Hi, It took a little bit longer but here's my best shot related to the seats of ease. Just behind them there's indeed an intriguing void, so I wouldn't felt that comfortable on these seats of ease.... Other pics are related to the preparations of the yards. Some bending was required. For the footsteps or whatever they were called I used 0,5 mm brass

Dag Patrick
misschien ben je hiermee wijzer ?

Bedankt,
Dit bevestigd helemaal wat ik al vermoedde.
De onderste "wale" bevind zich net boven de waterlijn.
Ik maak er een "post" van in mijn bouwlog.
Eerst nog wat studeren over dit onderwerp.
Via de tekening van Mathew Baker moet dit zelfs rekenkundig te bewijzen zijn.
Hoop ik
Ps,
Hoe is't met de kat (wij hadden vroeger ook katten, vandaar)
Groetjes
Patrick

This is just wonderful. You cannot compare these stairs with those supplied in the box. Also love the blue color. You certainly put tremendous effort improving this kit. The result is so rewarding : the pics speak for themselves

Hi Jason, thaks for drawing my attention regarding the additional seats : I'll have to check this...stay tuned By the way : I completely forgot to post pics related to the seats in the gallion. This turned out rather well( a job for next W.E. ) Styrene has proven it's utility in previous occasions. I can only recommend it. Some tiny parts in cutting and shaping out of walnut ?...I don't think so. I have 2 diifferent sheets at my disposal : 0.25 mm and 0.5 mm. Now a less pleasant job : to the vet with my cat. She's 16 years old and not going to well lately and a blood analysis is required.

Hello, Yards : preparation : The stunsail brackets As Ray quite rightly at page 15 mentions (HMS Diana by Ray - FINISHED - Caldercraft/Jotika - A 38 gun Heavy Frigate, 1794) they are a bit oversized, indeed. I decided to go for the "styrene"-option. I used 0.25 mm thickness sheets. As the end of the yards are tapered, the strip that was to be bended and fixed with superglue around them, described a small curve. The stunsail brackets are to be overpainted anyway. The 3rd pic shows what was supplied with the kit I also had to fore a 1mm hole at both extremeties of each concerned yard, no big deal.

Great Job ! Especially the rigging : this is a benchmark for me.

Congrats Bob, wonderful job I'm impressed by the quality as well as the speed of this performance.

Hi Andy, Planking looks fine to me. It's to be covered by the copperplates anyway. I guess you mentioned it before : exchanging the supplied copperplates by Victory/Amati copperplates (according to Jason's log) is an excellent idea.
-
Indeed BE, after the boomkins it is. Thanks for the appreciation, and again ( to quote so many) glad you're back with with us : your buildlog is milestone

Thanks a lot Patrick, much appreaciated this info. Pics related to the subject from HMS Victory are super !!!What a difference between sailors and officers, isn't it ? In the meantime, the problem has been solved. I'll post some pics next week. regardless the poor weather conditions, we're to spend an extended week-end at the Belgian coast. Perhaps other Diana - builders ( maybe also other kits ) faced the same problem ? The two protruding masts may obstruct the original ( correct ) position of the seats of ease At present I'm preparing the yards Thanks for the input.

Hi Nils As so many, I'm following your log with great interest & admiration. As this is a scratch-build log , I can only refer here to a famous German writer : "In der Beschränkung zeigt sich erst der Meister."

Hi Chris, This is solid, least to say. Regarding the wooden hull, is this also a (double?) planking procedure, similar to period ships ? If so, a lot of sanding will be required to obtain a smooth surface, I guess. Went through some"googeling" : along with her sistership Musashi = these were huge ships
-
So far for the good news show. Here's a word of caution related to the position of the seats of ease in front of the gallion. As the pics show and as consequence of a mistake of mine the, holes are covered. So I filled them up, sanded with a high grid. I'll see were to install on the gallion the seats of ease later on. Sad but not critical.

Thanks guys, Hi Dave : thanks for the info : now I understand : it makes sense. Hello Rob : your nice comments are much appreciated.

Hi Nils, Sjors & Patrick Thanks for the nice comments & the likes. Patrick : Please, take a look in Sjors' Agamemnon buildlog. You'll find them. In other logs too : Vanguard, Pegasus,... Diana never had, so this detail is a bit fictitious, I'm afraid. Also the open bulwarks, I guess. But it's fun and those features were typical for ships from the second half of the XVIII century, so I still work within boundaries The funny thing is : I have no idea what purpose they had. Moreover, in French they are called "Pattes d'Oie", I think. So here's already another bird involved (Oie = Goose). I wonder in Dutch...? So if anyone has an some info regarding the use of those crowsfeet : feel free to drop a message
-
Here's part 2 As mentioned in previous post, the model has no crowsfeet, but it's a nice detail and I like the contrast between the black masttops and the light color of the thread.
-
Crowsfeet ? I love them For the interested : the euphroe-blocks are made of styrene. Walnut was not an option I fixed 2 small sheets of 0,5 mmm and one of 0.25 mm in the middle : thas was (more or less) the suitable thickness. A needle and a pin to obtain the best possible alignment to fore the 0.8 mm holes The paint is from the Acrylico Vallejo-brand and the 311 colortype is until now the closest to wood, at least in my opinion, some more filing before assembly and that was that. Here's the pics (part I)

Hi Chris, the best of luck. Tackling perhaps the most impressive ship of WWII while using wood as base material must be quite a challenge. Looking forward to your progress

Thanks Mort & Jason for comments & and all likes, Jason : Caldercraft's Diana kit offers a lot of " improvement/adding your own interpretation" opportunities and you make such an awesome job of it ! For example : whenever I work on my model I always bear in my mind I should have remplaced the copper plates, just as you did. Related to the beer : I understand the artisanal beermarket in the US is subject to a huge improvement the last years, but that's another subject Hi Mort always good to hear from you : I sincerely hope your doing fine. Wanted to post the pics before going to sleep (yesterday-evening ) So the standing rigging was realised pretty forward according to building instructions. I've tried to understand and implement this as best as I could as everything related to naval vocabulary is already a vocabulary on itself and as a non native English speaker I can assure you I went through some trouble : Ray's explanative photo's ( see his Diana log ) were a tremendous help. Except the ratlines ( Gutermann ) I used what was supplied in the kit. While working on the tops and in a burst of masochism I decided to fore 1 mm holes in the 3 main tops as I wanted to add crowsfeet. ( The real Diana never had ) but I just like the sight of it although I have no clue - whatsover- their purpose was
