  2. thank you for the nice comments and likes. There is still a lot of work to be done. I'm thinking of sanding and painting this part first while the hull is still a bit manageable. Well, I find building the model more difficult then expected 😉 The "holes" in the rear castle will later be covered with shields. But first i need to clean up the hobby room and paint the walls. And then probably first clean out cabinets containing approximately 1450 models...
  3. With all frames made thinner and the last planks attached to the stern, the rough shape of the hull and rear castle is largely finished. A lot of wood chips.. And the first jar of PVA glue is empty With paint pots visible in the background, time for some freshening up of the hobby room. Current status with a cardboard fore castle
  4. This time an update without a misstep.. Everything went according to plan The bulwark (frames) of the upper deck : Logically speaking and thinking. This bulwark is constructed with partial planking and shields. In accordance with the waist, where there are also partly shields, why should all frames reach the top? If their only purpose is to hold up a beam with shields hanging from it? Therefore, the height of the majority of frames is only up to the planking. And some go higher, the distance between these frames is approximately in accordance with that of the waist. Saw the frames to height And then narrow them to the 3mm Then a beam is glued above the clinker planking. The connections are only to maintain sufficient strength on the model. A new "frame" is placed And the longest frames are narrowed. and to 3mm. The height is speculative, the shortest frame was the size. Starboard is ready, just a small beam needs to be attached at the top. Some extra planking is done (arrow) Thanks for following, likes and comments.
  5. And good luck with the build.
  6. You have two cannons. Maybe you can build a part of the stern?
  7. When an old men makes a drawing on a smartphone ...🤣 Bleu = seize Kirill is more professional 😉
  8. Scratch modeling is fun. And you are doing a very good job. And yes, those little life boats are actually a model in themselves. I always enjoy following the construction of one of these, but starting building one myself...🤔 😉
  9. Good news. The clamp has been surgically removed and repaired. Model and clamp are doing well after this medical surgery.
  10. Thank you for the nice comments. In the meantime, I've had a moment where you say to yourself "kieke" Flemish for "chicken". A fun way to say stupid 🤣 The plank is clamped and the clamp is now blocked And the iron wire, which kept the sides of the rear castle at the right width, and on which I have already cut my fingers a few times. has been replaced by a pair of threaded rods. Safety first at the shipyard 👍
