Hello, I think with this image the various doubts we have are completely resolved
HMS GRANADO - full hull - POF kit by CAF in 1:48 - by Uwe
Inbetween the discussion: a very nice and precise piece of deck construction, Uwe. Afterall we (almost) can’t see what kind of fitting is made. But that’s for more builds: we know!
Regards, Peter

Hi Pietro, I have never allowed myself to criticize Uwek's work for the beautiful work he is doing but, I notice that my observations are annoying, I close here any comments in the Forum, I limit myself only to observing, greetings
In order now to clarify one final information about the kit.
This is realy a simplification like Christian mentioned in his post, and was prepared by CAF only in the lower deck area aft (red line),
which will be once more covered by a next deck.
So usually absolutely not visible from the top.
The normal deck beams (green marked area) are different
But stay tuned ......

In order to come back to the building log, I would like to show further photos of this mentioned after cabin deck structure
with lodging / laying knees
some closer look of the knees with copper "bolting" and carlings and ledges
one side prepared (the deck structure is still only dry fitted in the hull)
Many Thanks for your interest in my building log, many thanks for the discussion and comments ..... to be continued ....

Hi Uwe, this looks fantastic, absolutely accurate work if it holds so well without a drop of glue.
Many Thanks Tobias for the nice comment and all the likes received - much appreciated
in the meantime this deck element was completed also with the knees and the ledges on the other side

and now I can show you also the final solution I prepared to solve the "problem" with the carlings have / had the same height like the small beams of this deck
The following is howing the deck structure bottom side - I have sanded the carlings down by 0,5 to 1mm. just so much, that there is a small height difference at the connecting to the beams - but nobody will see the model from this side
usually it would be this perspective view from the top down
- if you look close you can see barely this small step - finaly this view has to be through the main deck structure, so also not really visible
But as you know, I plan to cut the hull on the waterline and present the upper part of the ship somehow floatinmg over the hull in app. 20cm -> so also this viw could be possible, if someone will go on his knees and look upwards
somehow like this view
even then some small shadows will show, that the carlings are "laying in recesses in the beams
Easy solution with finaly acceptable result (in my opinion)

Nice solution, Uwe.
Is it correct, that you will install the ensemble later under the planks in the space area?

Very nice work Uwe, clever idea to build the deck outside the ship.
I find your work very impressive and educational and your solution are extremely informative and smart. It just looks very very good.
Correct
But I think, that I will install and fix it before I will cut horizontal - it will help additional for the stabilizing of the upper "space area"
and btw to all who made kind comments - many thanks
and also for all the likes received -> much appreciated
The next to be prepared are the real deck beams, carlings, lodginging knees etc.
So I removed all the temporary internal stuff like the mortar beds etc. and concentrated of this deck structure
so first some impression about the elements - everything only dry fitted
at the bow
one frame for the mortar
the midship section with the heavy lodging knees
as mentioned - in moment only some impressions .... to be continued .....
and mayn thanks for your interest
step by step - still everything dry fitted and not glued - aim is that all element are getting the more or less correct fit
btw this is the original photo showing the obligatory and usual mess on my table
the recess on the lodging knees are still not prepared - important is here a parallel orientation of the carlings and ledges
all carlings are prepared
some of the carlings are still too high, so the recesses have to be overworked
the recesses for the ledges have to be prepared by fine chisels (see on the left one reccess in original round shape caused by the normal cnc machine - a time consuming work
still a lot of work in front of me ..... many thanks for your interest
