The work is done to perfection. One would want to spend hours just looking at the precision of the work. 

 

Thank you so much Rick, I appreciate your words!

The last part to be painted, the inside railing of the foredeck..

The wall of the back castle..

Added rear side bar for Belaying pins..

Thank you very much for the like!

I provided the rear deck with all the pins..

Added Kevel blocks to the rear deck..

though not a build log as such, i thought i'd share something i've imagined for many many years, at which time, i partly put together a heller soleil royal........i disliked the hull so much, i gave it away....i really don't know if i can do this but i'm sure gonna have fun trying.....will probably be my swan song 😁

   and now, marc,neko, was kind enough to share his lines, and i got all inspired again...and marc, hubac, found me a good deal on a kit, which i'm expecting in a few days....

   sooooooo....i put the hull together and found a pic of the top bulwarks.....i'll have to wait for the kit to see if i can make it all come together.....mostly working on the revell constitution now, so it will be a while before things come together.....dream on vic dream on....

      

I was very happy to find your next build here. I will be happy to watch. Thank you for continuing..

As always.
Very nicely done Ondras 👍

Thank you very much Patrick!!

I lined the back deck with lapped boards..

Deck with gratings ground..

Deck sanded..

View below the rear deck..

Thank you for the like!

I made blocks for cannon hoists. Training kept under deck..

Hoists ..

Cannons arranged and placed in the transport position..👍

Glued grating, these I have to grind with the deck, to this created a "box" that prevents contamination of works..

The base of the aft deck..

I'm learning to work with a ropewalk. It's really about testing. Catch weight weights and skill.. The first ropes and anchor cable Gutermann ..💥

First I have to create ropes for the cannons, which will already be placed under the aft deck.

I study in detail and only now do I understand that the "rope" is braided only once from 3x32 threads .. Then the anchor "cable" is braided from three prepared ropes..

After the first twisted ropes, I confirmed that the Dutch ships had, against the English, all the ropes turned to transport, even stays. This is confirmed in publications by Ab Hoving, such as "The Ships of Abel Tasman" and on replicas of Batavia and Duyfken..😱

So I used the table of the Czech modeler marsalva, to whom I would like to thank very much for the information, because the system dropped my trial and I don't have to invent the invented ones,
For a 3x1 rope, which is braided from three clockwise threads, the threads must first be turned to the left, elongated by 3.6 percent and then pre-spun to the left to form a clockwise thread.
During this, I ran the threads several times between my fingers and the resulting cable, which is more hairy, went through the flame of the candle and the resulting cable P 3x1 with a thickness of 0.37 mm is great !!💯

After a week's sick leave, I finally completed my ropewalk. I only bought the Czech "Merkur" set with wheels and a motor, the others are various remains, the other side is still driven by a cordless drill .. It works ..🛠️

After a short training "IT" really creates ropes !! So far, I'm training on the remnants of threads ..💥

You have been quite busy, Ondras, since I last checked-in.  All of the work is superb, but your cannons are very finely detailed and finished.  I really admire your metal skills!

Thank you very much for the nice words. I try to reach the maximum, it's slow. Ondras

Fittings finished, next time I'd rather create etched parts, this is hard work..

To be on the safe side, I provided the bottoms of the wheels with pin holes for a firm placement on the deck..

Cannons on the main deck done..👍

 

Cannon trucks folded, complete with side fittings, waxed..

Test of cannons on the upper deck..

I measured Dutch artillery trucks..

Production of artillery trucks..

Artillery trucks folded ..

Ready material for ropewalk..

Thank you for the like..👍

I finished the cannon barrels on the upper deck. They have been ready for 2.5 years...😱

I placed Large staghorn and Level blocks on the main deck..

Thanks for the like!👍

The lower capstan is glued..

I finished the upper capstan and added a rope pulley to the Halyard knighthead post against the plan Main top rope..

Before gluing the deck beams, I adjusted the visible places at the holes on them, the grating do not have a scale force..

I also create Large staghorn and Kevel blocks, these are completed according to Zehaen's plan..

Rear grating shaped ..

From the beginning, I thought he would hardly see under the aft deck. Despite the wide grating, there will be a lot to see there. That's why I decided to supplement the knee padding. I didn't like the first attempt with colored dots ..

It forced me to drill and place metal..

I add underdecks, cannonball boxes..

The Dutch double deck also has them on the open deck..

I also think about stone balls of the right caliber..

And Capstan production. Simplified under deck..

Drilled holes for hinge hooks. The blankets of the shooting ranges are kept, I will place them at the end of the construction..

And I used the week of incapacity for work to progress in the construction..😱 Previously prepared gratings for the aft deck were shaped..

And according to them, deck beams are created..

And added previously prepared knees..

And now I have to fill the lower deck and close the deck..

Not my period of time, this ship, but this log is one of my 'go-too's', just because of your wonderful craftmanship! 🙂

Thank you very much friends. I'm just trying to look at someone else's job and deal with it.😎

Hooks for goal hinges. Tube 1 / 0.2 and nails 0.5 mm. Very small ..😱

Parts folded and soldered ..

The hooks turned out well..

I have already received yarn for knitting ropes, so the production of ropewalk awaits me, I am already studying instructions on how to knit..🛠️

I ordered other light shades for the test, which will be the best...

I equipped the hatches with hinge caps. From the waste, I created an imitation of a loophole with a pitch of hanging eyes..🛠️

Drilled and nailed with homemade 0.5 mm wire nails. Surface waxed..

I thank everyone for the like..😇

I hung the rudder...

Further work hinges on loopholes. Previously ground from 0.2 sheet and now soldered 1 / 0.2 tube..

So in the end, the rudder hinges, which I made from a weak material, were damaged by the acid so that they could not be used, they softened completely..

I made new 0.3 mm thick sheet metal and 1.3 / 0.2 tubes..

Extra work, but in the end the hinges are 100% better than the first..👌

Rudder hinges placed..

I created the posts of the stand ..

Temporary struts are left for further construction to prevent movement to the sides..

And finally, the handrail of the balcony railing ..

waxed ..

Thank you so much Roger.. I thank everyone for the like..😇

I want to finish the rudder before placing the model on the final stand.

After a longer time of soldering hinges ..

Ready for cleaning and blackening..

I found that cleaning with nitric acid must be done carefully, 0.2 mm sheet metal and tubes with a wall of 0.1 mm are terribly tricky, especially the tubes can be quickly etched by acid .. I had to replace one..😱

Thank you so much Backer.. I thank everyone for the like..😇

Balcony railing glued..

During drying, I stuck a lion statue firmly..

..and began manufacturing the rudder..

Finished railing waxed, only a handrail..

Thank you so much taby.. I thank everyone for the like..😇

Very nicely done Ondrass 👍

Thank you so much Backer. I thank everyone for the like..😇

I continue to shape the balcony railing on a template made of waste..🛠️

Now it's time for the dark wood posts..😴

Hello. I carved the guide rail on a FET saw according to Andrej Kudin. 2x 45 degrees, then an octagon is created on it..👌
