  1. Remco, I found some information in: "The Arming and Fitting of English Ships of War 1600 - 1815" by Brian Lavery (see attached pdf) Hope that clarifies things a bit - I do love books arming_and_fitting.1600_1815.pdf
  2. vivan, you'll probably tear those planks to pieces after the use of CA, maybe a good idea to cut them loose with a very sharp knife ... kind-a slice em off (Cut away from your hands and fingers!!)
  3. Remco, Just when we thought te bar couldn't be raised any higher, you just pushed it up another notch ... Great work!
  4. Looking rather realistic but for your 'icecream shop lighting' alongside the Warspite as you already mentioned. Though, it does give a nice impression what it will be like
  5. I don't know what you think is small, to me these are some major updates on the deck. Beautifully executed!
  6. Kees, Lucky you found out now and not when you would have been half way down the line ... Glad you got that new lineplan, which makes me excited to see your next update
  7. You do rather well as an 'enlightened' cave dweller ... It has something cosy about it, nice workplace, which produces some very good results
  8. Looking good. I like the strengthening of the hull with the vertical planks
  9. Vivian, I have to fall i with Bill, I'm lucky to join a build half way ... I'm more lucky now: 2nd page! Looking forward to this build
  10. Piet, I'm very glad you're in the clear. (I presume you mean: 'only benign tissue' or 'no malign tissue') I do admire your strength of will, perseverance, and optimism (the waiting will not have been easy!) Take care with that flu (Gwen too)
  11. As we say in the Netherlands: 'The bow can't be strung all the time', after all it's not a race. You still managed to show us some nice new details
  12. Piet, You want to deprive us of some major 'learning by mistake' Heavy planks I presume, your injured thumb won't be a big help either. We'll just wait patiently on your pictures and progress. Take care
  13. Looking sharp, very neatly done. BTW I like your sanding tool, haven't seen that one before
  14. It looks strange to me ... something like pegs for coats and an upside-down chair at the end ... Still some fine craftmanship putting it all neatly together
  15. You're off to a gooooood start mate. I'm not worried about the final result looking at your prowes and progress!
  16. Clean, and crisp draught marks Remco. P.s. How on earth did you take that picture whilst drilling with two hands?!?!?!?
