Very neat and precise work 👍 -
Plan A Cut or saw away a part of your rudder. You will always see that this was "recovery work" Plan B Make a new rudder that fits. And make sure the grain of the wood points in the longitudinal direction. Not in the cross direction. I would go for plan B.

Thanks for the nice comments, Building and installing the longboat. Kits parts Boat build with a "mast" Hiding the ugly interior under a "tarpaulin" Ingredients : a piece of paper tissue and lots of CA glue The tissue is cut to size, pushed in the right place and completely covered with CA glue. If you do this the first time. Practice first on another piece The first time the tissue sticks everywhere it should not stick. Longboat supports Extra detail Painted, drybrushed and washed Tarpaulin tied with rope. Longboat in place and secured with rope.

Thanks Apxeos. Someone who has built more than 1400 military models. Is probably "a tankman". In the meantime this shipyard has been neglected in function of my little Bounty project. The only thing that happened the last months : The poop deck is largely planked and the LED lighting has been tested. Also, Through these months of silence at this shipyard. I'm thinking about changing the title of this log. Given the fact that making an exact copy of the Golden Hind is impossible. It might be better to delete this name from the title. Maybe "Pelican"- scale 1/45 - How an English armed merchant merchant from the 2nd half of the 16th century may have looked like. Merry Christmas and a happy 2020 to everyone

Rigging the cannnons, the helm and the anchor cables on the deck . Cannon rigging in a 1/110 scale... Stressful to me (in my opinion) it took me more then 1 hour for each cannon. The helm anchor cabels. To get these flat on the deck they are glued on deck with ca glue. Carefully applied to a toothpick. Thanks for following

Nice work. Always pleasant to see a 16th century model with the fore mast in front of the fore castle.

Great work markus. Very interesting build. A question to Ab This plan is included in the book "Risse von schiffen des 16. und 17 jahrhunderts" If I look at the plans of Golden Hind that are also included, they don't look really reliable. Am I right?

Formula for Spars for Warships of Spain
Baker replied to Jeffrey Modell's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
There is not much (reliable) information about galleons in the 16th century. Simply because little was documented at that time. Maybe this book helps -

Painting and weathering of the hull. Painting the ded eyes and chains matt black washings with diluted light gray, some rust on the chains and a dry brushing of dark gray on the ded eyes. Given that the entire hull and deck are "weathered", the copper sheeting cannot be look new either. So, how does weathered red copper look like? No idea at first, then I remembered some rounds of ammunition that I once found near the house where I grew up. To make a small river deeper, mud had been dug out, and there lay a clip with 5 rounds Presumably remains of WW 1 or 2. Felix has no idea what's going on At first sight, It looks pretty much the same For now I leave the collor this way used paints : White wash And 3 green collors Cannons are glued on the deck A plastic plate is glued to the bottom. This is so the cannon is glued with the plate and not with the wheels on the deck. That way you won't see any glue residue on the deck. Hull painted Thanks for following

The fewer errors remain in your first layer. The easier it will be to apply your 2nd layer. It seems like a lot of unnecessary work now, but I don't think you will regret having done it
