    At the end of the 16th century, cast cannons were already used. I've found a current build of a same age replica of Barents' ship from 1595, which already had cast cannons with a carriage with only front wheels. The build is based on archaeological findings of wrecks.. 

    Ondras,

     

    interesting info is on these 2 pdf files.

    And there is a detailed drawing of a carriage with 3 wheels.

    "Risse von Schiffen des 16./17. Jahrhunderts"  is a very interesting book. But do not ask for detailed plans about ships from the 16th century.
    They simply do not exist.

     

    Dont do :default_wallbash:   you are building a beautiful model 

  2. Thank you everyone for the nice comments.

    I have added some bolts in the upper wales.

    Bolts that remain visible on the inside are also fitted. So that it looks that these bolts run through the frame and the wale.

    And i have become the proud owner of some interesting books. First I will read and study before I continue to build

    Patrick,

     

    The wire on the sides of the cabin ceiling, is that for lighting?

    Indeed

    I'm not really that good with electricity so I bought a ready-made set. The disadvantage is that all lights are at the same distance from each other.
    That is why it is sometimes a puzzle to get the lights in the right place.

    Welcome on board Pieter

  4. Thank you all for the nice comments and following

     

    I started with the rear castle. The front part will remain open and the rear part is the cabin for officers, here is also the whippstaff.

    Wear due to frequent passage. Some of the crew are too lazy to raise their feet when they go through the door ;)
