  1. I can send you more info and drawings via pm about these shields. But then you have to wait a bit, Baker is on vacation
  2. Large update 😉. The strakes normally follow the lines of the planks and seal the seams between two planks neat indeed 👍 Here indeed there was no clinker planking, but removable shields. Good and nice work
  3. Planking the inside of the railing. Checking if the cannon ports are still in the right place And the planking of the deck has begun. For the deck planking the walnut wood from the kit is used. Excellent quality 👍
  4. Indeed, a ladder inside. the pointed shape of fore castles like this are really awkward. No wonder that they later switched to another more spacious shape (galleon).
  5. And in the log from @djford we @Louie da fly had the question how to get to the lowest deck of the fore castle. Exceptionally images from the book. According to them it is possible that the ladder on cabin 4 continues to this deck on the fore castle According to that explanation it could be something like this Fore castle 1/50 drawing 1/100 Actually,this is not possible i think If this staircase (yellow) continues at the back of cabin 4 (white area) further on the outside of the castle, you'll be stuck against the anti-boarding net (red). The staircase(s) must therefore be in the castle
  6. Forecastle update The lowest deck is starting to become difficult to reach and has therefore been treated with a layer of Danish oil Almost forgotten, the bowsprit Determine roughly where it comes with a dumimy . The right angle is ?? something like this? close but it fits. And is supported. The shape of the front part under the bowsprit still needs to be adjusted. How exactly, I don't know yet
  7. Thanks. Luckily Mary Rosasaurus doesn't have any teeth yet😉. Personally i like cherry wood more than pear wood
  8. Planking Before further planking can be done, a spiral staircase must first be made. Originally this is made of plywood, so a new one is made of pear The opening is placed more towards the middle, then there is less hindrance with the cannon that is in front of the staircase. Planking, this method is found in the book of the Dutch yacht Utrecht. "Plank bender" Planking is ready for sanding A first sanding with grit 60 has been done And the plywood supports on the deck are removed
  9. So it could have been something like this. Two "stairs" to the first deck, on the outside of the fore castle.
  10. Dont now yet. These stairs come in the deck in front of the fore castle. it is thought that they went further up to the fore castle if i understand the text correctly. i don't understand the english text so well. In this case there are two stairs on the outside of the fore castle
  11. Looks great 👍 I think I should also provide a ladder or stair from the lower deck on my model here.
  12. Galley. On the Dutch forum some (not all) people make this separate from the model. And then it looks like this. Sometimes a bit darker, depending on the stain.
  13. Looks very good. The cardboard test is succeeded
  14. you will get more chance of answer in this topic https://modelshipworld.com/forum/5-nauticalnaval-history/
  15. heads, toilets... yes or no? when I was on a NATO maneuver in West Germany (1983). If you had to... Then you dug a hole, covered it with sand, and that's it. Or there was a forest full of trees.... off topic, but... Much later I had a Polish colleague at work who is the same age as me. I said it was their fault that I had to join the army. because the Warsaw Pact was preparing an invasion of Western Europe. No he said, I had to join the army because NATO was preparing an invasion against the Warsaw Pact. 🤔
  16. Planking First planks were placed on which the large PE parts will later be glued. For the correct position, the height of a cannon was first measured. And this way the position of the first wale can be marked. Once this wale is glued, the excess part of these first planks is removed and further planking can take place. Planking, work in progress
  17. Forecastle update. All frames are placed A temporary support is placed at the top. And there are 2 cannon ports. To place 4 according to the Anthony roll, the fore castle is too small in my opinion. The interior finish is in the same line as the rearcastle. The higher planking is according to the clinker method Thanks for following
  18. indeed. first making a cardboard replica of your forecastle can't hurt. And then you can also check if you have enough space for your standing rigging of the fore mast
