Mirabell61 reacted to puckotred in Xebec by puckotred - Amati - Scale 1:60
Thank you tasmanian and Clare
I finished the lower part of the hull.
I suspect that I switched two frames in the middle. You can see the "bump" on the left of the picture.
Still got the upper part of the hull to plank. After that I'll fix the bump.

Thanks so much Nils, Dave, Jason and John for the kind comments and thanks also to the "likes".
Jason, there is a companionway. In the last two photos, you can see the framing for the ladder opening in the upper deck.

Igor,
thank you very much for your words,.....
I am momentarily doing the last little bits in fitting out...
now the benches on the upper decks are on and also the radio aerial wires (antenna). The three story staples of collapsible boats have received securing holding down chains, and I`ve started to fit rope coils to the davit fall belaying cleats...
Will still have to do all the flags and some rigging (pulleys, blocks and hooks ) to the cargo load beams and to the winches...., but now its all not long any more

Carl,
thank you very much for your kind appreciative words. For rounding up the build there will next to the appropriate post update, still be a set of photos to be made and to be placed in my gallery.
For my next model I have now made up my mind and chosen a Chebece type vessel. I simply just ca`nt free my mind from the lovely pics of this ship type that Karl, member (Jeronimo), did show in the introduction to his current build. I presume the French Chebec "Le Requin" may be a bit above my skill level, but I have ordered the plans and building intructions only, from Amati in Torino for the beautiful Arabian / north African Amati Sciabecco 1753 Chebec. The scale I am intending to enlarge from 1:60 to 1:48, and to perform it in a modified and customised POB scratch build (somewhat like the hull framing I did with the Pegasus build from Amati Plan some time ago). In the moment I`m still in the research and planning phase, while the KWdG is being completed.
When the time for the start shot comes, of course there will be a seperate build log....
The enclosed pic is borrowed from the web...

Moving forward on the aft lower deck, I've added the last transverse partition, the inner hull planking in that section, the ladder to the hold from the lower deck and the beginning of the upper deck beams.
The partition and the hull planking were done exactly like the previous ones and need no further description.
The ladder was made from boxwood strip and fitted to the curvature of the hold planking. It looks a little strange, but I'm not aware of any alternative.
The deck beams are laser cut boxwood pieces that I cut to fit each location. It was certainly a timesaver to have all of the roundup precut and consistent through the beams.
I'm also attaching a photo of the doors mounted at the rear cabin, which I had neglected to attach with my previous update.

Mirabell61 reacted to JSGerson in USS Constitution by JSGerson - Model Shipways Kit No. MS2040
The practicum would have you glue in place the rails with the required spacing to create openings for the rowlocks. Then it would have you custom fit cut styrene flat pieces to create the locks. I did it differently.
Because the rowlock had to be in specific positions, I installed the first set beginning at the bow end. The rails at the bow were pre-bent to the required curve and custom fitted between the stem and the first rowlock. The next set was done the same way; install the lock first, then the rail till the final rail was installed reaching the transom.

Thank you again Slog and Pat.
Pat, Amatsukaze was completed in October 1940 - 15 months before Pearl Harbor. That makes it peace time in my book .
Another Alien Invader - this time the Main Engine Room Vent. Here's the part after cutting out :
And 3 hours later after gluing it together. No filler or paint has been applied yet, not much will be needed :

Completed the planking of the top sides on the hull, in particular I raised, as planned, the height of the sides in the stern and, above all, in the bow area.
Now I've to start the cleaning and refining tasks before proceeding with new details of these "falke".

Thanks very much MD1400cs, and Dan,
the case is done, except for the four bottom metal corners, I should have bought 8 instead of 4, ordered 4 more
Every time a case is complete, I `m glad there was no broken glass during process....
On the KWdG there is still some rigging to be done, I`ll forward a set of final Photos, when all is complete..
Nils
Baseplate with 6 positioning pins and removeable bottom rail of the glas bonnet
corner pin
mid-length pin, the width of the ships own stand base fits well in between those lugs
pins, (screws) clipped off at the rear side
frame, glass and metal corners....
have to mount the four bottom metal corners securely, before the bonnet can be taken off in one part
