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

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...🤕

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 .
-
I have an Einhell And am quite satisfied, saw all the wood for my Pelicane with it. The rough work and the accurate work.

Thaks for the nice comments. Making this figurehead was so much fun that I finished it first. First an idea of what i should become Wings in pencil Wings carved feathers carved and start loosening the piece of wood Need plastic surgery (CA glue) carving ready a base coat of white painting in progress painting ready and dry fitted used tools and paint the figurehead is not yet glued on. There is still too much chance to damage it during the further build Thanks for folowing, likes and comments

Indeed, the planking looks great. Nice work Tigersteve
-
This model was mainly used for close infantry support. A steel helmet is then not an unnecessary luxury if you want to look outside.. And 2 sets of spruces : lucky you, extra spare parts for free 👍
