Windows.

I use the resin window as "mold"  

First I cut plastic strips and a piece of aluminum is the base on which the strips are glued together.
The glued plastic does not stick to the aluminum

cut loose

5 windows

I first paint them green and then glue on clear plastic sheet.

I cut away excess clear plastic and ad windshield wipers

in place

5 weasels, washed with soap and water

And with a base layer of paint

From now on, this build can't go wrong anymore

When I saw this ad I was a bit shocked 
Found on a Dutch website (translated to English) 

Building the Soleil Royal of Mantua should be easy. All you need is glue and a hobby knife ...
To all beginners: this is really not true 

Great start!

Nice start,

In case you didn't find them yourself. Some links on the forum about planking.

Was the Golden Hind drawings by Aeropiccola by chance ?

Difficult subject.
In my opinion, Yes

With these drawings you could build a (heavily) armed merchantman. The stern gallery and the poop deck should not be present.

But,

Since no one can really prove what the Golden Hind really looked like, you can also use these drawings for this purpose.
But (again) that's my opinion.

Congratulations Rodolfo.
It was a pleasure to follow the build of this beautiful model

Patrick. They look very good

Alan

Thank you, Alan.

Next things made are the backrests of the seats and the shielding over the exhaust.

The shielding is made of brass mesh (the mesh comes from a filter)

The backrests are made of thin lead foil (this folds easier than styrene)

Current status

1. Add upper hull stern wale ? My gut feeling is not to since it will overlap over the rudder- tiler opening. This would not make any sense as wale is installed to add strength to the hull structure.

2. what plank size (width) to use for the forecastle and the poop deck planking ? Based on the scaled sailor cut out, i think it should be be the wider plank (4-5mm).
 

What does everyone think ?

Great work Ondras

Wishing you a prosperous and healty 2022 too

Very nice work Rodolfo

We can always say that the crew is busy repainting and cleaning up the ship where it is needed.

But as I keep telling to the admiral at home:
I only have two hands and can't paint and repair everything at the same time 😉

Congratulations on this very beautiful model

 A very nice model 👍

Thanks for this educational and interesting buildlog. It was a pleasure to follow

Great work 👍

Beautiful work.

Your work mon these little guys becomes ever more fantastic.

 

It is good that you don't line them up for display, then they would be ducks! And we all know that they are weasels.

Thanks

On special request : The duck family 😉🤣

The rudders and their steering mechanism.

8 rudders from plastic sheet and 2 windows from the parts box

Rudders in place

The ordnance in this build is the Sprgr.43 DoppZ/Pzgr.39/43

Nice interior 👍.

Nice work as always.

But 

At first sight, this type of grenade is for the 8.8cm Pak 43 from the Jagdpanter and the Jagdpanzer Ferdinand.

Not for the KwK 36 L/56 of a Tiger I.

To be sure of this  I have to start dig in my books 

Leftovers or not. 

Good start 👍
