Planking of the stern. First to do The cannon deck will become almost completely invisible later, so I don't put much time and effort into it. The sides will be further finished later. To further plank the stern, I first need to determine where the cannon ports should be placed. And discovered that the stern was not completely symmetrical. Fortunately, I used PVA glue that can be loosened with isopropyl alcohol. Error corrected The lower stern planked and with the 2 cannon ports Low quality interior I first have to consider what the next steps on the model will be. And, the hobby room urgently needs a makeover. As well as two bedrooms, the wife says....

Canadian movements from D'Day to the end of August. https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/services/military-history/history-heritage/casualty-identification-military/normandy-france.html After that. Northern west France and then West Belgium (map) left Canadian (coastal side) middle Polish units (corresponds to my mother's stories) right english Be careful with a Mk.VII in Canadian service at this stage of the war. Scots guards? a Mk.VII = ok

I came across this a long time ago in a Kit from Heller or Revell. What I remember about it from back then. Tested a few times and then it ended in the trashbin, either I'm clumsy or the thing is unusable.

Ship in trouble by Ab Hoving - FINISHED
Baker replied to Ab Hoving's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
I'm glad the operation went well and you're feeling better again. A wrecked ship. This will be an interesting project. -
Thanks. No. I had no gaps in my little planks. But remember, on the original ship these planks were 10cm thick, 40 or 50 cm wide and meters long. Not easy to handle and to adjust once placed on the ships hull. So, if there is a gap between 2 planks under the waterline. Nail a batten over the gap, once the ship is launched. Gap, batten....? Where???😇. (My opinion 😉)

The side skirts, all other parts and some extras are in place, so the model ready for painting Next, 3 armoured cars. The idea is to build them in a series Unlike previous models, sharply cast parts

Last update of 2023 The scarfs in the keel parts have treenails and the battens have been applied. I'm not going to add any iron bolts or nails. All iron fasteners were caulced or shielded with wood (bolts in the keel) and are therefore invisible. If the seams between the planks are too wide and caulcing will not stay in place. What are you doing then.. knock a batten over it, and case closed. Personal view, I think it's a horrible sight. Battens And on the model The hull has only been sanded with 120 grit, so it still needs some better sanding. The next step is to install a deck and plank the stern. A happy 2024 to everyone

Finished with the treenailing of the hull Estimated quantity approximately 8500 pieces
