Hallo Unterstützer,

 

Ich bin sehr gespannt, wie ihr den Bau der Bugfestung lösen werdet. Da ich derzeit an einer ähnlichen Rekonstruktion arbeite, interessiert mich insbesondere die Konstruktion des über den Bug hinausragenden Galions im Hinblick auf Deckbalken und Seitenwandanbindung. Balkweger (ich kenne den englischen Namen nicht) sind dort nicht möglich.

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

Good day Baker,

All the best!

Kirill

Okidoki. 

An old men with a smartphone and google translate....

Mis understand 😉

I can't see the whole drawing.

But to me this is to raise the yard of your topsail.

is attached somewhere on the port or starboard side.

correct English name??

You can get more information, but then I have to start searching in my books first

What about “Vasa”

Probably yes.

They are on the 1/1 "scale model" 😉

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. 

A very nice model Bob.

Congrats 

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.

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

Nice dio.

well done.

Do the inventory lists say anything about what type of guns in the bow fort were?

In many contemporary images of carracks, the gun barrels look as if they could be rotating bases, i.e. cannons mounted in fork mounts. such would allow downward shots.

I also think that the longbow was the far more effective weapon in this era, and an elevated shooting position was an advantage.

Should boarding the enemy over the shrouds be reconsidered instead of jumping into the depths?

 

...but I'm not a warrior.

There is an inventory on wikisource.

https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Anthony_Roll

In three parts.

Part one, Carracks 

https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Anthony_Roll/First_roll

Nice work. 

I just almost ordered a yellow one, with the red seats.

When I got to the  “pay now” page. my visa card refused  🤣

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.

Since I'm starting the fore castle earlier than planned, I haven't looked at this properly yet.

According to what I have read briefly, it should look like it is drawn on the cover of the MR book.
2 light cannons and all the are rest swivels, or hail shot pieces 

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.

happy Birthday.
Is there any cake left?😉

I've seen these images before. 

This isn’t a carrack.

Carracks from mr. Breugel with high castles.

And a wel know image of a typical Carrack 

In the MR book there is an inventory (from the year 1514) of the cannons and their position on the decks in several ships. 

All the large ships (4 of them) have at least 2 decks in the fore castle 

Nice model.
