  1. With the port side also ready, the standards are made to height. A simple way to measure, is to use a wooden plank as a template. A mold for the semi-circular gun ports. This is slightly conical, so up to the arrow and no further, otherwise the hole is too big. Ready. This is how far we have come, next is the last piece of planking on the bow. Thanks for following
  2. I just went through your build log. Nice work. I also have a cat. And an partially build Thermopylae kit from Sergal. Someone started it, gave up, and that's how it ended up with me The idea is to start building next winter
  3. Yesterday your text was in English and now in German?I understand the German language, but writing in German ... The hull under the fore castle will be further planked with horizontal planks up to the top rail of the waist. What will happen next above this planking, only the future will tell. step-by-step, so patience, patience, patience
  4. First. Thanks everyone for watching, liking and comments. Building the upper part of the hull at the waist. We change from fraims on the inside of the planking to standards on the outside. Planking is quite thin here, only about 4cm 1/1 scale. First the stadards, luckily some of these remained. And my standards were created based on them. One by one, time consuming Glue the standards in place after dry fitting Then the planking on the rear castle is neatly cut. The first plank The second plank, all hands (clamps) on deck. Additional supports around the gun ports. Glued the middle rail in place And the top rail. The starboard side is ready, the tops of the rails still need to be shortened slightly. I'm happy with the look of this part, if I say so myself
  5. Okidoki. An old men with a smartphone and google translate.... Mis understand 😉
  6. I can't see the whole drawing. But to me this is to raise the yard of your topsail. is attached somewhere on the port or starboard side. correct English name?? You can get more information, but then I have to start searching in my books first
  7. Before Steven builds something, a lot of research is done in advance. There is always a lot to learn in his build logs. And they are great to follow.
  8. Well, that's where we are at the moment. I think the books have some errors... Standard 81T0833 This arrangement is therefore not correct at all. And is shamelessly copied in the next book. And this is what it actually looks like in the drawing. A channel or rigging rail a little bit lower. The Calderkraft model also follows this arrangement. Thanks @Mr Pleasant And so does our Russian colleague. https://www.shipmodeling.ru/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=71379 thanks @firdajan next horizontal planking or curved straight Most from this period seem to go for horizontal. The curved straight ones are starting to become a bit old-fashioned in this period, it seems to me Thanks for following
  9. There is an inventory on wikisource. https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Anthony_Roll In three parts. Part one, Carracks https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Anthony_Roll/First_roll
  10. Nice work. I just almost ordered a yellow one, with the red seats. When I got to the “pay now” page. my visa card refused 🤣 https://carconfigurator.ferrari.com/en_EN
  11. In the meantime, i continued with the fore castle basis. This time I checked in time whether any problems will arise with the schrouds. So yes, my cardboard structure was much too wide at the top. Error corrected just in time. The base starts at an angle of 45° following the (few) remains of the fore castle. And then with a curve upwards. As always too high or too long, shortening later is easier than lengthening. Applying the second was a little more challenging. Additional temporary supports were then installed. And i continued with finishing the waist. Gluing done on starboard side, now on to port side. Sanding is for later.
  12. Since I'm starting the fore castle earlier than planned, I haven't looked at this properly yet. According to what I have read briefly, it should look like it is drawn on the cover of the MR book. 2 light cannons and all the are rest swivels, or hail shot pieces
