but not yet on gallery

If I were to redo mine GH it would be without.
because historically more accurate

Nice 

Is the scale 1/100 (signature) or 1/300 (titel) ?

Nice find on the coins and nice military models in the background. 

I did a Nato manoeuvre in 1983.

Cardboard frames are looking great.

Indeed,  very beautiful work

Indeed. 

For this, solid wood is always better than plywood.

Questions to those in the know please and thanks.

During the construction of my GH I downloaded quite a few pdf's.

Nice start. I follow.

My first scratch model was an attempt to make a copy of the GH.
good luck with yours

Congratulations,  a beautiful model.

I can send you more info and drawings via pm about these shields.
But then you have to wait a bit, Baker is on vacation

Great start Steven

It feels like quite a small update

Large update 😉.

The strakes normally follow the lines of the planks and seal the seams between two planks

Well, I suppose I could, but I think this looks quite neat as it is. What do you think

neat indeed 👍
Here indeed there was no clinker planking, but removable shields.

Good and nice work 

Planking the inside of the railing.

Checking if the cannon ports are still in the right place 

And the planking of the deck has begun.

For the deck planking the walnut wood from the kit is used. Excellent quality 👍

Very good for a first build

Indeed, a ladder inside.

the pointed shape of fore castles like this  are really awkward.
No wonder that they later switched to another more spacious shape (galleon).

And in the log from @djford we @Louie da fly had the question how to get to the lowest deck of the fore castle.

Exceptionally  images from the book. According to them it is possible that the ladder on cabin 4 continues to this deck on the fore castle

According to that explanation it could be something like this

Fore castle 1/50  drawing 1/100

Actually,this is not possible i think
If this staircase (yellow) continues at the back of cabin 4 (white area) further on the outside of the castle, you'll be stuck against the anti-boarding net (red).
The staircase(s) must therefore be in the castle

Forecastle update

The lowest deck is starting to become difficult to reach and has therefore been treated with a layer of Danish oil

Almost forgotten, the bowsprit

Determine roughly where it comes with a dumimy . The right angle is ??

something like this?

close but it fits. 

And is supported.

The shape of the front part under the bowsprit still needs to be adjusted.
How exactly, I don't know yet

She's looking really good and bit tiny next to the Mary Rosasaurus Rex behind her. 😁 I've seen many here working with pear. I haven't tried that species yet. I'm not sure how available it is in the US. 

Thanks. 

Luckily Mary Rosasaurus doesn't have any teeth yet😉.

Personally i like cherry wood more than pear wood
