Making a railing for the quarterdeck.

Drilling all the holes for the metal pins seems excessive. But it makes for easy installation later.

Clamp the parts in the vice and glue with CA.

Ready

Making the "overloop" (I don't think there's an English word for this). These are for attaching the main and fore sail sheets.

Corel doesn't provide this for the fore sail. So, no room.
Too far forward

Or in the mast

So, the mast needs to be moved aft...

Work in progress.

Railing in place (and the main sail "overloop").

The renovated deck on the cabin is also ready

Fore sail "overloop" in place.

Beautiful work Olli 

Cannon production

Step 1: prototype

Step 2: carriages painted and barrels in place

Step3: ready for last painting

Step 3 ready

I didn't like the first method of planking in this area.
So I cut the 2mm planks from the kit to 1mm. And planked again.

Hi Patrick

 

I'm curious - the leeboards are massive, & unless I'm missing something the plate behind that supports them isn't very large & is only at the top - so the leverage on the top part of the board & the mechanism, at times, must be huge. It just looks quite surprising that this amount of structure & support is enough.... Any reflections of yours on this would be interesting to hear.

thanks, 

There is indeed no support on the rear side. 

A brand new replica leeboard on the rear side.

And years later during a maintenance,  you see also no supports on the port side leeboard.

It is possible that the separate pieces were held together with one or more long bolts, don't now.

Further continuation,

Toothpicks are for a stronger hold

The model is lifted up for each eyebolt to test for proper attachment (test passed six times).

Great work 

There are regulations for the thickness of ropes on Dutch ships from this period. But I haven't found any records of these ropes. I was in Amsterdam last Saturday at the Maritime Museum and took this photo there. Too thin is better than too thick, I think.

advanced machine. 

High-tech equipment 😉.

And the leeboards glued to the model.

Good luck, i follow.

Finishing the leeboards. 

Part of this project was to try out new techniques for me. I've discovered that copper and brass aren't my thing.

The heads of the copper nails are also too large for scale.

So, I removed the copper and continued with polystyrene sheet, strip, etc.

The result: the painted version with plastic fittings.

Congratulations, a very nice model. 

👍😉

Welcome back and good luck

Thanks. 

The axle of these leeboards was also horizontally adjustable. Moving them forward or backward affected their operation.

The "zwaarden" in Durch (English: boards??)

The kit parts are very basic. So, new ones need to be made.
