Indeed Herman. Our hobby requires lots of patience and with a model like the 7P, you will require dollops of it. However, it will all pay off in the end with something you can be immensely proud of. Each time I see someone build the 7P I get this strange hankering to just close my eyes and order a kit from Hans. So far, sanity has prevailed though!

All parts of the waterways are now provided with scarfed joints and shown dry-fitted on the model.
Still dry-fitted as they will have to be equipped with scuppers, the next step.

Impressive craftsmanship Herman!

Thank you all for visiting my build log and your likes and comments.

I am now working on the scuppers in the waterways.



And provisionally positioned on the model. I placed a plank on top of the waterways to simulate the future shadowed view of the inside of the scuppers.

Herrmann this looks really fine, excellent and clean woodwork.

 

[Uwek]

Very good execution -> Looking very good

 

[Hubac’s Historian]

Super clean and beautifully rendered. So good, in fact, that it reminds me of your inspiration - Drazen.

That are nicely shaped waterways, Herman. And the deckwater can flow away through those scuppers. Nice details!

Thank you Marc. That is a great compliment. The cleaness he is able to reach sometimes leans against the supernatural.
I am not following him to the letter, but am grateful I can use his building log as a guide to the sequence of building and as a continuing source of inspiration.

A small piece of art Herman, very nicely done.

 

[Steef66]

You're a brave man. This could be go wrong and break. But you nailed it. Well done.

The width of the scuppers is only about 6 mm, the remaining piece of wood above the scuppers only 1, so a bit fragile.
I had 1 piece of the waterway that fell on the floor while filing and our dog came rushing in to "help". Lucky I could pick it up just in time.

 

[NMBROOK]

Great work Herman, it is all these little details that add up to something really special

Kind Regards

Herrmann, I know that, you have to be quick when our four-legged friends are in the workshop.

And the model is heavy enough to be cat-proof for now. That will change when I start rigging, but there s still a long way to go before I reach that point.

 

[archjofo]

Fine work, i like it.

 

[Herman]

The waterways are ready and have been installed on the model.



The placing of the scuppers is not in accordance with the drawings of Otte Blom. If I had followed his deck layout the scuppers would have been (partly) right above the gunports on the lower deck. I think that is unlikely, so I have placed them directly under the gunports on this deck, and thus placed in the middle of the gunports on the lower deck.







Panorama-picture, a bit wobbly (no steady hand), but gives an overview of the layout of this deck.
