Looks great. Well done

Most of my time the last few weeks has gone to installing a new laptop. The old laptop hadn't survived a fatal upgrade to windows 10. And considering I'm no IT specialist , complete installation of the new laptop takes a while ... Building the staghorns The staghors were first completed and then glued on the model. In total there are 10 4 at the waist 4 on the half deck 2 at the fore castle (to be placed later) The places where they are provided are based on these drawings. Building staghorns first glued on a plank after drying cut loose Meanwhile, the construction of 2 pumps has started. Again many questions. On which deck, how much and where do I place them. Which deck? The deck below this deck is expected to drain water to the hold. Therefore, the pumps are on this deck at the waist / rear castle. How much ? Probably 1 or 2. Because we anticipate a long unknown journey. This Pelican gets 2. Where? Normally behind the main mast close to the center of the deck. The pumpshafts should be (visible) on the lower deck. But to be able to drill holes , I will have to remove part of the deck from the rear castle (small construction error ). These pumps will be glued to the deck later. If I place them now, they'll get in the way of the knighthead and I'll get in trouble later. Thanks for following, comments and likes

Yes, fantastic 👍👍

The Golden Hind : certainly not. Most plans and kits are based on drawings and ideas that were not from the 16th century. No one can say that he is building the right model. But actually no one can say your model is built incorrectly I try to build a Pelican / Golden Hind ( i discovered that building a 16th century galleon is complicated...) The Revenge : maybe It is said that modelkits are designed from a drawing by Mathew Baker, a shipbuilder from the 16th century. Correct?? These are old kits. Designed according to the then available information. Have fun building these models. that is the most important thing.

Great idea, thanks

The little one at the bottom center looks like me when I was younger 😂

Looks great Nice weathering 👍

Welcome to MSW, and good luck with the first model 👍

Polystyrene is plastic Page 8 post 227 I like working with it

This is one of the reasons why i use polystyrene The plank for the belaying pins should definitely be wider. Otherwise, you will run into problems with the rigging

My idea, Probably an original winch is not made of one piece, but from different pieces of wood. And is this misunderstood by the builder of the model, and therefore it has grooves There are also no square holes in the winch?? the ratchet is ridiculously weak : indeed Added the winch of the replica yacht Duyfken And a winch on a drawing (also with "grooves")

interesting lesson in history. But. Dutch, Hollands, Flemish, Frisian. let's say that in this very small part of the world. no one understands each other when he speaks his own dialect. and if you look far enough back in history we might all be a little bit family

Hello and

Nice work jean Pierre. 👍

Knap gedaan Well done

Beautiful shields Steven Great work

I want one also. Looks great

Nice stories about hot barrels. My only experience with a "hot" barrel Fired 40 rounds 8 x 57 in a short time with my K98. The barrel became hot, so that through the warm air above the barrel my target (paper card) seemed to "float" Warm oil dripped out of the wood And my shoulder was stiff the next day...🤕

As promised Drilling out a gun barrel Twist with the x acto knife Drilling done Matt black paint Pencil Ps, This is my first post on MSW done on my smartphone and no google translate. A mile stone for me

Yep, Forgetting to tell. I always add about 25% matte black at their gunmetal

I normally use gun metal. With here and there some pencil to get more detail. Matte black and then going over with pencil is also pretty good. Best is to practice first on some leftovers. There is an easy method to drill out the barrel. With a sharply pointed x acto knife. But pictures will tell more than my google english (is for later) Look in my signature at the ADGZ funkwagen.

The colors that Keith S uses are beautiful. I once experimented with silver paint on the inside. Don't do this, not a good solution.

Nice winter camo. Question : Will the .50 on the turret remain in the brown color?

Just an idea. I made crates. Filled them up. And placed them near each cannon. To give the impression that they were brought on deck just beforea they were needed .
