  2. Greetings from Belgium
  3. And greetings from Belgium
  4. Beautiful work Somewhere I have read that in warm waters mostly iron nails were used. Because the wooden treenails were eaten too quickly by woodworm. found it. Source : Joao Baptista Lavanha, who died in 1620
  5. Beautifully done Steven Where I work, Iso propyl alcohol "IPA" is stored in a tank of about 90000 liters....
  6. When I look at the finish of the model under the waterline (nicely made planks with nails or treenails). Then it is paint, but that is my opinion. The only person who could give a correct answer to the question is the builder of the model. (the real ship could of course have had copper plating)
  7. I know that. It is only to let you know that there is a possibility that the color under the waterline may also be brown paint. And is not always white paint or copper plate
  8. Interesting build. Looks like a stug. 3f
  9. Great work Michael, The ropes and blocks on the cannon ports are much better now. Your build is very inspiring to watch and follow.
  10. Something new on this forum. A shipyard in a ship
  11. Greetings Patrick
  12. Hello everyone, Thanks Michael and Zappto for the comments and everyone for reacting. Short update. The channels of the main mast are ready. Now, i continue with the channels of the fore mast. This will not be a simple task at first sight. If I place them at the same height as on the main mast (red line), then they are is too wide at the front. If I place them higher (yellow line), Then the width of the channel is ok, but the upper part of my vertical pieces are too short So there is first some thinking and testing to do before i can build further. "Advice or tricks" are always welcome . For me the challenge is getting them at the same heigt (red line) Thanks for following
  13. Congratulations. Beautiful planking. Which brand of beer do you drink inbetween
  14. greetings patrick
  15. Just an idea, I built this model a long time ago. Out of the box. Without extra detail (no documentation, no internet, and with little experience). what I remember well is that I had problems with the two hull halves to fit well together. Is it not better to put the hull halves together first and then to paint afterwards? And also to see if your newly created parts fit well on the hull. Greetings Patrick
