It's looking like you have that rake on the mizzen in the ballpark. Poof ------ a SHIP!
Good work!

with the exception of the bow spirit......the masts were dry fitted on the ship. they stood up proud, without too much prodding.......so I was able to get these pictures. why waste the moment!

with the fore and main masts somewhat completed, I looked at getting the mizzen mast squared away.
once the correct dowel was chosen for it, the adjustment of the rake, was the next step. using the bottom hole as the pivot, sanding at the front of the upper deck hole took place. there is a mast collar for the main and upper deck holes.....they were stained at this time.
I noticed that the main deck collar was a little lighter than the upper one.......I just ran a Q-tip with some mahogany stain over it, to darken it up. after the collars were cemented in place, a little more sanding needed to take place, for the mast to fit through.
a little more sanding was done......still needed a bit more. I got it to about 1mm, and will leave it as is.....as mentioned, if I go any more, it will be out of alignment with the main mast.
to sand out the mast hole, sand paper was cemented to smaller diameter dowels
the rest of the mast was assembled......the cross tree and upper section of the masting.

oh......it was so nice to work only in my smock again {actually it's a button - down shirt, but I have a habit of wiping my hands, and the mouth of the paint bottles on it}. I'm not a sloppy person.......I just look 'lived in' :D !
I made some good progress......the mast steps have been assembled. they still need to be sanded and cleaned up.......stained and {or} painted. I also took care of the Mizzen mast......it's not perfect, but if I went any further, the darn thing would be perpendicular to the deck.......and that just would NOT do
I started to assemble the fore mast......I have already whittled down the top part of the second section for the cross tree and cap for the final section.
how I whittled the top part down, was to score around the dowel with miter box and saw, and then shave it using an x-actor knife.
I took those photos, while I was assembling the main mast.

Nice planking Sjors, those stern planks look like they all have to sweep upwards . , I'm sure you'll get this to work, as for the cannons, you sure you're not getting ready for battle??

the good news it you saw the issue before you glued it in and moved on! You can overcome this, I am sure, with patience and some Oude jenever you can conjure up the proper solution!
Those cannon are impressive, but that sounds like a lot of rigging work!!!

Ben, thanks for the comments and for looking in. All three ship's boats are hung and griped. These last pictures are of the yawl in it's proper spot. At this point, I'm going to call this build completed. Give me a day or two and I'll have the full fledged completion pictures posted to the proper spot and this log. Thanks to all for the support and comments. Next up... The Model Shipways 1/76 Constitution.

Sjors got a reaction from maddog33 in HMS Agamemnon by Sjors - FINISHED - Caldercraft/Jotika - 1:64
And when i was looking how the glue dry I have make the gun carriages.
Now I have to drill more then 250 holes for the eyebolts and paint everything......
I'm happy that I have a power drill and not doing it with a hand drill
On the left side you will see the 18 pounds cannons and on the right side the 9 pounds cannons .

Planking still keep on going.
I wanted to put a plank on the stern with the strange bend.
That is not working !
As you can see in the picture, the plank was destroyed........
So I have to remove that and try something else.
So I started at the keel and work my way up.
When I'm on that point again I can see what I have to do.

@ Popeye,
That's a nice thought......planking at day time and rigging by night time.
And witch hours I have to work ?
I wish they have make 48 hours in one day.....
@ John,
I just like working with Proxxon !
And when do you going further on the build ?
I want to say a few oh and ah's .......
@ Sam,
Take your time with it !
Even you can not read everything at once, it will be available on the forum !
The only thing is you have to read a little more.
But then you have more !!!!!!!!!

Thanks All !
@ Chris,
That's a real beauty you have over there !
I can see how the planks go ,so i'll give it a try. Thanks !!!!!!
@ Augie,
Thanks also
And you are talking about one canon ????????
I thought there where a few more .....
@ Grant,
I understand why you want to see the canons rigged......
Then i can use the 2 mm blocks that I got from you
But that takes a while.
First the stern !
Love those problems.......
@ Popeye,
You have a lot of confidence in me.....
I will place filler blocks but also keeping planking from bottom to top.
At the end everything will come together !
And also everyone who Likes it, Thank you !!!!!!!

Sjors reacted to popeye the sailor in HMS Agamemnon by Sjors - FINISHED - Caldercraft/Jotika - 1:64
I'm not that familiar with this type of hull Sjors.......filler blocks would definitely help you out here. I wonder if it might be a benefit if you continued this planking from the keel up? I see lots of plank bending in your future.....you'll master it, I'm sure of that! the cannons look really good....they're going to be some mean looking 'barkers' when you get them finished.

Very nice start on the lower hull planking my friend. And the canon look terrific. Sorry about the stern --- hopefully the fillers will help out.

You've got a very nice smooth run for the planking Sjors, looks great. At the stern I wonder if you think you will use a filler block for the awkward angle? Hope you have a lot of fun with the cannons, you can put a lot of detail on those.

Hi Sjors, I have been following your build of this model with interest as I made the same kit some years ago and I am impressed with your work so far.
I note that you you are having trouble with the stern so I thought you'd like to see a photo of my attempt at this area, I hope it helps you.
