It‘s a pleasure to seeanew update of your ship. Very well done.

Finally a small update, not too much time for the hobby lately.
For the orlop coaming I made closed hatches.
The main hatch I splitted in two with a removable ledge in the middle to support the covers.


Next is the nailing of the planks and adding the rings to lift them.




The fwd hatch cover is a single piece.


Now working on the ladders in the holds.



And a brief overview.

Hi Paul,

Yes this I did with my small proxxon mill. I use a plank with a small pin in it.
Position the pin partly under the mill so if I put the plank under it it just cuts away the 1,3 mm width I need.
Then I adjust the mill at the proper height. Turn on the mill and push the planks underneath it.
All your slots are the same, even in curved planks. This methode works very fast.

Dear Maarten,

I ready your articels today for the secend time and I do have got a typical beginners' question for Durch shipbuilding:
Are these rules the same in use for the build of a warship? Or is the change frome pine to oak a complete gamechanger?

Thanks a lot, Chris

 

[Maarten]

Hi Chris,

These rules are the same for a warship as they are used for shipbuilding in general. As the size of the parts are related to proportions, and the size of a bigger warship will be larger, the individual parts will be bigger.
