Ziet er weer goed uit, Heinrich!
@Scheepsgast Hello Erik. Baie dankie, Ek kyk nou juis na jou baie netjiese Batavia.
Google for "artesania rings"
Looking good Heinrich. I like the reddish doors. Brightens up the ship.

@Marcus Botanicus Thank you Marcus. The colour combination of black for the schot and red for the doors are as per the Lelystadt replica of the Batavia.
Hello Almal
And so we continue. You will recall from my last post that I had started planking the bakdek - so work on that continued. First on the agenda was to shape the waterweg. These 4mm wide Abachi planks were soaked and then shaped using the full-sized Kolderstok plans.
Such is the accuracy of the plans that afterwards the planks fit perfectly in their position.
As can be seen from the plans (above) and the picture (below), I did not follow Kolderstok's planking arrangement at the waterweg. I wanted to try "nibbing" the deck planks into the waterweg (as per some of the more detailed builds I have seen) and see what that would look like.
This is what that little exercise looked like when completed.
And this then is what the finished bakdek looks like.
When it came to the closed luiken on the verdek area, I once more strayed from the straight and narrow Kolderstok path. The Lelystadt replica has its luiken covered by red-coloured canvas which are tied to the deck courtesy of ropes and hooks. As the red colour would clash with the maroon, I chose a different path. I covered the luiken with bamboo sheeting which was then set in beits and finished off with a 45-degree mitred border. (Above and below).
Next, I made the window for the Spiegel.
This is the supplied graph paper on which I have traced the outline of the window and placed the transparent foil (kit supplied) which will simulate the glass. I then highlighted the pattern that I wanted for the lead in the glass and placed the foil over that. In a nerve-racking exercise, the foil is then scored with a knife according to your chosen pattern. In the end, I needed not have fretted as the foil is far stronger than what one might think.
The foil was then painted with black ink (or Indian ink) with the paint flowing into the scored lines. After a few minutes, the foil is wiped clean and then looks like this:
And after everything has been trimmed, brought to sixe and attached to the window frame, we have "leaded windows"!
I am quite happy with the final outcome. I have purposely not chosen a finer pattern as that would seemed too "busy" for my liking. At the same time I also like the subtlety of the "lead" effect - sometimes when too coarsely or aggressively applied, it can look like prison cell bars!
That is all for now so until the next update, please take care and happy building!
Vriendelijk groet - Heinrich
