  1. Thank you all for the nice comments and likes Some progress is made on the standing rigging I encountered a problem attaching the deadeyes to the crow's nest. The solution found is not correct as it really was, but well suited for this small scale. The photos probably explain the method better than a long text in my google translate English. Current state Thanks for following
  2. Well done 👍 An idea. You still have to start your masts and standing rigging. I would wait with the anchors until this is done. They can get in the way
  3. As always great work. But, why is someone from my family glued to your model? Greetings from Backer ( My last name is De Backer)😉
  4. 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)
  5. This is difficult indeed on this small scale. That's how I solved it with my model Btw. nice work
  6. Welcome from Belgium

  8. Welcome to MSW Patrick
  9. 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.
  10. Congrats. Nicely made cannon barrels.
  11. Great work Just a comment Wrong Better (the red lines show approximately the length of the beams)
  12. 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
  13. 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

  15. 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.
  16. A "mini" Bounty. Building two ships simultaneously is too difficult for my poor brain... So, this yard is temporarily on hold
  17. Great work.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
