Made a few 1/72e scale military kits from Hobbyboss They were easy to build and of good quality

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.- 63 replies

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 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

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.

Thanks for the comments, The forecastle. What looked simple was actually a bit complicated. Where to place the doors ? Where to place the ladders? The height of the deck ? The hatch to the lower deck is in the way. It was not smart of me to provide this hatch at this place. First the height of the deck is determined. My assistant is very helpful in this. Then the support beam (beamshelf?) Of the deck beams is placed. The location of doors and ladders is now being studied. 2 doors or openings on the side is not an option, the block in the fore castle can not be operated with the capstan. The only solution on this model is one large opening in the middle without doors. The block in the fore castle can be operated with the capstan. The opening will be made wider than the example so that access to the fore castle is easier. I now know how to proceed. And looking at drawings from that time both solutions can be correct. To be continued. Thanks for following.
