Patrick,

 

Just catching up - wow! really impressive, as always, work. You're so well capturing this ship as she must have looked centuries ago.  Your

research is also always spot on.

 

Cheers,

Thank you

Have you given thought to leaving shields off of one side of the model, so that those sniper cutouts are visible?

Yes,
depends on how well I can finish the interior on this deck

1450????

1458 military scale 1/72

9 military  scale 1/9

1 VW golf

2 plastic ships

1 wooden ship

1 wooden ship (sold)

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...

Some adjustments appear to have been made (arrows)
And I can't photoshop.

Thanks. 

I have more from the interior an cabins. 

If you want i can post them 

Great work.

We visited this ship in 2005 (a long way from home )

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

Wow, very small. 

Looks like 48 mm 😉

Very beautiful work 👍

Good luck,  this will be great to follow. 

a real sailor, without fear of heights 😉

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.

And good luck with the build. 

Beautiful work 👍
