  1. Another part of the decoration added. And then the sun came out....look at the last photos, it must have been a breathtaking sight at sea in this weather. Jan
  2. Unbelievable....... incredible what you can do with that little model. My hat off. Jan
  3. GrandpaPhil: Thank you, I'm still working on it while I can ( In the summer I will slow down, be sure ) Jan
  4. Baker: thank you, Patrick. I made another part of the decoration. And as I said it goes very slowly... but if I count correctly, there are more than 500 pieces of gilded parts on the ship already... and this is just one quarter.... Jan
  5. Here is the another part of decoration. Another one will follow...and I´m still at the beginning...
  6. I know it very well. But I think you should add more ribs and do more solid hull, at first to sand it to the shape and then put the first layer of the planking from more pieces. The hull would be stronger and it could save you a lot of sanding. Here is the ribbing of the similar ship made by me ( and as you can see I used the corrugated cardboard too ).
  7. Hi friends, I starded making friezes at the upper gunports and very soon I find out I had a problem. Distances between wales are increasing backwards from 7 to 9 - 10 milimeters. Now I don´t know why, I made the hull 12 years ago...but It was not possible to make mold or something like this for serial production ( I needed 100+ pieces), because every piece was original...🙄 .... so I had to draw them and use 3D printing. Then fit each piece to its place... but I think the result is quite good. Jan
  8. All the best in the new year to you all I didn´t have a lot of time, but I made some parts. Lanterns on the sides of the aft are made, and I improved the galion. I think now it is better and is more coresponding with the rest of the ship. Jan
  9. Tops of the galleries are almost finished, I just have to make the edges. Nothing special, just take a shape, produce and glue aproximately 300 pcs of covering, paint it and color edges by the tip of finger... I had nice evenings🥰 And maybe you will notice some decorations on the round gunports😉 Jan
  10. Thanks, friends. Just a small update ( as always😁) I finally start with spiral staircases and tops of quarter galeries. They are just semi products, but the main thing is they fit to their places. And, maybe you can see the place I prepared for the belfry😉 Jan
  11. Simply excellent. A view of what a complete ship would probably look like today. Thanks Jan
