Yesterday your text was in English and now in German?I understand the German language, but writing in German ... The hull under the fore castle will be further planked with horizontal planks up to the top rail of the waist. What will happen next above this planking, only the future will tell. step-by-step, so patience, patience, patience

First. Thanks everyone for watching, liking and comments. Building the upper part of the hull at the waist. We change from fraims on the inside of the planking to standards on the outside. Planking is quite thin here, only about 4cm 1/1 scale. First the stadards, luckily some of these remained. And my standards were created based on them. One by one, time consuming Glue the standards in place after dry fitting Then the planking on the rear castle is neatly cut. The first plank The second plank, all hands (clamps) on deck. Additional supports around the gun ports. Glued the middle rail in place And the top rail. The starboard side is ready, the tops of the rails still need to be shortened slightly. I'm happy with the look of this part, if I say so myself

Before Steven builds something, a lot of research is done in advance. There is always a lot to learn in his build logs. And they are great to follow.

Well, that's where we are at the moment. I think the books have some errors... Standard 81T0833 This arrangement is therefore not correct at all. And is shamelessly copied in the next book. And this is what it actually looks like in the drawing. A channel or rigging rail a little bit lower. The Calderkraft model also follows this arrangement. Thanks @Mr Pleasant And so does our Russian colleague. https://www.shipmodeling.ru/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=71379 thanks @firdajan next horizontal planking or curved straight Most from this period seem to go for horizontal. The curved straight ones are starting to become a bit old-fashioned in this period, it seems to me Thanks for following

In the meantime, i continued with the fore castle basis. This time I checked in time whether any problems will arise with the schrouds. So yes, my cardboard structure was much too wide at the top. Error corrected just in time. The base starts at an angle of 45° following the (few) remains of the fore castle. And then with a curve upwards. As always too high or too long, shortening later is easier than lengthening. Applying the second was a little more challenging. Additional temporary supports were then installed. And i continued with finishing the waist. Gluing done on starboard side, now on to port side. Sanding is for later.

Seen too late, sorry. But this ring goes on top of the periscopes, and not in front of them. Your Commander doesn't see anything this way.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
