Very good video, Kenny. Your hints and -sorry to say- your small inaccuracies are very helpful for me, to avoid the same mistakes. Normally a model maker doesn't like to show these details. But these are the points which will help others.
 
Thanks for sharing

Very nice progress, Karl

Yeh Gary,
 
I have made some silly mistakes when cutting out frames, only piece of absolute advice I can definitely give is check the scale every time you print a set out plans for the framing - ask me how I know!!

Hello friends.
Main frames.

Part 3

An excellent video of advice for folks contemplating a fully framed model. You are a very honest model-maker, Kevin! I appreciate you sharing your experience with everyone.

Another set of eight frames has been completed up to 2-fore, you can see how light the new pear framing is in color compared to the recovered old framing, the floor fillers for this section of framing has only been glued to the fore side of each frame so as to be able to "float" as per druxeys advice.
I am currently sanding and fairing it to match the after side framing.

Hello,thanks for your likes and thaks for looking.
A little update: lower deck, carriages, planks for wales, deck planking, treenailing...

all,
 
My Halve Maen build was already on hold, but during our move to a new house in November 2015, she got lost because one of our friends put her box on the pavement instead of in our car.
 
After that the enthusiasm to build was completely gone. I spent last year enjoying my other hobbies.
 
But, as a Dutch saying goes: 'Blood is thicker than water' and the urge to build another ship came back.
 
So, May I present to you the Spanish Galleon Nuestra Señora del Pilar De Zaragoza (Our lady of the pillar of Zaragoza), a Spanish Treasure Galleon.

Width: 520 mm
 
History
During the 17th and 18th centuries Spanish galleons served the Spanish crown as merchantmen and warships. Many of them sailed between Acapulco and Manila, transporting South American silver to the Philippines and exotic goods from Asia to Mexico, from where the treasures were sent back to Spain.
 
Commisioned in 1731 and launched in 1733, Nuestra Señora del Pilar de Zaragoza (Our Lady of the Pillar of Zaragoza) was one of these Manila Galleons built of the finest Philippine wood, she was 112 feet on deck and displaced 1,000 tons. A 4th rate of the Cavogonda class, she was fitted with 50 cannon, two stern chasers and six swivel guns. She carried a crew of 385 men.
 
For twenty years she sailed the route from Mexico to Manila and in 1750 underwent a complete refit in the Port of Cavite. In 1750, on her last voyage, she set sail from Manila bound for Acapulco. Despite being overloaded, and contrary to the opinion of both pilots and Master, her Captain insisted on weighing anchor at the beginning of September. En route for the Mariana Islands, in the Pacific, they began to have difficulties after sailing into a heavy storm, and she sank taking all of her crew down with her.

Hi Roger,
 
exist a build log of your long boat? I am very interested to see your model.

Albert,
 
every update is a feast for the eyes.

Such figures in 54mm which is a classic scale for figures would be nice

Great model, Nils

I agree with, Daniel. For a ship of the later 18th century, Druxey is right. For a dutch ship of the 17th century option d is also possible.

It has been I while since I posted any progress... it goes rather slowly.
I've been putting more hours into a paper for work than into my model... plus I am getting injections in my left eye to correct a condition with my vision.  It has affected modelling and  my day job.  I spend hours reading engineering drawings and documents.
 
I have branch retinal vein occlussion caused by macular edema.
I have a fluid build up (bump) at the back of my eye very near the focal point that causes lines and print to pull together.
I occasionally still see a fine black dot due to my last (first) injection.  Two more to go and hopefully the fluid pocket is gone and things reshape back to near normal or better yet.. normal.
 
Modelling isn't a race but it does keep calling me downstairs.

Great model, Nils

Good morning
Thank you J.P , druxey and fmartins 
I use dye teak and rosewood and then linseed oil.
 
Such small models need to use veneer rather than slats.
Anchor made of tin
 
It was a small accident
Everything is ok .

Great model, Nils
