  1. Hey, I think I've found the problem. I enter texts on my PC and pictures on my mobile phone. and I never paid attention to it on my mobile phone, but when editing, the translated text appears, which I then fatally edit unintentionally. Ha, puzzle solved
  2. Hello lovelies, a short interim report on the second planking. As feared, this is proving somewhat difficult. These fibre strips for the first planking are super easy to bend and sand. But unfortunately you can't really get nails or screws into them. So you can only really adjust the mouldings properly where there are frames behind them. The next problem is the age of the nut mouldings. As you remember, the kit is almost 40 years old. They are surprisingly easy to bend, but unfortunately a quick bump with any tool is enough to cause the edges to break out unattractively. Patience is once again the order of the day here. Best regards in the hope that the translator works properly. To be more precise, the input. For some reason, everything is transmitted in German although I enter in English.

  3. Guten Morgen zusammen! Ich beginne mit der zweiten Beplankung, wie Corel sie mit dem Rindenholz vorgesehen hat. Ich habe mir die Mühe gemacht, eine Hilfsleiste anzubringen. Das ist sehr hilfreich, um die erste Leiste präzise anzubringen. Außerdem habe ich beschlossen, die Hölzer, die für diesen Bau am Rumpf gebogen werden müssen, zu formen. Das ist zwar mühsam, aber ich denke, es macht im dreidimensionalen Raum Sinn, besonders mit den zwei Millimeter dicken Latten. Geduld ist ein Schlüsselwort in unserem Hobby.

  4. Hello everyone, The first planking is finished, apart from a few minor details. These fiberboards are quite easy to work with. Unfortunately, they don't have the density of real wood. I've often thought about using real wood. Unfortunately, the nails don't hold properly, which could be detrimental to the subsequent planking. The initial adjustment of the half-guns looks good. The bulkheads still need to be removed where they protrude longer. In the center of the hull, you can see the simple tool for aligning the hole. As usual, everything was done with a scalpel and file. Contrary to the instructions, I have already attached the substructure of the transom. According to the plans and photos I found, the side panels are flush with the hull planking. Logically, however, this is no longer possible after the second planking. In the few existing construction logs, this was then compensated for by adding a side molding, which, however, loses the rounded hull shape. I hope I can do without this bar. Have fun and join us.

  5. So, hier ist sie nun. Vielen Dank an alle, die es angeschaut und mit einem Daumen hoch bewertet haben. Besonders an den lieben Bob, klopf klopf. Machs gut
  6. That's a good question Mikki, for now I will continue working on the Victory. However, after inspecting the display case in which the good piece will be placed here, I came up with a number of plans. A replica of the Mercador Atlas from 1596 will be used to present this ship. Neither of these will fill the display case. So the idea arose to build the Revenge offered by the same manufacturer. According to Wikipedia, these two ships are said to have met at the Battle of Graveline in August 1588. But it will probably take a while, the Admiralty has presented a list of work to be done on the house and yard this year. Greetings Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
  7. Well my Friends, it's done. Better Pictures next Days.
