MESSIS Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share #97 Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) Hi everybody, If my english is correct, then I have just finished the gunwale and the bulwark. I believe gunwalle is the top part of the bulwark... there where a sailor could lean his hands and look over the sea the sun setting into the horizon.

MESSIS Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share #99 Posted July 27, 2019 The Galley is on the gun deck. Had to take her with a winch on the ship and then push her on rollers in position.

MESSIS Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share #102 Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) The roof of the galley is installed. Its a watertight copper panel, that was filled with water. Thee two copper ducts of the stove were passing through this cooling system, in order to keep the stove radiation as low as it was possible. I hope you can see the water...🦆.. I have poured in.Its a vallego scenery liquid. Edited July 30, 2019 by MESSIS GrandpaPhil, oneslim, RussR and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The copper of the galley cooling panel, went dark. It seems the cooper got the humidity of the vallejo scenic water. So a new panel was remade.

MESSIS Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share #111 Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Thank you very much... its the vallejo paints. "Helmsman", is it the wrong word for referring to the man on the wheel?

cog Posted August 21, 2019 Share #112 Posted August 21, 2019 Helmsman is good, but you don't need one without the sails if you are missing another form of propulsion.

MESSIS Posted September 6, 2019 Author Share #118 Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) @Louie da fly thank you Steven. Yes on the stern and also on the stem,in the lions hands. You must imagine, the scale is 1/89, so it was impossible to succeed more sharpness. The stem coat of arms is bigger, so its sharper than the one the lion holds.
