    Thanks, I had actually already thought about doing this. Perhaps with diluted paint (tamiya colors diluted with water / isopropanol) dont now yet. But before I do anything about this I first have to try this out on some leftovers from the rigging.

    Update, The outside of the forecastle is ready. The doors will be made later and a ladder will be provided later in the castle itself . A tricky part Tricky part is ready, painting Saw at the right height (and dust prevention with tape) Work in progress Ready There is a proper tool for every job. A file is not a chisel (I learned this in the technical school when I was 12years old...) revenge part removed the hard way Thanks for following

    The helmsman is standing at the back of the ship. These windows are at the front. And Vasa did not have a forecastle

    Thanks for the positive comments No worries. This is going to look much better then my first idea

    Thanks Fabio, After searching through my documentation, I found that Steven is absolutely right. Going back to the beginning of this log I came across Matthew Baker's drawing. The sides of the fore castle must be as identical as possible all around. Wales, symbols, figures they have to go through in one line as much as possible. So first i need to remove some pieces. And then start to rebuild. 2 doors are provided with "sufficient" passage height. Parts are first pre-painted as much as possible. But, here and there some area's will have to be sanded and repainted. 2 Dry fitted parts I think i am back on the right track. Thanks for following

    I am probably too late with this. Sorry. If you paint the deck that is under the grating black then it will look more like there is an "space" under this grating. So, just paint the piece of deck under the grating black. The grating itself is not be painted black. Ps, If you do not like this yourself. Then you should not do this. This is just free advice.

    that is fore the helmsman

    Nice work, great to see you back at the shipyard

    Steven, I also do not find this a good solution. I expected (actually hoped) for this comment. Early galleons had this opening (1540-1550), but after this period not. For the time being I place only the 2 beams. and think further about the what to do : 1 opening / 2 doors. It is perhaps best to place 2 doors and ignore the problem between the block and the capstan. The doors will always remain visible. The problem with the block not.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
