Thanks, To add extra detail to these small scales, is the simplest solution usually the best. Unless an extra kit with PE and resin parts is available. (We both do not have that luxury on our models) -
This is difficult indeed on this small scale. That's how I solved it with my model Btw. nice work

What I mean. These beams are too long and so come together on the deck. If the building description says so and you want to build it this way. Then you can do this. Actually, nobody wont say you're wrong (I certainly don't) I have been working on my GH for over 3 years now. Building a correct ship from the 16th century is almost impossible. No plans, of course no photos, only unclear drawings and some hull parts of shipwrecks. Only incorrectly built replicas.

Roter Löwe 1597 by Ondras71

Congrats. Nicely made cannon barrels. -
Great work Just a comment Wrong Better (the red lines show approximately the length of the beams)

Standing rigging update Slow progress. Some parts of the rigging has been done 2 times. The first time bad, and the second time a little better. (instructions in the kit) Lower masts almost ready The hull is only 25 cm (about 10") long Thanks for following

Using pins
Baker replied to Oddball's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Looks logical. But, Planks, wales and beams are attached with : nails, bolts ,treenails And every era has its own methods The hull of a ship from the 16th century is different from a ship at the beginning of the 19th century. If it was that easy -

Thanks for the link, very interesting. I apply this method with my military models. The maximum build ever was about 10 in scratch at the same time (the Hotchkiss H35 / 39 family). More than one ship at the same time simply does not work for me. Not enough experience with ships, I think.

A "mini" Bounty. Building two ships simultaneously is too difficult for my poor brain... So, this yard is temporarily on hold

Great work.

Thanks Lawrence. Much appreciated. Somewhere I also read the same. I think in the book " the ship" from Bjorn landstrom. Grating will be provided in the hatches on the main deck. Building a 16th century ship is harder than I ever thought... Meanwhile. The build of this little model is the cause of all the delays on this shipyard.

Thanks for the nice comments and likes Started with the standing rigging. The plastic schrouds, deadeyes and blocks from the kit are useless. My deadeyes are home made. The blocks are leftovers from an Heller kit (Soleil Royal) I built this model a long time ago and kept the leftovers in my parts box. (Lucky me !!) Rigging is done as good as possible. Scale 1/110 is rather small for my fingers.

and good luck

Finishing and installing the masts After washing with soap and water and drying, a primer is applied. After painting, placement on the deck. Level the hull in cross length. Check whether the main mast stands straight (90°) with a "schietlood" (translation English : plumb bob ??) Just a simple piece of rope and a weight. Masts and bowsprit are in place. And are drying for 24 hours. Thanks for following

Making the masts and the bowsprit. This is more work than expected. Unusable parts are removed and replaced. Holes that are not needed are filled and sanded. Bowsprit before and after Mast parts before After Work in progress Thanks for following
