Thanks.

I used sheet of 0.2mm thickness. Too thick for this scale, of course. But the result is not that bad.

.

The copper sheeting has been slightly sanded. Now I have started to apply imitation nails. I use a large steel needle for this.

Work in progres, still much to do and new hinges must also be made for the rudder.

Thanks for following

Beautiful work Zappto

Doris

My wife only follows this buildlog on MSW.  She (and i) finds your work incredibly beautiful.

Great work

Nice work with masts, sails and rigging.

Congrats !! 

Welcome back Geonas.

Greetings, Patrick

I am going to try to apply copper sheeting made of plastic sheet.
One side done (not really ok, could be better).

Found it.

Thanks Patrick!

    Brilliant and concise! Thanks for finding and posting it, much appreciated. You don't happen to have another little gem like this that covers rigging by any chance? 🤔

Maybe. But it will take me some time to find this.

Welcome to MSW.

Greetings from Belgium

The channels have been cleaned up and are installed

The side windows are cleaned up and provided with clear plastic sheet.

Update.

Nice work GL.

Well done

Made some progress  today.

Maybe this is interesting for you. Found it on a pdf (the construction sequence of the princess channel wreck)

Scratch building is fun. But take your time and think before you start to build something.

I sometimes forget that last one... And then there is only one solution for me, build again

I like the solid and purposeful look of the channels.

The decking pattern is very impressive, both the deck and channels give an insight into how these ships were built - with craftsmanship, but using what is available where necessary.

Good work, you have given me much to think about!

Thank you

Patrick,you are making a very good model,very nice indeed.

 

I watched a programme yesterday on English television about this ship and Drake. There were many parts of the programme taken on board the replica in London. Not a lot of headroom below decks and extremely cramped living conditions. Hard to believe that the original ship circumnavigated the world.

 

BTW,the pivot point for the Whipstaff is called the Rowle.

Thank you,

I read somewhere. 

Spanish prisoners found the living conditions below deck dark, cramped and unhealthy. They were right

What did you use to stain the planks

Diluted Tamiya dark sea grey XF-54 for the deck (1/3 Paint  2/3 isopropyl alcohol )

After drying, the deck is matte. Polish then with scoth brite (green color). The more you polish the more gloss on the deck.

Sides of the planks are painted with Tamiya German Grey XF-63 
Black as caulcing gives too strong a contrast in combination with the gray of the deck.
Then it looks like the wood is weathered, and the caulcing is not.
