  1. It took a while for my poor mind to understand all this 😉 Ingenious system, a nice tool
  2. Gluing wooden blocks between the frames should indeed solve this problem The blocks must be correctly sawn at 90°
  3. You make me curious... about what's next 😉
  4. Photo's upside down, and nothing helps... Reduce the size of your photos, that should solve the problem.
  5. The futtock shrouds (indeed, the further you go back in time, the less you can do wrong 😉) I chose to place an eye bolt with hook. More work to make eyebolts but easier to mount the rope to the deadeye. The build of kirrill's Spanish Galleon was very helpfull https://modelshipworld.com/topic/6262-spanish-galleon-1607-by-kirill4-lee-plastic-1100/?do=findComment&comment=182546 Replace one ratline with a futtock stave. It wasn't uncommon that there were still ratlines above this futtock stave Work in progress ready And work started on a display stand Thanks for following, comments and likes.
  6. Congratulations on your beautiful canoe. This adventure was nice to follow.
  7. Good luck And
  8. Completing the fore stays The forestay from the mizzen mast is replaced by a served one (looks better) Mizzen main fore Mast top Next item the shrouds of the top masts. As always, think first, then act. And maybe redo them...😉 ???? difficult choices... My example (Vasa) may not be that reliable in this rigging area after all Since few or no iron objects were found, they also had to search and guess. Great info about 17th century rigging (free download) https://nautarch.tamu.edu/Theses/pdf-files/Corder-MA2007.pdf Thanks for following
  9. Same problem for 16th century ships 😉 And, that's why my next model is probably a coca. A lot of free thinking and a lot of room for interpretation. I think there is a lot of difference between a cog and a coca
  10. Rodolfo has already done a lot of research
  11. The position of the pump is probably correct. A capstan cannot stand on this upper deck (then the rudder can no longer turn) Probably ther was only one windlass in the forecastle for lifting the anchor and the main yard.
