I'm surprised that the hull plates are hand trimmed. Did they require trial and error a few times or is it generally a smooth process? I won't say I only work with computer-aided design but my hand can only achieve half as clean as this.

Hello Lex: The lower hull plates required much work. It was for the most part a process of trial and error. In some areas, as along the midship sides, I was able to install multiple plates together. Perhaps 8 or 9 or 10 plates in one sheet. However, in many other areas I needed to install each plate, one at a time. It was like laying tile on a kitchen floor, except that a hull is not a flat surface. I have seen one or two kits that have hull plate details printed on the hull parts sheets. They are very attractive. The artwork is nicely done and has a more subtle appearance than these you see on Ulfberht. Compared to those, mine are a bit too bold.

12 – Bow and Stern Gun Turrets
Thanks Lex and Rifleman for your comments.
Here is another round of photos to bring this project up to date. I designed Ulfberht to have double 305mm (12-inch) turrets at the bow and stern. The parts and assemblies are featured in the first three images. In images 088 and 089, one can see some of my prototype/experiments for size and appearance in the right rear. The gun barrels are rolled from paper. The turrets are paper, except for the card floor. I wanted to add some creativity to the bow turret, so I developed a design reminiscent of battle shields from the middle ages. Kind Regards, Mike

Hi Mike!
As for the picture in your older post: it's good to see your ships together, so many beautiful projects ... For the construction: your ship is developing nicely, the armament is the usual fine work ... I admire the cleanliness of the hull. I am now designing fisher and transport ships for my port, but I cannot produce this precision. Regards, Joe

13 – Forward Gangways
Thanks Tappi, Rifleman, Joe, David, Rmks2000 and Don. Your interest and support are appreciated.
The first photos show the creation of the ladders needed for the four openings in the deck around the forward superstructure. All of the parts for the ladders are paper. Beginning with image 099, I went back to the year 2015 and revived an old technique for making “weather-protection-frames” (for lack of a better word). Six years ago I made them to cover spotlights. In this case, I decided to install them over the four gangways around the superstructure. They are labor intensive, but worth the effort I think. They are made of paper around a wood jig as seen in images 099, 100 and 101. Then they are painted. Kind Regards, Mike
