All cannons and swivel guns are now mounted in the aft fort, so the aft deck can be relocated. Next, we move on to the forefort.
-
It is currently 5 3/4 inches or just under 15 cm.
-
The first 18 guns in the aft fort have been mounted. Five stern guns are still missing.

The armorer has started work Forged from cigarette rolling paper.

I have the same thing coming up, only 5 times smaller....
-
Many small decks need to be installed! You can see inside from many places. Before the upper decks are glued on, I still have to fit the heavier guns. Once the interior work is complete, I'll continue outside...
-
Thank you very much for the likes everyone. @Snug Harbor JohnnyYes, I could. But next I should maybe make a better version of the Brueghel.😂
-
Oh yes, it will indeed be set on a sea. I wasn't thinking of an Icarus, though.
-
The planking of the hull is complete.
-
The bulwarks are installed, as is the front bulkhead of the aft castle. The bulkhead of the forecastle will have to wait a bit longer, as some of the interior still needs to be added. Still missing are the lower planking on the hull and the uppermost decks of the castles, as well as the whales. It's turning out quite nice and already shows significant differences from the painting, especially in the shape of the lower bow. I'm looking forward to the rigging. Hopefully, I'll be able to capture the character of the sails. (Although the depiction of the mizzen seems illogical to me.) Best regards, Alvb
-
In my analysis of the painting, it has become increasingly clear that while the depiction appears to be perspectively correct, it is not. The optical foreshortening and the vanishing point perspective, as well as the perspective of the bow and the stern, cannot be reconciled.

Hello everyone, As already mentioned in the other thread, I've started building a Breughelche carrack. The hull is slowly taking shape. (I'm afraid it doesn't have much in common with the original anymore... never mind.) Greetings Alvb
-
However, the Anthony drawing shows a completely different design for the bulkhead. Arches or arcades instead of diagonal stripes. What is the reason for your design?

Iberian (Basque) Atlantic Whaler ca. 1550 — as, dos, tres…
Alvb replied to Waldemar's topic in Nautical/Naval History
Ok, you explain your passage, which I don't quite understand, with this very passage. Not very helpful, don't you think? -
Iberian (Basque) Atlantic Whaler ca. 1550 — as, dos, tres…
Alvb replied to Waldemar's topic in Nautical/Naval History
Am I misunderstanding something? As, dos, tres doesn't sound like a long ship to me. -
I agree with that. A narrow, steep ladder far forward would be conceivable. In a very confined space with a narrow staircase, boarding parties would have difficulty storming the fort. One after the other they could be repelled from above. Thus, the narrowness would be strategically advantageous.

Off topic: lupus est homo homini, non homo, quom qualis sit non novit

Just as well, the "painter" could have been standing on tiptoe (his towering right shoulder, his whole posture looked like that to me) and the guy on the ladder could have climbed up something. It all remains speculative.

It took a long time to find a suitable home for her. But this afternoon she was finally able to move in.

Dear Ab Hoving, As you know, taking perfection to the extreme, despite all admiration for the craftsmanship, often leads to rigidity and lifelessness. Filling an object with life is artistic virtuosity! I would never want to call that a lack. I am excited to see how the plastic Speel-jaagt behaves under sail. Best wishes Alvb
-
Dear Ab Hoving, I admire your models, they are extremely lively precisely because they are not aimed at extreme precision or accuracy. my respect, Alvb
-
Oh, I meant results from the latest archaeological findings. Until then, I'll enjoy your construction at its own pace.
-
OK, when can I expect the first results for the foreship?🤔
