Hello everyone.

 

Hereby I will restart my build of the Hohenzollern model by the plans/book of Heinrich Winter.

The project was started late 2009 based upon the plans of the Mamoli-Friesland kit but I changed

over to Winter's one. 

 

Jack is the name, The Netherlands my homecountry.

 

I will not post updates from the past, I start with new pics the way she is now.

(for those interested in the start of the project I can give a link to a Dutch forum if you like)

 

 

The latest update from the stern, not the easiest part

Struggling with the moveable windows, I just can't get it right. The windows are too heavy in my opinion.

Alternatively I decided to close the 2 center windows en let the outside windows just open. (this is what Dik (7-prov) also assumes.

I'm still not sure if I leave it this way but I have to go on with the 'Kajuit'

Still a lot of work to be done.

Thanks Matti.

Tjerk ordered himself a package from a well known 17th century furniture shop, that will keep him busy for a few hours:

I'm proud of him, he even used all of the screws.... (or they ended up at the bottom of the sea :P )

Leaded glass windows are difficult to imitate. My solution was to take thin acrylic sheet and score it with a sharp knife for the lead cames. I then rubbed dark grey acrylic paint into the scores. The result is shown here.

That's another good way to imitate, I have also a tip from Michiel to print the lead on a

tranparant sheet with a laserprinter and I think that is the easiest way to do it.

 

But your methode looks great as well.

 

Cheers,

I didn't want the captain to stare at his maps in the dark, so I brought him some lights

And finaly, I decided to make this piece (don't know the English word for it) which is absent in Winter's model.

But, I didn't like the open version.

I will keep you up to date more often, that's a promise...
