  1. Researched the planking of the hull of a galleon for my previous model. (Starts in post 47)
  2. The planking on the port side is done, and the cannonports are installed. Ready for a first sanding. Sanded Good to see, the irregular placement and the different sizes of the cannon ports. What is that thing doing on MY table A close up Next to do: the starboard side
  3. congratulations on this very nice model. It was very pleasant and instructive to follow this build log.
  4. With the holidays over, time to start up again. The second wale has now been placed. So now the planking between wale 2 and 3 can begin along with working out the gun ports. Only the hatches of the gun ports have been found on the port side. and it turns out that they did not always have the same dimensions as the starboard side. Discovered too late to adjust, so they stay as they are now. (On their drawings in scale 1/100 they are neatly the same width on both sides...grrr...) The bow cannon should fire fairly well forward (see drawing of the Great Harry). And between the stern and this gun are only 2 planks and not 3 as further aft. I accidentally came across this while chopping wood. The right shape as support for the bow area. Planking between wale 2 and 3 has started. I started on the port side, nothing left of this side. So this is the big exercise before starting on the starboard side. Still a bit messy and a lot of thinking, touch up and sanding, but it seems to be going well this way. Thanks for following, comments and likes
  5. Welcome to MSW. (also 59 and retiring next year)
  6. if you have room at the channel of the fore mast. Then you can tie both 2 to this channel 1 in use and 1 in spare anchor.
  7. planking. Because planking with only the bulkheads as support every 6cm is very inconvenient. I'm going to place the frames of the gun ports first before continuing with planking. First I determine where they should go and how wide the cannonports are. Measure on the drawing and transfer to the model (drawing 1/100, model 1/50, so just multiply by 2). And the dimensions stated in the book correspond well with the drawing. Sawing and installing the frames "Surgery" for some reason they were given an M number in the book. M3,M4,M5... if these were all BMW's.... I think I'm going to fill in a bit of the bow for support. Later on you won't see anything between the stem and the first bulkhead on this deck. The shape remains quite pointed towards the top In accordance with findings on the wreck and paintings from that time, there will also be a cannon at the front. provisionally called Mx
