Vielen Dank für Ihre Motivation. 
 
@ KeithW: Ich schaue, ob ich noch Bilder von der Baubeginn haben. Ich habe von Linde Fenster gebaut. 
@ SawdustDave: Schön, dass Sie die Schnitzereien gefallen. Ich habe in der RW geschnitzt die erste Zeit. Die Grundlagen hat mir gezeigt, Willibald Meischl aus Österreich im deutschen Forum www.segelschiffsmodellbau.com. Er ist ein ausgezeichneter Modellbauer und Spezialist in der Royal Navy im 17. Jahrhundert. Und danach habe ich versucht, und versucht und versucht. 
 
In der RW habe ich weiter am Wochenende gebaut. Einige kleine Teile entstanden sind, aber überzeugen Sie sich.

Hello folks, 
 
now a few current impressions of the RW. The starboard side is now ready carved and the front part has been started. The next stages of construction, I will then set restored promptly. Now a lot of fun with the pictures.
 
And also look at the video channel of mine, there's also a film about the RW and other works of art.

Hello everybody,
 
now, after my two weeks sailing trip, I will show you the result of my work just before my holidays.
 
 
The foremast is assembled now. Some small details are still missing, but beside of this ...
First a small collection of the bigger parts, the mast consists of ...
 

 
 
And so it looks like, assembled together ...
 
 

 
 
here a feaw pictures from the lower mast with the extra platform for signal lamps ...
 

 

 

 
 
At the saling there are a few interesting parts:
through the bottom of the topgallant mast there is a diagonal incision through which there leads a steel cable which is fixed at the mast cap on both sides. By veering this cable, the topgallant mast can be let down. You can see this on the real ship in the following links.

In addition to the previous pictures, I had to correct the saling a bit, because the saling consists of a rounded part in front of it, where a opening is inside, up to the mast. Through this opening a big wooden block is pressed in order to fix the topgallant mast in position. Also to the right and left of the mast the wooden blocks fix the mast.
 

 
 
At top of the mast there is fixed a flagstaff, a bit to the side. Through the cap of the flagstaff are going 2x2 holes through which halyards for the flags run through. 
 

 
 
Now a few pictures from the upper mast. Within the topgallant mast there is also a pulley for the halyard of the topgallant yard. Directely below the saling there is another pulley for the halyard of the upper top sail yard. The halyard of the royal yard is lead through a block (which has alreade to be build) on the side of the top of the mast.
 

 

 
 
Now I can continue with the other masts.
 
Bye, Joachim

The next part ist the saling of the foremast. On the platform of the saling are jibs on both sides of boom mounted which serve to spread the backstays side. 
At the end of the boom two small rollers are mounted over which the backstays are performed. In the model, the rollers have a diameter of 1 mm. 
And so does it look:
 

 

 

 

 

 
 
So far for today
 
Bye, Joachim
 

Now it's to the mars of the foremast. 
At the front of the mars a radar system is housed, which is protected by a tubular structure (was a sh ... soldering), before that, hangs a position light. 
The attached at both sides on the Mars  there is a black metal bracket with three belaying pins for the uphauls of the top three yards. This is at the Amerigo somewhat different than other sailing ships in recent times.
 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
Bye, Joachim

Hi Greg, 
thanks a lot for your nice commen!
 
 
Hello everybody,
 
in the meantime, the mast spars are cut, even ground for the foremast, also still made some blanks. 
Then soldered together a few parts. 
 

 

 

 
 
Halfway up the lower mast there is fixed a platform for large signal lamps. 
 

 
 
Then I build a mount which is attached to the lower mast and to be hooked onto the large hooks. In these 
large hooks are later suspended the excess cloth from the pin rails in large loops. 
 
For the production, there was a bit of soldering for the holder and a small auxiliary structure for the hook.
 

 

 

 
 
Bye Joachim

I have spend some spare time on the Bounty,
 
All the Frames are installed now, followed by the Transom wing.
I think it will be better to start fairing the hull before moving on to the transom parts to prevent damage as the parts are very fragile.
So, next is to copy the Body lines from the planes and prepare some templates for the sanding party.
 
 
 
 

Back home for 2 weeks so progress on Pegasus will continue.
 
