Cuda1949 Posted March 24, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 24, 2019 Starting a new build The Golden Swan based om the 1588 English Galleon as pictured in Wolfram Zu Mondfeld book "Historic Ship Models" The hull is carved from sourwood. Usually I use Holly but wanted to try a different wood. The deck will be spit from the hull so the ship will be in two pieces so it can be placed in the bottle when done. I am building in between sessions with my Cutty Sark that I am also building.

Cuda1949 Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share #4 Posted March 29, 2019 A short update I have added both forward and rear decks painted the decks and drilled holes for the masts. The rear decks will come apart from the main hull so I can get the ship into a gallon bottle. Next step is adding the planking. I have decided to stain the planks a dark walnut. .

Cuda1949 Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted April 23, 2019 I have started to plank the hull and am working on a method to attach the planking to the upper deck where it separates for insertion in to the bottle. I also reworked the upper decks so the top deck is the only one that will be separated.
