Wappen von Hamburg I - 1667, Scale 1/50

Belated Happy Birthday. Wapen von Hamburg I was built in Hamburg, at the Deichtor shipyard. Baumeister was a Dutchman whose name was not known. It is believed that the Dutch "Aemilia" of 1632 served as a model. Brandenburg never had anything to do with it. Only a little note ;)
 
Hallo Community,

Here I would like to introduce my new project which I intend start now.
It is the Brandenburg convoy ship “Wapen of Hamburg I ” of 1667 according to the Corel plan set in the scale 1/50.

After a long search, I finally could buy a set of fittings and plan set of the Corel kit only which serves as the base for my construction. The book by Wolfgang Quinger is meant as an additional reference.



The start of construction and further details will follow soon.

Enjoy your special day
 
Hello Udo. This is a great build so far. Just a suggestion. On your closed gunports, the planking does not follow the pattern of the rest of the stern. I would suggest that they be the same.

Absolutely right, gun ports are fixed!

In the meantime, I have started filling the frames with abachi wood to provide a better base for the single planking.