Well the tricky bollard timbers have been completed and installed, making the notches for the bowsprit chock was fun, also the first cant frames have now been properly installed in preparation for the hawse timbers.
And a small matter of the bowsprit chock!
 
Ben

Thanks for all the likes and comments.
 
Started on Hawse timbers!

The brick platform for the stove has been completed.
 
I decided to create a base for the (individual) bricks inside the coaming.  The base is 1/32" balsa sheet, painted grey:
 

 

 
3/32 x 1/32" planks were then painted two colors and cut into 'bricks' as seen below:
 

 
The ends of the faux bricks were touched up and then laid individually:
 

 
It's not perfect,  but I'm pleased.  About 60% of the platform will be covered by the stove itself.
 
Next on the agenda is the checkerboard floor for the Great Cabin....as per Ben's 'suggestion'.  Though this may require Divine Intervention, I'll give it a shot.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Hi Shipmates.
Thanks for the comments and the likes.
Decided to try something new.. Cutting the outer planks some 48 each side of the hull.
 
Started by glueing the black card onto the face of the Cherry timber.

 

 
Timber now cut with the card already glued onto one edge ready to plank.

 
A close up of the result.

 
Found some moulding in my local dolls house. Quality is very good.

 
made up the decoration to match the mouldings.

 
Just adding a few bits to the quarter deck.

 
 
Made up most of the furniture for the quarterdeck.
Going to start planking the outer /lower hull this week.
 
Thanks for looking in.
Regards Antony.

Hi all,
the last half Frames are roughly shaped and dry fitted to the hull structure.
 
Next is to adjust and glue them before moving on to the transom parts.
 
I wish a happy Easter weekend to all of you!
 
 

Thank you guys for your nice commends and the Likes.
 
@Klimi
No Pavel, I will close the hull with full planking and coppering, I'am thinking about exposing the lower deck through the upper deck planking.
 
 
While shaping the hawse pieces I have started to draw the modifications on the rear Frames.
First I have transfered the bearding line, calculated from the AotS book to the Master Frame plan and each Frame drawing plus the Position of the whale.
Next I will just reduce the outside shape of the Frames by the plank thickness steady beginning at the bottom of the whale to the bearding line. 
 
 

Hi all,
 
the keel has been glued to the structure and the stem half Frames are installed.
 
Before I move on to the modification of the Stern and Transom Frames I will prepare the Hawse pieces.
 
 
 

Thanks for the Likes!
 
The new Backbone is ready, beside the Modification on the after Deadwood I have cut the Stem Rabbet, tapered the head of the Knee and glued together all the parts.

Well, I think I have figured out something what should work.
 
A close comparison of the Hahn plans by the AotS Body lines of the Bounty pointed out that Hahn has drawn the rear Framework to the overall  size including the Planking. It seems he started to increase the Cant Frames from the bottom of the whale towards the sternpost and keel to meet the rabbet.
 
So, I need to reduce the width of Frame 29 - 35 plus the transom wings by the plank thickness for a true and nice run of the Planks into the rabbet.
The Pictures already show a modified deadwood, the thickness of the deadwood is reduced to meet the rabbet.
 
Here we go, making sawdust to see am I right!
 
 
 
 
 
 

Hi all,
after a break due to several different reason the new Stem and head of the knee from pear is ready.
 
To simulate the caulking I did some Research on different sorts of black paper.
Finally I ended up with the black paper supplied in the Caldercraft kit of my Endeavour. I find it the best result for the strenght of the Joints and thickness.
The paper is 0.18mm thick, converted to real size it makes a caulking of 9mm (11/32") between the Joints what I think is very realistic.
 

The whole Frames are adjusted and glued on now.
The keel is still only dry fitted to the construction as I have to cut the rabbet before glueing. To make the keel fit, I chiseled off the spacers between the Frames as again the lasercut was not very accurate. Anyway, due to the use of the scrap wood spacers the structure is solid enough without this.
 
It is good to see the hull slowly taking shape!
Next is to prepare the rest of the half Frame Patterns, same way as before.

Most of the whole Frames are sanded and prepared.
I started to errect and glue them to the building board. To receive a nice and strait construction I'am using a very thin string line running down the Center of the building jig with a plumb line fixed temporalily to the Center of each keel Slot in the Frames when glueing.
To have more rigidity in the structure I'am adding some scrap pieces between the Frames.
