great work Doris
You are not only handy with card and other materials, but also with electricity.

happy holidays from Belgium

Nice model

Hello,

Started with planking of the deck

General rules in 16th century deck planking :  there are no rules, use all your wooden planks that you have left ... and is the deck waterproof, then it is good.

some examples

I also made a ladder.

This will be glued on the model when the anchor cable is in place.

The original planks were probaly nailed and the head of the nail was caulced. 
Planks are provided with treenails ( the caulcing) in advance and have already been colored once before glueing on to the model.

Work in progress

The third box of toothpicks....

Thanks for following and merry christmas

Well done and merry christmas

Well done.
Much extra work, but the model looks much better now. 

Very nicely done.

Greetings Patrick

Here is a sketch I found. Just dare it! Keepers of the holy grails of planking patterns look away!

 

Build the real thing and you will be expelled from the forum 😉

oops.
I planned to do something like this pattern with the deck of my Golden Hind. 

Thanks for the sketch, very interesting

Welcome to MSW and greeting from Belgium.

With this simple tool I can mark the deck level where ever I want in the hull.

Well done

A simple tool usually works the easiest
 

Good luck with your Victory kit

Thank you GL

Installing the cannon barrels.  As already explained. Various sizes and callibers.

The barrles are glued on the carriages with ca glue. Holes have been drilled above the ports.

Next step, deck planking (nothing glued yet).

Thanks for following and likes

Hello everyone

Michael, he has not caught a rat yet. But mice are no longer safe in our garden..😸

Continue with the model.
The channels have finally been installed. There were quite a few difficult pieces to make.

I think I'm going to place the cannons now.

Thanks for following and likes.

Some info,

Pretty tight quarters -- especially if the crew were sharing it with, say, an 85 mm AT round.  😳

The StuG IIIf was the first  model to receive the long 7.5cm L/43 cannon. Later models had the L/48.

In combination with the low silouette of the vehicle, this was very effective against enemy tanks.
Somewhere I once read that by the summer of 1943 alone the StuG's were responsible for about 30,000 destroyed Russian tanks.
Best needed if you know that in 1942 the average tank production of the German Panzer IV 100 was pieces per month.
The Russians then already built 1000 T34 per month..

Interior photos of a StuG IIIg the next model, comparable to the f model. 

Ps,

Great model !!

ZAP CA thin (pink bottle).
Am very satisfied with it. My bottle is now two years old and is always sealed airtight after use. The glue is still of good quality 

Nice work Antony

Looks good.

At first sight, i thought you had taken a picture of a real ship with your drone.

That is mighty nice planking! I wonder how many of these lovely boats have survived, how many restored or converted into house boats. Could you tell a bit more about the old yachts, materials used and their dimensions?

Unfortunately i find only information in the Dutch language.

Google search = Boeier

Lower deck drainage. The De Zeven Provincien reconstruction from 1665 has the drainage well portrayed.. 

Thank you for sharing this information 👍

Beautifully made Kortes

I can help you with the names in Dutch
It is :  Friesch boeierjacht Sperwer

"Friesch" comes from "Friesland", a province in the northern part of the Netherlands

"Boeier" is the type of ship that you make.

"Sperwer" is the name of the ship (a bird, sparrow)

Indeed.

The detailing of this model is very good
very pleasant build to follow.

Hello,

After some searching and testing i restarted building again. 
During this period, the channels can be at different heights on the hull. Probably they were placed  where they fit best and there were no specific rules in the 16th century.

The channels of the front mast are under construction.

In the meantime I received "assistance". 
Felix the cat, he is now part of the family for two months and is eight months old. 
He prefers to help build tanks in our heated kitchen. For the moment, he does not like the "cold" shipyard in the attic

Tired of helping in the tank factory. Turn off the light please, i need sleep...
