Small update

The planking of the starboard side goes smoothly.
The bulk heads are adjusted in advance and the frames of the cannon ports were already partly made.
It's simply taking the dimensions from the port side to the starboard side and start planking.
and the laser also comes in handy.

I had some sawing work for another project and so I sawed wood for the base plate.

Congratulations, a very beautiful model.

If any members would like to make use of any of these cannons for a model then let me know.

If you log in to this forum again.
I am interested in the Mary Rose cannons 

Congrats, very nice model 

A very neat first planking 👍

Researched the planking of the hull of a galleon for my previous model.

Thanks everyone for these nice comments.
This is very much appreciated.

Very impressive. 

Great work

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

the bottle is not empty yet...

Need help ? 😁

Great work. 

Always nice to follow this.

congratulations on this very nice model.
It was very pleasant and instructive to follow this build log.

congratulations,  nice work  👍

Welcome back 

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

Yes, not a galleon. But a carrack. 

But a good example

Should i include all four, or only two.

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.

Great work Ferrus. 

Congrats 👍
