  1. Something new on this forum. A shipyard in a ship
  2. Hello everyone, Thanks Michael and Zappto for the comments and everyone for reacting. Short update. The channels of the main mast are ready. Now, i continue with the channels of the fore mast. This will not be a simple task at first sight. If I place them at the same height as on the main mast (red line), then they are is too wide at the front. If I place them higher (yellow line), Then the width of the channel is ok, but the upper part of my vertical pieces are too short So there is first some thinking and testing to do before i can build further. "Advice or tricks" are always welcome . For me the challenge is getting them at the same heigt (red line) Thanks for following
  3. Just an idea, I built this model a long time ago. Out of the box. Without extra detail (no documentation, no internet, and with little experience). what I remember well is that I had problems with the two hull halves to fit well together. Is it not better to put the hull halves together first and then to paint afterwards? And also to see if your newly created parts fit well on the hull. Greetings Patrick
  4. Welcome to MSW and have fun building al those models. Greetings Patrick
  5. Hello, Thank you G.L. Glad to be back on the shipyard ! I made and attached the channels and the "knees" below these channels. measurement, making and glueing. Lower knees in progress ready Thanks for following.
  6. Beautiful work Michael. I think that the ropes that lie on this deck are for the gunport doors on the deck below
  7. This is about a galley, built in England by a "imported" Venetian shipwright. Hopefully this is helpful for you.
  8. Hello everyone and thank you Moab. Slowly restarting with building and started with the vertical parts of the channels. First the necessary wood is sawn. These pieces are first colored and finished before gluing to the hull. This is now done on the two sides. To be continued, thanks for following
  9. Thank you lawrence. Fortunately I was on time with my elbow problem. And with some pills, stretching exercises and a few weeks already planned holiday there is already improvement. It will not be long before I go back to gardening and modeling Mark, There is indeed a very interesting thesis on this subject (thank you Mark) Placing barrels here will be very challenging in weathering the model. Whatever their intention was
  10. Welcome to MSW and greetings from Belgium
