A Dutch Fluyt in shell first, reconstructing the "Ghost ship" scale 1:36

[Peter Voogt]

Thx gents,

So half open it will be and the stack of jenga timbers will remain visible

First before starting the ceiling a second supportive deck clamp is added, according Witsen the same size as the main one but in the Samuel wreck it is slightly thinner and I opted for this also.

Now the deck clamp is fitted I start with the ceiling before nailing and tree nailing it all.
The floor ceiling should be equal to the floor plank thickness. In my case 3 Amsterdamse duimen or at scale 2,1 mm.
The first ceiling plank will be 5-6 Amsterdamse duimen from the keelsom "zaathout" this to create a space for the limber boards.

Plank by plank the floor ceiling is added.

A new chapter, building up the inside. It’s looking nice, Maarten.

This has got to be the coolest scratch build ever! Reverse engineered marine archeology.

Hi Peter,
Many thx, the reverse engineering from historical wrecks is a lot of fun and there is plenty data out there.

Very clever clamping system...

Put your scrap materials to a good use

Finally the inside although the cargo hold is rather simple on these ship.

Unfortunately I could build a fleet of fluyts from the discards of the SP alone ...

I see a new project arising on the horizon .
