    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

    Greetings SHIPSCAT. Here's another observation about building this kit. Problems started with skeleton .. I keep my fingers crossed for the building .. Maybe this information will help you.. https://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=100656 O.

    The deck is already in shape.. I decided to place square drains on the top deck. There are none in the plan, but all ships had them. Preparing the lath... I studied the cannons: The ones in the plan look older..😳 At the end of the 16th century, cast cannons were already used. I've found a current build of a same age replica of Barents' ship from 1595, which already had cast cannons with a carriage with only front wheels. The build is based on archaeological findings of wrecks.. http://debarentsz.nl/home/foto.html A video of awreck of aSwedish ship Mars sunk in 1564, also with cast gun barrels.. Regarding Roter Lowe (1597) there isn't much to be found, I've only found this on Wikipedia.. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roter_Löwe_(Schiff,_1597 As to all the plans in the "Risse von Schiffen des 16./17. Jahrhunderts" book, I've read somewhere that these aren't very good reconstructions..
