Beautiful work, Ondras!

[Ondras71]

Thank you very much Louie da fly..

 

I continue laying planks between gun ports, but it's very slow..

 

 

 

I received brass material ordered from http://www.litomysky.cz/mat/mso.htm  I ordered a 0.2 mm sheet, tubes ranging from 0.3 to 1 mm and wires from 0.2 to 1 mm. Material is great..

 

 

The first door hinges are made..

 

 

 

 

[Ondras71]

I put the gunports on the left, the left is working ..

Well done Ondras.

 

 

[Ondras71]

Thank you very much Hubac s Histian a Backer..

 

I made a bowsprit..

 

The first door on the rear wall is fitted to the already used wax.. O.

 

 

[Ondras71]

Small shift. I raised bases of the hips made of overlayed 2 and 1 mm spruce planks. The top edge of the railing has been drawn, polished and painted with adhesive for reliable attachment of the outer planks..

Mirror doors lined with planks...

 

 

and pins placed..

 

 

[Ondras71]

Work on the front wall ..

 

 

 

Window and door in wax ..

 

 

[Ondras71]

Doors were provided with 0.5 mm nails, 0.4 mm for the windows. They're also waxed ..

 

I planked the front wall and placed windows and doors on it ..

 

I wonder, if I should place pins or nails in the front wall aswell..

 

In addition, I'm preparing to drill holes for the big nails on the wales, they're on the plan but, after a closer look, in the wrong distance..

 

Of course I am placing the nails (studs) into the ribs, clear logic .. O.

Lower deck drainage. The De Zeven Provincien reconstruction from 1665 has the drainage well portrayed.. 

 

I had already drilled the drain slope a long time ago..

 

 

 

 

The first one...

Very neatly made Ondras.

For you and everyone that follows also a happy 2019

[Ondras71]

Thank you, Backer

 

Treenails on the front wall.. O.

 

 

 

[Ondras71]

I found out, that the plank gaps are too wide. I therefore removed the deck and I'm going to use a thinner paper (0.09 mm). It is better to redo it now, than to end up having to tear down multiple decks made the wrong way. 

 

 

[Ondras71]

The deck, repaired, now looks more realistic..👌

 

As a reminder, here is the old version..

 

[Ondras71]

A bow deck bordered by planks ..

Have added another strip of planks on the side ..

Removed mounting ribs of the main deck ..

 

 

Grinded the sides from the inside and measured the gunports of the main decks..  O.

 

[Ondras71]

Carved upper gunports. Frames lined with cherries ..

 

[Ondras71]

The deck is already in shape..

 

 

I decided to place square drains on the top deck. There are none in the plan, but all ships had them. Preparing the lath...

 

I studied the cannons: The ones in the plan look older..😳

 

At the end of the 16th century, cast cannons were already used. I've found a current build of a same age replica of Barents' ship from 1595, which already had cast cannons with a carriage with only front wheels. The build is based on archaeological findings of wrecks..

A video of awreck of aSwedish ship Mars sunk in 1564, also with cast gun barrels.. 

 

Regarding Roter Lowe (1597) there isn't much to be found, I've only found this on Wikipedia.. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roter_Löwe_(Schiff,_1597

 

As to all the plans in the "Risse von Schiffen des 16./17. Jahrhunderts" book, I've read somewhere that these aren't very good reconstructions..

Ondras,

 

interesting info is on these 2 pdf files.

And there is a detailed drawing of a carriage with 3 wheels.

"Risse von Schiffen des 16./17. Jahrhunderts"  is a very interesting book. But do not ask for detailed plans about ships from the 16th century.
They simply do not exist.

 

Dont do    you are building a beautiful model 

[Ondras71]

Greetings Backer and thank you for the information, I will definitely use it..🔎

I placed the drain on the left side and added wales..  O.
