    Thank you for the reply. It will provide a "normal" capstan on my model.

    Does anyone have an idea how these "things" are called? I would have liked to have created a topic in : Masting, rigging and sails. But I can not make a title as long as I do not know the correct name. Does anyone know how they could have been attached to the hull?

    I would like to use this type of capstan for my Golden Hind. Has such a capstan ever existed? If so, did this already exist in the late 16th century?

    Patrick: Yes I intend on adding knees. I did not for the orlop deck, OcCre did not, and many drawings that I have seen did not either. It was a mixed decision. Greetings from a concerned Patrick that panicked a bit to early.

    Thanks Michael, Just a question. Do you go to install Knees ?? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee_(construction)

    GL How the sanitary looked like on a 16th century ship is hard to find. At the back of the balcony of the model there are made primitive facilities (holes) for the captain and the officers . It may well be that there was nothing at all on the balcony of a real ship. How does one go to the toilet on a 16th century ship? What I found about it: Crouched above the hole, leaning back against the side of the hull. And then "aim correctly) ... Perhaps not politely explained, but that was the intention. If I foresee something in the front to sit on. Then regular sailors have more luxury than the captain and the officers. That is why there are only holes. And nothing to sit on. Hopefully this answers your question

    Welcome to MSW, And greetings from Belgium.

    The grating on the beakhead is done. As a basis I used purchased grating because I do not possess the tools to make them myself. I had this in my possession for a long time. And I do not know who the manufacturer is. The wooden strips are own production. I have tried to get about the same result as in the picture from the Batavia replica 6 separate pieces of grating have been made staining is done with diluted gray. Then lightly "polished" with scotch brite. The "nails" are applied with a pencil An extra plank is provided in the middle. The holes for the mast and the bowsprit are roughly cut to the right size. 2 primitive sanitary facilities are provided. Extra bolts are also provided. Some deck planks have been applied without a glue as a test. Do not know yet if they will stay that way. Thanks for following

    If it is a ship from the 16th century. Do not expect much from "the kitchen". I think that wood was then used as fuel

    Started with the beakhead, I use old drawings as an example for the outside of the bow. For the inside (deck) a photo of the Batavia replica. On most ships of this periode are ther no ropes on the bowsprit (about 80% without and 10% with). These ropes are therefore not applied on the model. The fore mast is in front of the forecastle, as can be seen on most ships of this time, an underlay for deck planks has already been installed here. This drawing is one of the very few examples where the mast is in the fore castle (bad example !). A first test Construction and painting Thanks for following and likes, Build index on page one

    The balcony is finished (Finally) I had underestimated the time and work required for this work... I made a crown in plastic to place above the rose And did not like this. So, the crown was removed again. Supports for awnings are also provided. Suppo Thanks for following and likes, Build index on page one
