    Great work Michael, It was a pleasure to follow this. I am already looking forward to your next project

    After I started on the balcony. I new i had forgotten something Bolts. So first apply bolts to the wales and to the places where the knees are Info about the bolts. Source: the Gresham ship. To scale I must therefore have bolts whose head is 1.1 to 1.2 mm. The spacing between the bolts on the wales is 2 to 3 cm. Small nails of 1 cm "without head" are suitable for this. The heads vary between 1.1 and 1.2 mm in diameter. Right size it can not be better. Method used : The nails are first degreased in acetone and dryed. Then the heads are made black with Perma Bleu and cut to length with a pair of pliers Predrilling a hole where a nail should come. Nail and ready. Work in progres Thanks for following

    Backer's idea, Can you not make the oval piece with the name separate? This may work easier

    Welcome, And success with your first model ship.
  8. Baker
    Thanks Christian. This was the most complex "camouflage scheme" I have ever tried to paint. Long live panzer gray, olive green and other sand colors in my military modeling
  9. Baker
    Painting is done. On this part of the hull the colors have become white and red. After painting a light dry brushing with white and reddish brown was applied. Sometimes it did not go according to plan... The pelican is also further painted. Now we can start with the floor of the balcony. And make windows and a door. Thanks for following, index see post 1.

    Looks great. The shape of the ship is already starting to become visible.
  12. Baker
    Looks great. Once finshed it will be a beautiful diorama.

    On this site http://www.modelships.de/ I found this link http://www.finemodelships.com/sale_transport.htm Maybe they can help you. Although, Packing it yourself and transporting it to your father by car is perhaps faster and cheaper.

    I looked at your building log again (twice ). Wonderful what you do with these PE parts. Great model.
  15. Baker
    Excelent work Nils.
  16. Baker
    Thanks Lawrence, My way of building and finishing one does not see much indeed. No one knows what this ship has ever looked like. So there is a fair amount of freedom in the painting of this ship

    Free info Michael. Whatever you decide to make it is your model and your choice. That's how I once made my lantern

    Jorgen, This is how i stained my Golden Hind My Vasa was painted with semi gloss, old oak varnish See the link below
  19. Baker
    Steven, Thanks for the positive comment and the info A pelican in this way is indeed more imposing and shows more aggressive. But, My drawing skills are insufficient to draw this. I think it will stay with an ordinary pelican.
  20. Baker
    Thanks Michael, http://how2drawanimals.com/8-animals/19-draw-pelican.html How to draw a pelican, or another animal. Great site. Explained step by step
  21. Baker
    Wecome to MSW Well done with your first model
  22. Baker
    And greetings from Belgium
  23. Baker
    Small update, Today I continued with painting. All the green arrows are done. I also made an attempt to draw a pelican on the stern. He looks pretty good but he is not ready yet. Thanks for following

    Jan, Dutch and Flamish can sometimes be complicated languages Drazen, “PROVINCIEN” Is an excellent choice.
  25. Baker
    Jan, Maybe provinctye is spelled correctly in "old dutch or old Flamish" (same language but hundreds of different dialects). What follows now is an explanation in Dutch that is impossible to translate to English for me (sorry). And this is an opinion that is open for discussion. Provinctye spreekt uit als Provinstie (Provinctye speaks out as provinstie) Wij zeggen nu ook : vakantie = vakantsie politie = politsie Misschien door die oude spelling voegen we nu de letter "s" toe als we deze woorden uitspreken. De C en de S, de Y en de i : hebben in sommige woorden dezelfde klank om uit te spreken. So "Provinctye" can be spelled correctly. Drazen, beautiful work !! Ps my answer is a bit too late
