Never built a Tirpitz model. But visited the Tirpitz museum in Alta Norway.

I follow.

What one can do with an old tissue 
Great find.

As always.
Beautiful and detailed

Great work Michael

Welcome to MSW,

And greetings from Belgium.

The grating on the beakhead is done.

As a basis I used purchased grating because I do not possess the tools to make them myself.
I had this in my possession for a long time. And I do not know who the manufacturer is.
The wooden strips are own production.
I have tried to get about the same result as in the picture from the Batavia replica

6 separate pieces of grating have been made
staining is done with diluted gray. Then lightly "polished" with scotch brite.
The "nails" are applied with a pencil

An extra plank is provided in the middle.

The holes for the mast and the bowsprit are roughly cut to the right size.

2 primitive sanitary facilities are provided.

Extra bolts are also provided.

Some deck planks have been applied without a glue as a test. Do not know yet if they will stay that way.

Thanks for following

John,

A real milestone - I've just completed the 100th oar, so all the oars are DONE! (And for any purists  who may insist I should have spares because they had them in the original . . . nah.)

Congrats 

And, well said 

Thank you Geert and Lawrence for the compliments.

Meanwhile, work continues. I hope to do an update soon.

beautiful model Zappto.
Well done !!

If it is a ship from the 16th century. Do not expect much from "the kitchen".

I think that wood was then used as fuel

Started with the beakhead,

I use old drawings as an example for the outside of the bow. For the inside (deck) a photo of the Batavia replica.
On most ships of this periode are ther no ropes on the bowsprit (about 80% without and 10% with). These ropes are therefore not applied on the model.

The fore mast is in front of the forecastle, as can be seen on most ships of this time, an underlay for deck planks has already been installed here.

This drawing is one of the very few examples where the mast is in the fore castle   (bad example !).

A first test

Nicely done Piet.
Congratulations

You have a great new workshop.

Welcome back

The balcony is finished (Finally)
I had underestimated the time and work required for this work...

I made a crown in plastic to place above the rose
And did not like this. So, the crown was removed again.

Supports for awnings are also provided.

Suppo

Welcome to the wonderful world of wooden ship model building.

You will have "ups and dows" while building your model.
Always remember the "ups" and learn from the downs 

Thanks michael 

These rocks are indeed much better.

Actually

I am very curious about the further finishing of your decks.
To get ideas for the finishing of the decks in my G.H. .

Well done
Real craftsmanship

Archie,

Great build Michael,

And a beautiful new profile photo
