The resulting cannon barrel dimensions failed, so repetition of work ..

Old cannon barrels will be converted to small guns aboard ..

I wish everyone success in 2020!! Ondras

Bending boards in several directions awaits you now. You could have started earlier. Learning is important. ✔️O.

I tried to give you a guide to this shape of planks..

It would also help in lining the bow and stern. I wish a quiet building. O.

Greetings. Nice building.

The smooth surface of the first layer is ideal. Any inequality is then visible.

Avoid beginner mistakes, the second layer must already run with the railing lines.

Good luck to the construction !! 🛠️O.

I am getting out of the way of that one!

You must be having a lot of joy making the cannons.

Taper turning can be a pig when on repitition.

Excellently executed.

Pete

Do you think 500 years from now our current ship designs will look so awkward? 

Hopefully, our current ship designs will remain accurate and there will be no room for debate..

It is better not to believe the kit than to believe. Better to measure three times!! I keep my fingers crossed for the result!! Ondras

Greetings Ab. I have read your documents carefully and I must say that you are doing a very good job. All forums discuss the quality of plans. Especially whether to build only according to them as the rules of competitions state or to modify the model according to the rules of history. I'm building a Dutch ship according to a book Risse von Schiffen des 16./17. Jahrhunderts  and I myself have found discrepancies in the plan and I'm trying to improve them. Unfortunately, the shape of the hull is elementary and can't be adjusted. Thank you very much for your messages and contributions, I'm looking forward to reading more.   Ondra

Ondras..when I saw the beginning stages of this ship when you laid out the rough and ready bulkheads from corrugated card I thought " oh dear what are we in for here?"....

But mate!.....you have knocked me for six with the eye to detail, craftsmanship and now present this beautifully made miniature replica.

You are a master at this. A joy for me to witness your hands at work.

Pete

Thank you again Peter Cane.  Your words are encouraging!! 

For smoothing clean shapes I created shaped tools and used a belt sander..

Varnish for wooden pores..🎨 O.

I warmly recommend.. O.
