Golden Hind by Rock_From_Korea - 1:48

Welcome back 😉 Nice work from you and your daughter -
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 😉

Glueing wooden model pieces
Baker replied to Bill97's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
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. -
Nice model
-
The keel is 60cm, 24 inch. Length overall shoud become maximum 124cm, about 50 inches. And, Thanks all for likes and comments 👍

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.

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.

Nice work. Sorry to hear about Sierra 😪
-
Too late for this info. On this small scale it is usually impossible to get the holes in the tracks to fit the teeth of the sprocket. That is why I always removed the teeth that touch the tracks. Works much easier.
-
Thanks Steven, In the meantime, one ladder is placed and one deck has been planked. Of course, no nice straight planks, but bits and pieces. And nailed...

I always gave them a metallic color first. Then glued them to the model. And then painted them further

The Gokstad Ship 900 AD by Siggi52 - 1:50
Baker replied to Siggi52's topic in - Subjects built Up to and including 1500 AD
I repeat myself (again). Beautiful very beautiful work -
After a long break, we started again on Mary. The fore castle is painted, but the upper part was not really successful I thought. Too high and too green. So the height was adjusted. And repainted. Better, I think. Time to start on the 2 cannons in the fore castle. With special thanks to @henrythestaffy for the 3D printed cannons,much appreciated. (The brass cannons upper left are fore the Brandenburger yacht) there will be little to see of the carriages. So spend i little time on the details. Make wheels Use the crosscut saw to saw thin pieces. so that you can then knock out wheels across the grain. The barrels will be glued on later. A stair on both the sides is too much Then the stair to the upper deck must be in the middle. And that is just before the entrance (arrow). So from the lower deck a staircase on the starboard side. And to the upper deck a staircase on the port side. The error in the planking will be invissible later
