Sorry, it looks I made a mistake. It's marked as 72a (not 107e). It's on this sheet (left upper corner) Tomek

It will certainly be easier to build the entire bulkhead outside the model, but consider part 87P/Lb, which is to be glued on the inside at the very front near the front deck. You'll probably have to trim it a bit. But I guess that shouldn't be a problem. Tomek

Hello @Bonden. It gives me satisfaction and honor that you work on my model. I will always be happy to help and advise. The instructions are Figure 50. Parts 116 (with additional markings) are in four places, as in the screenshots below. The pleasure is all mine Tomek

Thank you Uwe and Ab for motivation. It took a long time to finish the hull, but it can finally be presented. In accordance with period drawings, I applied thick nails (glue and paint) on the wales, and attached two pairs of reinforcements to the stem. All the finishing touches and modest...

Hello colleagues Many modeler friends said to me that it would be nice to assemble a sailing ship, but rigging is generally too difficult. Therefore, a few years ago I asked Ab Hoving for an idea for a simple model with the simplest possible rigging, and I didn't have to wait long (2-3 hours)...

Thank you for comments. @Hubac's Historian@ For the first time I used printed sails, which I add to my models at my e-shop. Yes, it's strange I've been selling something I've never used, but most of the time I build test models, so sails are test, too. Then, when all is correct I order printed...

Hi everybody, yes, many months have passed since the last update, but I finally have something to be proud of - last night I raised the last flag and today I can show the completed model of the flagship "De Zeven Provincien". Thanks again to Ab Hoving, who constantly supported me, advised me and...

Happy Birthday, Ab. Best wishes Tomek

Loks great! Congratulations!

Hello, it's high time to show what's new in the "Seahorse" shipyard, because the report of the construction of "Seven Provinces" has already bored everyone. I will start with a few "reservations", because this report was not supposed to exist at all. The model was designed by Tomasz Król and...

Hello, I can't believe it's been so long since the last update. Publication of the model, health, a lot of work and many other reasons could excuse me, but that's not why we are here on the forum. I have put up all the masts and I think you can say that the standing rigging is ready. Most...

Thank you colleagues for the warm feedback. @Chris@ On the one hand, rescaling the cardboard model is not a problem. Many modelers do this: one of a few women (I know) at a master's level transforms all models into 1: 300 - 1: 400 and makes small masterpieces. Others zoom in from A4 to A3 and...

Hi everyone, thanks for comments. I'm glad you like the model (as a builder, I know all the stumbles and mistakes, but I like the general view as well). Some time has passed since the last update, but it was not time wasted because I can announce that I have finished working on the hull of "De...

I agree with every word you say. They should be tied with ropes, as shown in the pictures you enclose. I made such attempts, but the effect was disgusting, because either the 1: 100 scale has its limitations or my skills have even greater limitations:). I gave up because I want building sailing...

Thank you for appreciating. @tomsimon@ The decks are more darker then pictures show: Tomek

Hi friends I must admit that I am not building the model at a dizzying pace, mainly because of the limited time and more and more details that need to be prepared and thought over. It took me a long time to make various attempts (mostly unsuccessful) to prepare the sculptures on the stern in the...

After a long break, presentation of the second and third issues from our "Seahorse" publishing house (Wydawnictwo Seahorse) "Sao Gabriel of Vasco da Gama" No. 2. ...sample pages... Available accessories: laser-cut frames, laser-cut first layer of planking, sails printed on a thin cotton...

Hello, The barge is finally built. The model is simple, so it's hard to write elaborates on how I glued individual parts. Since my works are mainly test models, I decided to make a slight distortion and half of the ship goes to Gdańsk with grain, and the other half goes back up the Vistula...

Hello Good question :-) From what I read, a capstans or a windlass were not always present on such small units. The space on the deck was precious and it happened that the wihdlass was not there. For example, C.A.Feldman shows this issue in his study in "Modeling an Armed Virginia Sloop of...

Hello Perhaps some of you are waiting for progress in the construction of the "7 Provinces", and suddenly a new topic. Unfortunately, I am waiting for the cooperators until they meet what they promised for the "7 Provinces", so I decided to rest for a while and started something simpler (but not...
