Continue with the profiles. It’s slowly going faster now.
But there are still a lot.
Now, however, I also have to take add-on parts into account, such as roll keels and propulsion.
They will only be attached to the fuselage after all the profiles have been done so that I can sand them properly beforehand.

Thank you for your interest and the likes received, always much appreciated.
Well there is just a small update on the starboard side. The lower whale has been fitted, the bulb/bottle has been provisionally fixed in its future position and the bow area has been fitted with the decorative timbers. At the same time, I started on the port side

Hello everyone, thank you very much for your likes and comments, much appreciated.
Now a little update, a total of 1767 nails have been placed so far and there are still a few more to come.

Ondras71 reacted to Baker in Mary Rose by Baker - scale 1/50 - "Your Noblest Shippe"
Thanks Ab, this is much appreciated.
The further build up of the rear castle
Frames 6, 8 and 10 are laid out using the laser
All frames are in place
Started with the cannon ports
And planking of the stern
Some filler pieces are first atteched
sawing...
On almost all drawings of the Antony roll a beam (wale) can be seen just below the opening for the tiller
Follow the drawing as much as possible
Result
An oops moment. Where there should be a hole for a cannon are frames.
Time to bring out the isopropyl alcohol. Soak off the glue of the framing and do it right
Thanks for following

Ondras71 reacted to Hubac's Historian in TRE KRONER 1742 by Beckmann - 3"/8' scale - Transom-Model
For carving the split-tail tritons out of wood, my inclination would be to carve from the thighs, on up, first, while leaving the twisted lower legs oversized and for last. Before carving them, I’d make a backing piece that the carving fits into, and temporarily fix it in-place with a glue that could be dissolved in alcohol later. This support block should have a long enough handle, or extension, so that it can be clamped in a vice for working the fine details.
You have done really beautiful work! I’m enjoying the build very much.

Ondras71 reacted to Beckmann in TRE KRONER 1742 by Beckmann - 3"/8' scale - Transom-Model
Hello Everybody,
the last weeks I was busy, planking the model. Bending and twisting of planks with dimenson of 2/13 and 2/11 mm was more challenging than I thought ist would be. The curves in the lower areas of the model are very narrow. Here you can see some pictures of the progress.
After this was done, I faired everything.
The colours will be like other contemporary models from the Krigsmuseet in Copenhagen.
Model of CHRSITIAN DEN SIETTE
Model of FYEN
I decided to nail the bright parts of the hull.
After finishing this, I will paint the black areas of the hull an start building the stern and quartergalleries.
I already made the drawings of most of the parts and tested them on the model and prepared the wood to be laser-cut.
It ist all pear-wood I cut in a garden close to the place to our village.

Ondras71 reacted to Loracs in Revenge 1577 by Loracs - Amati - 1:64
Deadeyes racks and gunport doors installed to the ship. This is no small task... amazing the number of little parts... all having to be fixed with nails. The good news, it is done and no major break (couple of minor ones though). Mark, drill and push in... all the while holding my breath that nothing fall apart. And those little corner parts on top of the racks!! each need to be adjusted to fit, what a pain.
With this done, this officially start the rigging segment of the build, starting with the deck cannons.

Triangular deadeye platforms are ready to be installed. A little messy with the label... but they will go away.

Eyebolts, Racks and Cleats: Various small parts are installed on the ship. Those are quite a challenge. Each is re-enforced with nails for stability. A comment on Bibetou: I seriously hate this wood. It is far too fragile to be used as construction material. So far each piece has been strengthened by planking it with walnut strips... it is almost a requirement.

Ondras71 reacted to Loracs in Revenge 1577 by Loracs - Amati - 1:64
Small Palissade is finally done... only a few cosmetic touches once the glue cured.
Made more progress but only in building small pieces to be fixed later.
Gunport doors look tricky to place and remain put on the ship.
There are times like now where not much is "seen" to be happening but it is advancing slowly.

Completed planking inside the deck and stated to tackle the bow. In keeping with the color theme, both areas were planked using walnut strips. The bow was quite fragile... and thus was reinforced underneath, above and on the sides. Here's what it looks like so far.
Note: the bow side panels are not glued yet. I still need to add the canon door first.

Final look with the side panels up and planked. This is a moment I have been waiting to see for quite a while now. Wood inlays were incorporated as I planked so they don't stand out too much. Walnut strips from 1mm to 5mm complete the overall layout. It adds a little dimension to the sides. Overall, I'm pleased with the result. Ready to complete planking inside and tackle the bow and the stern.

Slow progress (the ship is emerging from the dark): Working on the last segments of the ship. This is the time where all the small imperfections start to haunt you. 1 mm here and another there, curved deck not perfectly glued or wood taking back its original shape (does not want to be curved), missing a couple grooves in the deck for the inner walls changing slightly the angle of the upper deck, etc...
This means that several hours are spent making small adjustments before considering adding the final side panels. In addition, I have to plan the changes in decorations carefully, with all the risk it entails (i.e. not really knowing if the end results will be ok... or not and potentially jeopardizing hundreds of hours of work). Here's what it looks like now.
Note: @Ferrus Manus, @Darivs Architectvs, I did not have the courage to remove the monograms... they were already glued when you posted. ;_)
Note 2: I took the liberty to reenforce the mats junction to the decks (plywood + hardwood). A little thicker but a tradeoff I'm ok to accept. The reason is that the mats won't be glued. They need to be temporary (but really solid), since they will need to come off (and part of the rigging) when we move in few years from now. Currently, it is a thigh fit and will hold really well.
