amateur Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share #124 Posted September 2, 2019 Just coincidence and lazyness. the local shop sells 400grams card (way to thick), 150 grams with a very visible structure in it, and 120 grams in packages of 250 sheets (way to much) So I took a sheet of white, cut two strips, ran a black marker along it. Took me less time than going to big city nearby Jan Old Collingwood, Piet, dafi and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piet Posted September 2, 2019 Share #125 Posted September 2, 2019 Looking good Jan and a smart move too - - - closed. On the other hand . . . . . when ship is in port for some work the lids could be open for some fresh air below deck with guns run in. But that would require a lot of extra work on your part. Maybe a few then? 😉 Cheers, Piet. cog 1 Quote Piet, The Flying Dutchman. "Your greatest asset is not the quantity of your friends , rather the quality of your friends."

amateur Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share #126 Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) Hi Piet, I considered that, but there is nithong behind the ports, apart from that ugly U-shaped piece of black painted wood, and in some cases: just plywood of the bulkheads. Nothing of interest, so not drawing attention to it by showing an open port. Jan Edited September 3, 2019 by amateur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amateur Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share #128 Posted September 7, 2019 Today I started the rings on the lids. Fiddly stuff (too fiddly for my fingers and my tools: carpet monster took abot half of them ) and fitted on my test-port lid. Outer diameter of the ring ist about 2 mm. Actually, these are adapted 3mm rings that I found a long time ago on a webshop long gone. Jan Piet, J11, GrandpaPhil and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share #129 Posted October 12, 2019 The carpetmonster took one more than he was allowed to. one portlid to go on this side. The others are done. I'm pleased with the looks of it. not the best of pics (iphone with flash on short distance in an otherwise dark room), but you get the general idea. I wonder how long it will take for the portlids to blend in with the planking of the hull. This wallnut is changing colour as a result of daylight-exposure. But as I like the lighter version better than the original darker one, I don't complain.

flying_dutchman2 Posted October 15, 2019 Share #131 Posted October 15, 2019 Jan, Beautiful build. The rigging is excellent. Love the ship with all its colors and following Ketting over Corel is a smart move. Looking forward to your progress on the PW.

amateur Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share #132 Posted October 12, 2020 Wow, didn’t do anything for over a year. Didn’t realize that it was that long. Must be the longest (intime) more or less running buildlog in MSW. Anyway: did some work on the port-side gunport lids.

amateur Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share #136 Posted November 7, 2020 No, just too many things at the same time..... And as that is more or less a structural 'problem' these projects all go very, very slowly. All projects (card) that got some attention this summer: only the birds got finished 'in one go'.

amateur Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share #138 Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Believe it or not, but today, exactly (almost :)) 20 years to the day I started, the hull is finally closed. All gunport lids have been installed. now there remains the lanterns, four anchors and their cables, and two anchor buoys.
