall" of the box. Then: make a few scratches in the wall where the carriages are going to be glued to give the glue some hold. Then: glue the carriage in the box. And finally glue the box with the carriage in place. If you have enough time and patience and a soundproof workshop or a tolerant, loving, forgiving Admiral: do as I did and first glue the boxes in place. Best of luck. Moving on to the other side ... Cheers Pieter

Hm, nice idea ... but with the barrel attached you wouldn't see it anymore ... I leave that to the 1:48 specialists ;o)

She will have too, be patient! And she won't sink ! She has a solid hull so she'll float in any position. Thanks for all the likes! Cheers Pieter

Working on dummy carriages for the dummy cannon. As I am not an astrophysicist I don't like the look of the black holes with just the cannon pointing out so I stole someone's idea (can't remember where I saw it but it was was on the forum, thank you if you read this!) and made dummy carriages. The process is quite straight forward. Prepare a strip of scrap wood (thank you Dremel), glue a second strip on the lower half as a filler to create some distance between the front of the "carriage" and the hull, cut them off, add two tiny pieces posing as the sides of the faux carriage et voilà. Cheers Pieter

Update. Working on the captain's quarters. Made a railing, carved pillars adjacent to the door, fixed "ribs" for the projected galleries. The whole thing makes me think of something out of a SF movie ... Cheers Pieter

Hi Karen I would try the stuff they use to clean oil paintings. Best of luck! Cheers Pieter -
Do you know anyone with kids? Most of them play (or have played) with Lego blocks. The big ones are very useful to fit the bulwarks in a 90° angle to the false keel. Clasp them on the keel and the bulwark and wait for the glue to dry. Also a build stand comes in handy and is easy to make. Cheers Pieter

Best of luck! Seems like a fun project, the only thing you won't have to do is spend hours on making rat lines ;o) Cheers Pieter

Not that bad, it was probably an Amsterdam foot ( 0,2831 meter), not a Rijnlandse foot (0,3140 meter) so that's a little less stink.

I'm not finished with the decorations yet! There's also e.g. Pes Equinovarus Adductus to consider. Or her sister, Pes Equinovalgus. Or their mum, Pes Sarium. Be patient!

He's just impressed by the two goddesses by his side: Hallux Valgus and Hallux Rigidus.

Time to tackle the transom. I first tried to create something with card but that didn't work. I thought it would be easier to bend, which it was, but I wanted to cut out a portion to make a balcony for the captain. More experienced card builders probably would've done it with one hand on their back but I made a mess. So back to wood. Thaaaat's better. The sides are going to be planked and I am going to cut out windows. I hope the captain likes the deco. Oops, is this NSFW? The captain, enjoying the view. Dry fit: I'm happy with it. Next: plank the sides, make windows nope, changed my mind: make quarter galleries, plank the deck, make a railing and figure out some more decorations... Cheers Pieter
