Such a nice little ship! You are doing an awesome job!

so small
so much detail

Made a second ladder

(writes the same in Dutch as in English (so the English language is derived from the Dutch language...😇)

And deck number2 is planked, so i started on "the rear" of the forecastle.

Regards from Felix

Nice work.

Sorry to hear about Sierra 😪

Too late for this info.
On this small scale it is usually impossible to get the holes in the tracks to fit the teeth of the sprocket.
That is why I always removed the teeth that touch the tracks.
Works much easier.

Thanks Steven,

In the meantime, one ladder is placed and one deck has been planked.

Of course, no nice straight planks, but bits and pieces. And nailed...

I’m not sure whether to try to build the tracks off the model or assemble them in place

I always gave them a metallic color first.

Then glued them to the model.

And then painted them further

I repeat myself (again).

Beautiful very beautiful work 

After a long break, we started again on Mary.
The fore castle is painted, but the upper part was not really successful I thought. Too high and too green.

So the height was adjusted.

And repainted.

Better, I think.

Time to start on the 2 cannons in the fore castle. With special thanks to @henrythestaffy for the 3D printed cannons,much appreciated.

(The brass cannons upper left are fore the Brandenburger yacht)

there will be little to see of the carriages. So spend i little time on the details.

Make wheels
Use the crosscut saw to saw thin pieces. so that you can then knock out wheels across the grain.

The barrels will  be glued on later.

A stair on both the sides is too much
Then the stair to the upper deck must be in the middle. And that is just before the entrance (arrow).

So from the lower deck a staircase on the starboard side. And to the upper deck a staircase on the port side.

The error in the planking will be invissible later

Welkom

Hi @shipman,

I never heard this before.

The pictures I take with my telephone are all 2 or 3 mb, too big for forum use. So I cut the relevant parts and use 'adjust size', which apparently makes them png.

I don't know how to do it in a way that fits you.

Do you mean my pictures in the thread disappear?

If you want I can send you the original ones in a pm. Or you can explain how I still keep jpegs, but with a lower resolution.

i use this.
very easy to use, even for me 😉

Those reef points on the model seem to be artistic license.   It doesn't  look to me, in light of the brails, the sail would lend itself to being reefed at that point.

 

Then there was  druxey's comment.

P.S.

I'm a little miffed now, because I built my Mary with those reef points because  the sail drawn on the plans included them.

Miffed... don't.

This is an old model with original rigging and sails.

The Royal Museums Greenwich website shows a model of the Mary with reefing points in the main and stay sails, no reef bands, and a row of holes in the sails. One for each reef point?

Both??

also nice 😉

if the forward most shroud and mainstay should be served? Also the eyes of the shrouds around the masthead?

I don't think so. (Utrecht replica)

Nice work, good luck with this little yacht.
