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

The floor is so good made by you. Only the colour is different (wet, light from sun) But the nails are in the same size, even the cracks are the same size.
It is all in the details, magnificent Peter.

It's with details like these that a model really comes alive, very nicely crafted (like always).

Thanks, Paul, Stephan, Johan, Grant and the others with the ‘likes’. Your posts, input, nice words, compliments, likes etc. still stimulates me to go on.

To determine the position of the other crib, I actually had to first make the hatch for the net hold. But that hatch consists of two interlocking parts. Here's a nice drawing from the Amsterdam archives:

Bottom left: the frame in blue and the hatch fits around in red.

Like every new part, it's a challenge to recreate this to scale. It's also a matter of 'simplification'.
So first, just a regular hatch. The example just behind the breeds crib:


With this as the result:

The hardwood frame around the deck opening. And at the bottom of the hatch, the frame that fits around the opening.

It fits again:

But... the hatch has become proportionally much too large. Back to the drawing board...

Second attempt, the frame around the opening was removed and the hatch reduced in size:

That's better. You can now also see the mitered deck planks around the opening.

It also looks better from above.
It's a good thing I didn't make all three lists at once.
