Very nice work Paul and most probably the differential in colour in the laminated beams will disappear through the year by UV. You didn't show but guess you did not let us down by adding some dove tail joints on your deck beams? ROTF

Looks like a typical don't sneeze moment.

Hi Peter, It must be great building something which is actually still there. If you have a question about something you just drive over and have a look. Very nice work enjoy every update.

This part of the Ghostship is sunken in the sea bed so we won't know before she is raised from the bottom. But now it is close to the lines of ralamb fluyt.

Hi Grant, That is what I am aiming for so most probably we can expect more redo's ROTF

Don't know if it is cheating, you could do this in real life also :-)

Last Friday I visited the Intermodelbau in Dortmund which is the biggest modelling trade show in the world. For static ship modeling there is not much to see, except for tools and materials. This as the show is more focussed on RC. Exept for some paper builders like this. In scale 1:1250 But...

Ho Uwe, Now you have to go there. It is a walk in a candy shop, much better then the nmmg where most models are in storage.

Hi Daniel, Tree nails were fitted. The frames were attached to the planks with tree nails. Under the ship on the blocks there is some space to finish the heads of the tree nails. Also the ship was turned on its side to water tighten the hull before the launch. So sufficient options to do this...

Ps Stephan, purchased Lion heads?? ..... You can certainly do better. You are the only person I know who can carve a twin of John van den Heuvel. :-)

Hi Stephan, Found this, just make it 75 times smaller ROTF And some more

The remaining floor planks in the bow section are fitted. And this time a different approach. I first prepared a plank with a slight curvature. Instead of making a plank to fit my floor shape I now adjust my floor shape to fit my plank. With a japanese saw and a file the floor was shaped to...

Hi Stephan, Welcome back, allthough you never left :-) Happy to see you back on Hohenzollern and good repair on the tuck.

Hi Stephan, these are not plans but archeological drawings of the wreck. You can find them here. The wreck of the samuel is called E81. https://beeldbank.cultureelerfgoed.nl/rce-mediabank/?mode=gallery&view=horizontal&q=e81&rows=25&page=3&sort=order_s_objectnummer%20asc

Just a magnificant event a Solar eclipse, nature at its best. We here in Europe have to wait another two years when there will be one on Spain. Looking forward to that.

Hi Peter, Good to see you back and guess you expanded your kitchen table for this build. Looking forward to your progress and hope to see her live in Amsterdam. The fact that we sometimes have to work for a living sounds very familiar ROTF

Wonderfull work on this small gem.

Wow Paul enjoy, but that shouldn't be to difficult on Hawai. Hopefully visiting the other islands also 8-)

Very nice detailing Rick. Love the binnacle and the cabinets for the flags Everytime I see your progress my hands start itching to continue my RC build.

Hi Heinrich, I know but I agree with Stephan. Regarding planking there seems to be no clear system. Using what is available, you aalso see this on other wrecks of smaller ships I have seen. Even on Vasa there is difference in SB and PS planking.
