well done.

And welcome to MSW

Great progress Ward

Balcony, work in progress.

One opening of the balcony is too narrow for 2 planks and and too wide for one plank.

so why not do something special here and add a Tudor rose (Historically probably totally wrong, but a nice challenge to do )

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tudor_rose

So far so good, and now i am trying to make a crown for on top of the rose

Thanks for following

I have occasionally followed this log
Nice and beautiful work

Tomorrow getting a six pack of beer and next week go to the neighbor across the street, with the 6 pack and ask if I can use his drill press. 

  A good neighbor is better than a good friend who lives far away 

( Drill the holes first, and then enjoy the 6 pack) 

Ps,

Your English is better than mine 

Thanks,

Christian, G.L. and i   : 3 points

My wife  : 1 point

We won. It will be 2 planks 

Who is going to tell her this......me 

Thanks Geert,

The bottom of the balcony is painted and provided with bolts.

The side of the balcony could be open with pillars or closed with planks.
With me it becomes open with pillars. It looks that this was the most common at that time. An example is made as a template.

4 pillars can be made together with a simple holder.

A first test (not yet glued)

Start gluing

Backside "work in progress" Planks are provided between the pillars.  The question: 2 planks or 3 planks?
My wife says :I want 3 planks 
I think 2 is better, compared to the drawing (2nd photo)

Does anyone have an idea ??

Welcome to MSW Auggie,

Why not start with a simple kit first.
Always good to gain some experience

Welcome to MSW,

Try a search for "18th century longboat" in build logs for SHIP MODEL KITS.

This is already very interesting :

Nice and beautiful carvings EJ

The faces seem to me rather frightening "scary" in the white color. 

May they be painted in the gold color. like the rest of the carvings.

(sorry for my google english)

The door is more detailed.
Windows are made of clear plastic (PVC). And it is the intention to become glass in lead.

First  i make grooves with a needle in the plastic.

Then the "lead" insert is made with stretched sprue (light gray sprue has been used and is not painted)

the clear plastic and wood fittings are glued and colored.

ready

Excellent work GL 

Nice work Marcus

Thanks Steven and Michael.

The door of the balcony has been removed. 

Did not like it, some extra detail needs to be added first.

And greetings from Belgium

Nice cable bitt, Patrick.

 

G.L.

Thanks Geert,

I have also  made and installed a door. The idea of the hinges and the lock are coming from a door of an old church somewhere in Northern Scandinavia.

Build index on page 1

The balcony is started

interesting info can be found on this forum.  https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/3123-the-heads-in-the-head-and-the-aft/&do=findComment&comment=86046

First introduced in the 1530s
First description on an English ship in 1546

Supports and beams are provided as they could have been placed on a ship of that time
The planks are arranged on the beams as I would attach them on 1/1 scale.
First the supports are applied, and between the supports the connecting beams. planking is applied

It is possible that for the higher ranks sanitary facilities were installed on these balconies. So 2 sanitary facilities are made, primitive, but effective
Info about this was also found in the thesis
The common people will get a place in the front of the ship

Welcome to MSW Mike and greetings from Belgium.

Great start Marcus.

you have my interest, i follow your build.

The sidewalls below deck, 

All of these objects have been previously installed during construction. But not yet explained

Apparently there were 2 ways. With planking on the inner sides or with the frames remain visible.
It was decided to leave the frames / futtocks visible. This detail could be done better. But later this part is only visible through the gun ports and possibly an open hatch, so this is good enough.
Historically correct for an English ship ?? who knows, this example is Spanish (San Juan)
Traces of the standing knees have been found on an english shipwreck (Gresham). And yes they also effectively hindered the free firing field of some cannons.
Hanging knees and beams for the upper deck will be applied later. 

Water that came on this deck was drained through holes to the lower cargo space ( source Gresham ship)

A breast hook and the construction for the anchor cable are also made (source : vasa ship and the Batavia replica)

The photos speak for themselves.

Work on the balcony has also been started up again.

Thanks for following

Thanks Lawrence

The pictures that are now being explained are indeed from a while ago.   Work on this gun deck was done between other works on the hull.
At the moment there is little time to build. Work in the garden and other jobs.

Translating to English is also time-consuming for me, because I never learned English in school. 

So for now only updates with explanations about this cannon deck.

Ps
I am already looking forward to your new build log
