  1. Some links https://www.academia.edu/3245770/The_Development_and_Design_of_Bronze_Ordnance_Sixteenth_through_Nineteenth_Centuries https://www.academia.edu/20120786/The_Arming_of_Late_16th_century_Merchantmen._A_Masters_Thesis_from_the_Maritime_Archaeology_Programme_University_of_Southern_Denmark https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/4268442.pdf And If you have Peter Kirsch's book Galleon. It also contains a lot of information
  2. The only grating from the 17th century that "remains" is probably that of the Swedish (Dutch built) Vasa. I think you see in the photo a combination of what @allanyed represents. 16th and early 17th century grating is varied. What it looked like later in the Victory era, no idea. And if you want to play it safe, hathes and no grating 😉
  3. I do not think this model is intended to put masts on it. see link https://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/model-shipways-confederacy-MS2262.html
  4. First a non Ship related item. Recently my photos are reduced with this tool. The first time you use it is a bit of searching, but after a few times of practice this goes pretty smoothly The length / width ratio can be found in the MR book by Haynes (thanks to Chapman 👍). There is a waterline drawing in MRNS. It also shows the positions of the sections on the keel. This drawing is enlarged and hopefully these water lines will fit Bulkheads whose position corresponds to the sections in the MRNS book are adjusted. The MRNS book sections (black) are in place. The intention is to use the water lines to bring the remaining bulkheads into a better shape The difference in bulkhead 11 and section 10 is here good to see Very early at this stage, designing flags Thanks following and the advice
  5. thanks, I've already had the idea of buying an airbrush. This gives better results. But when I started this hobby in the 80's an airbrush was quite a big investment for me. plus that all my military models are built on the kitchen table is also a minus. I can't see myself spraying paint in the same room where we cook and eat. In addition, I'm phasing out my military models (I have a dozen more to build, and that's it) So no need for an airbrush anymore.
  6. So that's how you build your model so fast. Working with subcontractors. cheating 😉 ps, great work
  7. The The 8 x 8 partially painted in green before the final assembly Assembled and ready for painting Painted in the standard 3 color camo All 3 are now ready for finishing Thanks for following, comments and likes
  8. If you want to print flags. I liked this technique. you can use the flags in the Excel file, you just have to reduce the size.
