  1. it's been 6 years since the first pictures of this log were posted on 12 september 2016. So today not a big update, but looking back on 6 years of fun, with an occasional dip if something didn't work from the first time 😉 It started as a simple plan to use Aeropicollo's plans. This was quickly given up (bad idea) Septeber 2017 lower hull ready september 2018 interior works september 2019 captain's cabin september 2020 building masts september 2021 Restoring a Singer and sewing Sails 12 september 2022 today, rigging in full process. Hopefully fully ready in 2023 Thanks to everyone who followed, liked, gave advice and supported this build log. Without all of you I would never have made it this far.
  2. Mamoli is now owned by Dusek http://www.dusekshipkits.com/products You may find this info in Revenge build logs i think (hope) https://modelshipworld.com/forum/133-kit-build-logs-for-subjects-built-from-1501-1750/
  3. Attach the main sail to the mast. First put in to shape with diluted PVA glue In place The gere The parrel The halyard comes neatly next to the mizzenmast stay A lot of rope work will be needed, and the space on the deck will become difficult to access. That's why I'm going also apply the topsail and work from top to bottom.
  4. Wow,beautiful model. And
  5. They took the Swedish Vasa partly as an example, and she has those planks too. indeed probably as extra reinforcement against waves
  6. small update. Most of my free time still goes to the bathroom renovation, luckily the end of this adventure is in sight. With more experience in rigging I attached as much rope to the main sail as possible. This works so much easier and less stressful for arms and back 👍
  7. I hope this helps. Batavia replica link pictures removed (This site is no longer in use, Baker april 2024) plan A Roter Lowe, step by step (beakhead starts somewhere at post 260)
  8. Great work. There are quite a few nice examples of a beakhead. I'll look for it, but you'll have to give me a few days. I'm quite busy at the moment 😉
  9. Do a google search for "revell QE2 instructions". I think you can download the pdf.
  10. Make a wooden model and use the fittings and figures of this model. But... but...but... 😉.I can't bring myself to demolish the model for this purpose.
