Revenge 1577 by Loracs - Amati - 1:64
Baker replied to Loracs's topic in - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1501 - 1750
I think your painting gives a very special and beautiful result. At the time the Revenge was built, wood and iron were used.No brass 😉 The most common colors where red,green and white -
a nice person like you will definitely get this from Admiral Claus 😉

Very impressive work 👍

Looks great 👍

The name is now complete. And planking is done on both sides. Further planking at the stern is for later. Now this part of the hull will first be further detailed (treenails, etc.) 2 plywood bulkheads remain present, so the model can easily remain upside down for further finishing. The strange piece of wood on the bow is just a temporary reinforcement so that the top part of the stem doesn't break off Thanks for following, comments and likes

The wale 3 problem has been solved. This now has a more flowing line towards the bow. The front cannon port has also been modified. Like ports 2 through 6, is the opening now to just below the wale. The letters of the name are also coming together well. Starting with an easy one And then the difficult one Mary (without Rose )

Thank you . The "demolition work" has now been completed successfully on both sides. And the (3rd attempt) reconstruction is going in the right direction. If everything goes according to plan, an update will be released over the weekend

Great models And

The ships stand is ready, currently with a temporary name on it. the planking above wale 3 went quite smoothly. But, The frame of section 1 is strongly bent inwards at the top. And the stem is straight at the top. This result is an unnatural shape of the hull So, removing these planks and start again for attempt 2. The advantage of PVA glue is that it softens again if you carefully apply isopropyl alcohol to the glue seams. The planks can then be removed fairly easily. Surgery... Attempt 2 : better But... I think I tapered the planks between wale 2 and 3 too much. Wale 3 currently has no smooth line. I'm considering attempt 3 (this means more redoing)

Planking update The planking between wale 2 and 3 is ready and has received a first sanding. The intention is to apply 3 more strakes above wale 3 and then sand the hull further and finish it with nails, treenails, etc. Part of the plywood bulkheads are also removed.

First, congratulations on this beautiful model. To add a lantern or not, difficult question. This is how I made my lantern. (Post 24)
