zappto Posted November 10, 2017 Author #31 Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) Thank you Scott! My work on the stern. I noticed it is best to paint taffrail side strips before placing on the ship, they are really hard to paint as they are so curved.

zappto Posted November 11, 2017 Author #32 Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) Started second layer hull planking. Does anyone knows if second layer plank edges near the gun holes should be painted in red or not? Now painted only inside metal parts. Few photos of my fun.

S.Coleman Posted November 12, 2017 #33 Posted November 12, 2017 I painted mine black but yes all of the insides of the gun ports are painted. After the second layer surrounds the ports go back over and touch up.

zappto Posted November 13, 2017 Author #35 Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) Thank you for likes Scott, Bill! I will finish gun holes painting, when i have them all done. Today i find out one thing, on the front of the ship sheerstrakes are different on the plans and the pictures of the ship. I am not sure which is correct, i tend to use the plan, because it line up more nicely. Few photos.

ken3335 Posted November 13, 2017 #36 Posted November 13, 2017 Hi Zappto, This is becoming an interesting log to follow. Some very clean, neat work going on here and it's showing great promise. Keep it up. Ken zappto, Old Collingwood and Robin Lous 3
amateur Posted November 13, 2017 #37 Posted November 13, 2017 The plan is correct, but due to the form of the bow, you'll notice that the planks will have a severe tendency to do what you see on the foto. There is one thing where the plan is not correct (actually, more, but this one is easy to correct): The hawseholes are one wale too low: the should give acces to the main gundeck, the way they are drawn now, ends up below the deck. Jan Old Collingwood, Robin Lous, Archi and 1 other 4
zappto Posted November 13, 2017 Author #38 Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) Thank you Ken, appreciate that. Thank you for the help Amateur!, i will use the plan then. I see your pictures shows hawseholes are in the correct hight. Drawings not always correct, i noticed on the kit. Already noticed that gun carriages must be placed before placing second deck, it was not mentioned in the instruction. I will keep working on the planking, long way to go.

amateur Posted November 13, 2017 #39 Posted November 13, 2017 btw The foto is from the book by Heinrich Winter, describing the model of a Dutch 80 guns ship. (model lost in the war...). Mamoli based its model on the book and the drawings that came with it. Jan zappto and Old Collingwood 2
zappto Posted November 14, 2017 Author #40 Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Thank you Jan, i just got book of R.Morton Nance. A lot of nice pictures there, i hope to use some i ideas. Now working on the back of the ship, placing ornaments, which necessary for planking. I dont know what do do with keel, its edge is not covered with wood, i might place some spare plank on it later.

S.Coleman Posted November 14, 2017 #41 Posted November 14, 2017 Looking great. I never angled my stern planks I wish I did. Kicking myself now! It looks great.

zappto Posted November 15, 2017 Author #43 Posted November 15, 2017 Thank you for your likes! Yes, it is getting heavy, hope will not brake my ship holder! I was wondering if it would be possible to make gun holes openings working, which could close and open. Kit provide simple plastic openings holders. Doing research on this.

She is looking really nice, with the inside bulwarks you could try red ocre as I beliieve it was a faily normal paint medium, perhaps you could try that, (Its the same color as inside my bulwarks on my build).
