I would follow your interpretation for the ladder, Uwe
HMS GRANADO - full hull - POF kit by CAF in 1:48 - by Uwe
for everybody interested in this kit
check the web-page of @CAFmodel - the Part III is now once more available for orders
according the listing 10 kits of Part III are available

Yesterday I was also able to finalize my kit review with the third part
Kit review - HMS GRANADO (1742) - POF in scale 1:48 by CAF model
Looking at the CAF-Model homepage, it looks as if part 3 is now available (however, only one in stock). Tom told me short time ago, that he is working on the content of Part III, so in short time he can send these kits to customers.

Due to the fact, that I still do not decide what and how I will do the fore platform,
I moved to the aft platform - maybe here the decision process is easier
These are the related drawings and sketches shown in Goodwins Anatomy book
We have also some close up photos of the already mentioned superb model
CAF prepared some templates which have to be fixed in correct slots of the temporary bukhead templates which were already used in the past for the correct height of the clamps - so multi-use of them
Here you can see the small beams for the platform laying on the two templates - with this you can easily define the correct location in longitudinal direction (fore - aft) and also the correct height
Here you can see one of the platforms already fixed on the beams
under the platform in the hold are two small storage rooms - later on the platform with the attached walls have to be turned upside down
I wish you all a nice weekend .... and many thanks for the interest in my building log ..... to be continued .....

Sorry Uwe, are these two details removed?Due to the fact, that I still do not decide what and how I will do the fore platform,
I moved to the aft platform - maybe here the decision process is easier

Looks very good, Uwe.
Yes - these are some temporary plywood templates to define the correct height of the platform

Thanks for answering me
Hallo friends,
first of all many thanks to all comments and all the likes received - much appreciated
Some smaller progress to show
One sleeper was partly hanging in the air, so I added one small part of an additional inner plank with treenailing (lighter wood) and also some smaller "plank-segments" where later on the beams of the platform are founded - in my opinion it is looking better or technical more correct
the two small platforms - here a ladder was also prepared
here with a template for the bulkhead wall in order to check or adjust the form
this bulkhead template is used to prepare the final wall with the single boards
the final result
Many Thanks for the interest in my work .... to be continued .....

a next small step with two bigger steps
The mast steps were prepared and "bolted" (according the pattern shown in Goodwins book)
the second one - still dry fitted, the correct location will be defined later on
In the meantime I installed also the 3mm thick main clamps for the deck beams - unfortunately I forgot to make some photos, but partly it was already shown in earlier posts.
These clamps received also the square bolts
with the final installed clamps I had the chance to dryfit the main deck beams and made a first test with the mast-stumps
btw: the wooden elements with the mast holes, installed between two beams are once more templates included in the kit - with them, an angle of 2° of the mast, the correct location of the mast-steps will be defined

Always so impressive Uwe!
I love the way those clinch bolts look, great job! Great idea, mon ami!
Good morning Uwek. Your build is on another level- I don’t think I would ever get there. I have huge admiration for you guys who build like this. Cheers Grant
Step by step it is getting closer to the decision how, when and where I have to cut my ships hull horizontal to get the two segments
As you know I plan to present my model somehow similar like the Leighton model
I am still on the beginning of this Brainstorming - in moment it is still a storm in my brain
So the first decision will be "WHERE" can I make the cut, including the definition, which parts will be installed at the lower part and which elements will be fixed to the upper part of the ships model
First the appr. line for the cut on the CAF-drawing
The cut will be slightly under the clamps of the main deck but over the clamps for the mortar bed beams
This height is also confirmed by the the photos of the model
Here we can see that the leighton model is partly simplified close to the stern
The model Tom from CAF was showing (I do not know, who is the modeler of this one) has the devision also in this height.

So let us concentrate first on the aft area
These are the sketches from Goodwin, marked in red with the appr. planned cutting line
We can see, that the after cabin deck will be part of the upper ships segment (the deck marked with "21" in the first sketch above, so also the six small deck beams marked with green arrows have to be part of the upper segment
The skecth from Goodwin showing the after cabin deck plan and also the six beams
so the next step will be the praparation of this after cabin deck structure with beams, carlings and laying knees.
The following photo is showing the six beams with the prepared notches for the carlings
Ready for finetuning ....

Good luck brainstorming whatever you decide, it's bound to be good.

Good afternoon Uwe, I ask, the Baglietto estate is not on the Baglio, why? I think that makes
A bold decision to cut your ship. I know you determined to do this from the beginning but reality is not always actualized along with the dream. I wish you success Uwe!
