  1. Great work. I found this on the Dutch forum. https://www.modelbouwforum.nl/threads/bouwverslag-modelbouwkit-dwarsdoorsnede-van-een-17e-eeuwse-koopvaarder.286012/ https://www.modelbouwforum.nl/threads/nieuw-een-virtuele-rondleiding-op-een-17e-eeuws-nederlands-schip.276679/#post-4153895
  2. And good luck
  3. Ordinary iron wire of 1mm. soldered with a regular soldering iron. I think I have the Model Shipways Mayflower building instructions somewhere. This is very helpful for rigging. If you want this you will have to wait a while, I am not at home right now
  4. non-binding advice 😉 In my opinion the loop go's around the bowsprit. Normaly this is done with a chain. Otherwise, take a look at my Pelican build log. in the first post you will find an index with links
  5. peace 😉 This is a long term project. Nothing thoughtless is done before moving on. But every now and then you will see something like this Then there is removal and rebuilding😉
  6. Sufficient archaeological remains of the main armament of the Mary Rose have been found. All this has already been neatly researched and put on a drawing by the Mary Rose organisation. The irregular placement of these cannons is simply because they were added later. Not in the best, most logical place, but simply where there was room and where the hull construction allowed it. Most of these cannons have already been printed in 3D by a friendly Australian Since I will first continue building the outside of the hull, these cannons will only be placed in the year 2025 or later. And iwill probably build the fore castle as one whole and then put it on the model. But, when that will be. no idea for now.
  7. So much better than mine. Built 40 years ago 👍.
  8. please Don't start endless discussions like you do in other build logs. thank you
  9. A very beautiful model. it was great to follow this build.
  10. For some parts yes, for most parts not. The first models appeared just after the wreck was recovered. Based on information at that time. This model, and the caldercraft model, are based on this early info. in fact they have turned a carrack into a kind of a galeon. 🤢 buy and read.😉
  11. With the port side also ready, the standards are made to height. A simple way to measure, is to use a wooden plank as a template. A mold for the semi-circular gun ports. This is slightly conical, so up to the arrow and no further, otherwise the hole is too big. Ready. This is how far we have come, next is the last piece of planking on the bow. Thanks for following
  12. I just went through your build log. Nice work. I also have a cat. And an partially build Thermopylae kit from Sergal. Someone started it, gave up, and that's how it ended up with me The idea is to start building next winter
  13. Yesterday your text was in English and now in German?I understand the German language, but writing in German ... The hull under the fore castle will be further planked with horizontal planks up to the top rail of the waist. What will happen next above this planking, only the future will tell. step-by-step, so patience, patience, patience
  14. First. Thanks everyone for watching, liking and comments. Building the upper part of the hull at the waist. We change from fraims on the inside of the planking to standards on the outside. Planking is quite thin here, only about 4cm 1/1 scale. First the stadards, luckily some of these remained. And my standards were created based on them. One by one, time consuming Glue the standards in place after dry fitting Then the planking on the rear castle is neatly cut. The first plank The second plank, all hands (clamps) on deck. Additional supports around the gun ports. Glued the middle rail in place And the top rail. The starboard side is ready, the tops of the rails still need to be shortened slightly. I'm happy with the look of this part, if I say so myself
  15. Okidoki. An old men with a smartphone and google translate.... Mis understand 😉
  16. I can't see the whole drawing. But to me this is to raise the yard of your topsail. is attached somewhere on the port or starboard side. correct English name?? You can get more information, but then I have to start searching in my books first
