BALDER, Vlaardingen Herring Lugger from 1912, scratch build scale 1:50 Plate-On-Frame

When you first were showing the deck installed, I was rather disappointed to see so many beautiful below deck's details disappear from sight. Seeing your picture from the inside out however has gotten me over the initial disappointment: she looks marvelous.

As far as the mystery of the lashing of these hatches is concerned; it must have been a simple, robust process, not something gremlins could accomplish.

The ‘disappearance’ was also a moment in my mind and considered a partly decking like the Bluenose, Johan. A kind of ingrained way of working.
But I had watched the tying of the hatches from the beginning and always had a full view of the inside. Hadn't had to fill the holds completely with barrels. Only the front was enough. But they are now, as far as visible, in their original stacking manner.
