Greetings Patrick

At home now and looking on my computer (big screen) instead on my small smartphone. If this is your first plank. Then you can get into trouble on your forecastle and maybe on your rearcastle On the Dusek drawings this plank stops on the forecastle and not on the bow. (Dusek drawing is from the dusek website) ps Nice planking on the stern

Thank you all for following and comments. It was a productive weekend. Wood has been sawn so that I can continue to build. Further i thought about stairs to the underlying deck. And discovered that on some plans no stairs are provided at all. Forget something? A mistake? Fortunately there is something provided on "my" Golden Hind Thanks for following

Hello everybody @Carl : Have it asked at Jan. We have the same opinion. @ Marcus and Steven : Thanks for the comments. After installing the rudder are all deck beams in place. And i started with the holes for the hatches. The width is approximately 120 cm (about 4 feet) on scale 1/1 Work in progress A first test to see what it will look like. The thickness of these deckplanks will not be visible later I make it too thick, this will give extra strength to the deck Further finishing, the deck beam in the center of the hatch will later be removed later on To be able to lift the anchor there must be a capstan on this deck. The capstan is build very basic. And is placed at the only place where there is still enough room left . Thanks for following

Attach the rudder to the stern. Making hinges. The plastic hinges will be a weak point. To fix this, copper pins of diameter 1mm are placed. Holes are drilled in the stern at the right place. A knock with the hammer, and the rudder is well fixed. This will not come loose anymore. Finish the hinges A light layer of metal paint is first applied under the white layer. The upper hinge is painted black. Bolts are attached on the helm. Painting on the bottom in white and after some polishing and dry brushing the rudder is ready. I do not find any paintings or drawings from this period with chains or ropes attached to the rudder. These will therefore not be applied. Thanks for following

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
