and now

skeleton crew

first making some matresses from bakeable clay
tight fit to get them into the bunks
then starting a "sleeping man" skeleton
and adding first legs, then feet
think i'll try having his arms be outside the "blanket"
i'll make to cover him

Don't you think twisted wire for a skeleton is an easier option, Ken?

i tried wire

but i can't seem to get the smaller proportions correct

with the paper for example, i get a forehead and a chin on the skull and i get better articulation on things like arm and leg joints

more adventures

with figures

when you put the clay in the oven and bake 5 minutes at 450 instead of 200, you get an african sailor
so i started again
i have to admit, i like making the skeletons
and also we start a table, for the cook, since we are working on the galley
we add a head and shoulders to our new sailor and try on his blanket... finish him with a head of hair and put him to bed in his bunk

planks and paint

that's how we roll
glue down the false deck
cut out the plan to be able to plot the locations of the holes for the cannons
roll a jig the right size for the diameter of the holes
check against the plan for the cannons
start the holes with the knife
test with the jig
use a file to finish the holes to size
the jig lets us not only test the size of the hole but its orientation

just one hole

after another

i should say, before gluing down the false deck i had to do some major readjustment of the deck beams to get them to line up better... paper is such a forgiving medium

i added a water way, i cheated and the deck planks are not really inset into it

i went in search of more reference for the interior... since trying to puzzle it out just from the plans was making my head hurt

a coat of paint... and next we have to plank the inside of the bulwarks

I didn't realize how large this model was until I saw it sitting on your leg. This is going to be truly impressive when finished.
