Good to see you are back at the workbench, I was a bit worried you had given up on Jylland. Anders

Mark, her is a couple of pictures that hopefully will clarify how the stern looks. Wefalck´s plans in post #107 shows the stern as it was drawn and build in 1860 while the kit represents Jylland as she is today. In 1874 she was rebuild to take the Danish king to Iceland. This included raising the aft deck to make accommodations for the king. Fit for a king it even included a water closet.

As you are working on the bulwarks, here is a couple of pictures of how they look. As you will see they are quite thick and with some decoration.

Mark, looking trough my pictures of Jylland I didn´t have much on the catheads. The ones I got is a postcard and a picture from the book on Jylland. Hopefully you will find them somewhat useful Anders

Like many other ships Jylland was modified and rebuilt during her active life. Two of the pictures below show how she looked from the outset with only a small cabin all the way at the back end of the main deck. Sorry for the bad quality of the pictures. They pictures of old analog photos taken with my cellphone. You can order the book about Jylland here: https://www.bogtorvet.net/historien-om-fregatten-jylland_kure-bernt_1666840 As for the figurehead you have a challenge.......

Mark, the planking on Jylland is quite noticeable even from a distance. When I built my hull 25 years ago I double planked it with an outer layer of 4 mm wide planks of thin plywood to simulate the look of the real ship. Here are some photos of the bulkhead for the rear cabin. This cabin by the way was not a part of the original design. It was added when the Danish king Christian IX was visiting Iceland in 1874.

Great progress. The propellor lifting mechanism is a quite cool part of the design. Here is a couple of pictures of how it looks on deck and down below. The metal nett is probably added in modern time for security as Jylland is a museum ship. I have more pictures so if you are in need of information on any particular part of the ship just let me know and I will see what I have. Another info channel is the Facebook group "Fregatten Jylland" Anders

Hi, when I found your build log for Jylland it brought back som memories. I started building the old Billing Jylland many years ago and like you I found the kit to be quite incorrect. When time came for coppering the bottom the build just stopped and it´s been sitting on a shelf in my shop ever scince. In 1999, on a jobtrip to Denmark I was able to visit Jylland in Ebeltoft. During my visit I took quite a few (analog) pictures and also bought some quite nice postcards showing different details of the ship. As you will see from the attached pictures the bow section of the hull is a bit different from the kit. This area is open so you can see down on the heads from the foredeck above. If you want more detaild photos and plans of Jylland I can recomend two books by Danish author Bernt Kure called "Historien om Fregatten Jylland" (The history of the frigate Jylland) and "Livet om bord på Fregatten Jylland" (Life on board the frigate Jylland). They are written in Danish but includes lots of pictures and several plans of the ship. I don´t think these books are available new but you may find them in online second hand bookstores like here: https://www.bogtorvet.net/historien-om-fregatten-jylland_kure-bernt_1888495 -Anders
