  1. Welcome back 😉 Nice work from you and your daughter
  2. When I built my SR, long ago. I thought it was supposed to be a bucket with "something" in it. Not really recommended to put this on your model 😉
  3. I do indeed first give the deck a few layers of varnish (danish oil). On the places where something has to be glued later I scratch this layer away. And then glue the object there with normal wood glue.
  4. The keel is 60cm, 24 inch. Length overall shoud become maximum 124cm, about 50 inches. And, Thanks all for likes and comments 👍
  5. Planking the rear of the forecastle. A part of a decorative "drain" was found at the remains of the rear castle. This probably served to drain water from the deck to the sides of the hull. So why wouldn't there be one at the forecastle? This drain was made of a solid oak tree trunk, and on the model it is built up from several layers of cherry and twisted iron wire. The drain is in place and the planks applied. Gluing plank by plank and letting it dry took a while. Planking sanded and further finishing in progress.
  6. Thanks. If you have time. The model will be on display at this event. https://www.modelbouwforum.nl/threads/modelbouwersdag-expo-historische-scheepsmodellen-2025.291459/
  7. Made a second ladder (writes the same in Dutch as in English (so the English language is derived from the Dutch language...😇) And deck number2 is planked, so i started on "the rear" of the forecastle.
