Nice work Steven,

An idea from me
Use wooden clothespins for plastic models and plastic clothespins for wooden models.
if you use clothespins of the same material as your model, then they can sometimes gleu together.

Beautiful work

Somewhere I have read that in warm waters mostly iron nails were used. Because the wooden treenails were eaten too quickly by woodworm.

Beautifully done Steven

Colleagues, what can you say about this particular question?

When I look at the finish of the model under the waterline (nicely made planks with nails or treenails). Then it is paint, but that is my opinion.

The only person who could give a correct answer to the question is the builder of the model.

(the real ship could of course have had copper plating)

I know that.

It is only to let you know that there is a possibility that the color under the waterline may also be brown paint.
And is not always white paint or copper plate

probably paint

Interesting build. 

Looks like a stug. 3f

Great work Michael,

The ropes and blocks on the cannon ports are much better now.

Your build is very inspiring to watch and follow.

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

Congratulations. Beautiful planking.

Which brand of beer do you drink  inbetween 

Indeed, the answer to my comment is on page 8.
I started following your  build a little too late. 

Just found your build. Beautiful model, well done.

Following that, I will focus on getting the lower hull halves painted so that I can mount them and begin actually building the model.

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.

Welcome back, nice planking.
