Love those outside pics. She´s coming along really nice. Waiting on your next advancements. -
Well, as I promised, here are some pics. Hope to get to her as soon as possible - since this is what I did about a month ago. Here I was on a start to make side rails and all. On the original plans from AL, there is no planks on the inside, as no stanchions to hold everything up. As my feelings said it wasn´t possible, I searched some pictures to confirm and see that´s all necessary - AL has being putting some wrong in our world I would say. That´s all, for now. My main occupation now will be the doors to the cabin, since I want them to be functional. Already lost some time in that, since scale won´t help. Any ideas are always welcome ^^

Before this all happened, I worked a bit on my ship an she's quite different now. Thought I had some more pictures in here, but nope. Well, soon I'll bring more pics.

Sos, maybe in the future. For now just furnitures, after all, 3d printers are comming. Janet, nice doping on rudder, since they were made to be lifted from the Walter. That's something I'l do too. Ty Matti, i'm surely learning from the best, ty. Rubens, many thanks.

Raymond, Ty ^^. Don´t know if my ocupant will have a face, yet. It´s being designed as a diplomatic ship, on official state business around China´s neighbor´s, lol. Everyday a new challenge!! Ulises, u´r a sweetie. Come as u feel u should. My ship will be here. =**
-
Nicely done. Furniture, details and lamps. I´ll surelly follow!
-
Grant, thank u. ^^

Frank, u´r welcome. If not for the light, ppl would barely see something in there. After some thought I found myself lazy on letting my bed be the way it was. ^^ Popeye, I have already added the stanchions and cap rail. Kit´s instructions really passed over that and the ship as it´s shown, has this major failure to it. The beams are there, though - but I´ll have to modify them. No fore decks on plans and thanks for the tips. As I evolve in building these ships, more I come to the realization scratch is the way. Sam, never thought u doubted ^^. Only brought the info for I had it on hand. The candle use on ships is more an economic problem than fear for fire. Before 1500s candles were too expensive - wax candles, which were 20% brighter and lasted 2 times more than animal fat candles (the more common type used) were 4 times more expensive. Oil was abundant and so, had it´s price better placed for using on ships. Starting at the 16th century, wax candle fabrication technology improved and then, became popular. Many thanks for the compliment. ^^

In Wasa case and considering the hasty manner it was constructed - that couldn´t happen? I mean, canon´s carriages bigger than they should be?

Some more updates. Finished the cabin and closed it. As I study the AL plans, I wish they could be more acurate on their model - There are some issues with bullwarks stanchions, for there are none and I have to ask what holds the bullwarks in place? There are 2 platforms and nothing to hold them from below - even when they seem part of the deck, my instincts and knowledge say to me there should be some beams. Have found some problems with wood, too, since some of the them aren´t the same color they´r suposed to be - for that matter, I´m using my scrapbox. Cabin closed and planked. Still don´t know if I´ll let the wood be or if I paint it in the process - All indicates I should paint the wood, but my heart loves the wood alone. I´ll frame the windows on the outside, yet. Oh, yes, I remade the bed. It was a little rough. A night view from the deck. I´m still thinking if the rest of my lanterns should be functional. Maybe one or two.

Great job, Jesse! =D

Frank, thanks ^^ No problem in saying my technique. I used two coats of bitumen wax over sanded yelowish wood - The AL mukali wood seemed too clear to me, and something that needed some staining. Since I´m a wax fan, that´s what I used. Sanded, waxed, cleaned it with a rag, then waited for it to dry. Repeated the process to fill better gaps and holes. That´s it! Sam, Quinn, 1999 - Shipboarding Lighting: AD. 400 - 1900 Since I depict a ship from early Ming Dinasty, on the 15th century (well, that´s what I´m trying, at least), no candles.

Ty, ty, Popeye! Rich, thank u. ^^ Daniel, that´s the feel I want when someone look inside ^^. I know it can be really better, though - but that makes me go further!! =** Grácias, amigo Raymond! I´m giving my ship some hard times when it comes to put research into life. Have already changed that cabin a little bit, but I think it´s for the best. The bed got a lot more detailed, and desk have it´s own juice too. Now I´m struggling with my doors, so they can be functional. ^^ Sam, oil! Oil lamps were used in ships, mainly whale oil. ^^ Bindy, my many thanks. But your tenacity on redoing what was troubling you is my inspiration, too. Aside your jokes and good spirits, your work is serious and exciting - you make it be that way. ^^
-
Nice first try at carving, Matti. Last one shows up as the better, I would say. But that´s the way it is, usually. Waiting for your next pics!
-
Waiting on your next pics and idea, Jesse. As for the boat, wouldn´t be nicer to have it for show? I mean, take it hollowed and then tied but not fixed to the deck?
-
Beaultifull work, Max! Great pictures and I hope the sun comes soon, for your best pictures must be astounding. Loved to see her ready!! =D
-
Sam, after studying a thesis regarding lights on ships, came to the conclusion that candles weren´t used in those times, not in ships. I´m working on some small pieces to put on my desk, though - working with tin for that matter. ^^ Hey, Max. I worked with banks´ interior design, but east asia is my first shot!! After the cabin is closed, there´ll be 4 windows (2 on each side) and 2 doors to peer inside. Doors will be functional, so u can let it closed and open only to take a look inside from another angle. ^^
-
Sam, ty!! yep, that´s an operating lantern - led over there. The cabin will have some light when closed. ^^

Mark, they´re part of sutras on the grass style, copied from a caligrapher from the song dinasty on the Ming dinasty - That´s what would be found in most official buildings since during the Yuan and Ming dinasty the neo-confucionism was the ruling philosophy - and the explanation why the emperor and noble families were who they were. The two of them are parts of the heart sutra, one of the most important sutras for Buddhists.
-
Well, some more pictures - have been working on cabin to finally go back to other parts of the ship. Hope u like it. ^^
-
Olie, no gongs, plz!! =D
-
Big cheers, Max!! Gratz on your first wooden model and many, many more of them in your life (ours, who follow your logs, too ^^). Can´t wait for the photos u´ll take, as I know they´ll be just amazing. =***

Piet, thank you very much for the correction - As I never saw a sub shotting up, it would be very strange to see that happening. My bad!! ^^
