    Hello Glenn-UK, I wonder, why there are these (many) oblong holes provided in the keel and the bow and how they are going to be closed later on? Will you paint the hull, so they will be covered completely, imho with a bare wood hull they disturbe the flow of the wood grain visibly. cheers Joachim

    Hi Fritz, some Navy Cutters (10-12 three- or four-pounders mid-eighteenth century) were lapstrake built, e.g. Hawke, Alert. I'm building the English Cutter (af Chapman plan LX No. 6) in lapstrake planking. Cheers Joachim

    Just to give an idea of stowing barrels in the 18th century...... (af Chapman drawing)
  20. cotrecerf
    I just found this: https://www.trinitymarine.co.uk/shop/original-18th-century-ships-salted-beef-barrel/ So there seems to not only having existed the One type of barrels )except for size of course) but various forms and technical executions depending on their contents.

    Pardon, correction: PORT-LOUIS , of course

    Bonjour François, si j'aurais su.... if only I had known (or found) your build earlier. Last week I spent two days of holiday in Saint Louis and visited the fantastic Musée des Compagnies des Indes and the Musée de la Marine there. I am very inpressed by the make up and the so apealing presentation of their exhibits. The fortress and the city itself are very impressive and make our hobby even more fascinating giving a perfect idea of naval background in the 18ième centuring. I congratulate you to your very nice Granado. Salutations collégiales, greetings and cheers Joachim

    My pleasure...

    Hello Peter, after a couple of days not at home here are 2 pages regarding colouring of ships in the 17th century as promised. Unfortunately these are fotos only, as my scanner gave up its service. I hope this helps you someway. Cheers

    Hello Moonbug, please can you tell me what a "fire boom" actually is? To me it rather sounds like an item of a fire ship to help setting fire on an enemy ship under attack. Cheers Joachim
  27. cotrecerf
    Peter, here' one more: Große Jacht – Wikipedia
  28. cotrecerf
    Peter, check this link Kurbrandenburgische Marine – Wikipedia. The original yacht belonged to the Elector of Brandenburg at that time and there are oil paintings showing the yacht, the Brandenburg fleet giving you some idea of the colour scheme. I will scan the pages related to era colouring of the Hoeckel book soon. (They are in German language) Cheers

    Peter PvG Aussie, the plan is a true 1/100 scale, your model looks a bit smaller though. To me its very ambitious to build in 1/200, all this fiddling and tiniest parts to work. Congrats that you acheived to make a very convincing hull so far. greetings Joachim

    Peter PvG Aussie, I agree to Chapman's post #5, the plan you got is a derivate of the Hoeckel et al. plans. If you wanted to look further into ships of the 16th/17th century it might be worthwhile to get a copy of this book containing 11 plan pages with 22 drawings of ships of that era plus an article about colours used. FYI some pics of the book I have.

    Phil, thanks again for the hints to have a look to. Maybe that cutters were seen too unimportant at that time to record something pertaining to bells. I will see what I can find further in that question. Joachim
