The Red Dragon ship is, so far, amazing! :o....I’m sure you’ll work out the problems with the new one! 8)

I have to agree with my esteemed colleague: 'Tis all looking mighty fine from here and, as you are an experienced shipbuilder now, I agree that you will certainly find a solution to your warping problem.

And if you dont, you can just say that its ill-advised to ship out with a warped hull :p

Seriously though, building several ships for this challenge is quite impressive and your planking pictures are very educational.

Thanks for the comments, I think I will start again from the beginning with the third ship, because the waterline was a little bit to high.

Meanwhile, the decks of the water witch are full planked, the sides will be made of Card, that is much easier and faster to build.

The Red Dragon made some progress, too

Very cool - nice planking there, and that grille is the works.  8) 8)

Next Steps:

The water witch got her hull, and meanwhile the big gun arrived. A parrot gun from HLBS, super nice model and super service, came with two sheets for instructions.


I found some late medieval guns in my lead mountain for the Red Dragon. The gun ports are simple grommets.

Thanks for the comments!

Meanwhile at the shipyard...

The hull of the water witch is more or less finished, now the upper structure is to be done.


This will be converted into a wreck (the banana boat)


The hull of the Red Dragon is finished, now the deck must be detailed


And the third ship was redone, this time with a strong inner structure to prevent the ship to bend like a banana

Really beautiful work. And good on you for deciding to convert the banana boat into a wreck - never waste an opportunity.

I am in awe!  :o So much work in so little time! And such quality!

The hull of the Red Dragon is finished, now the deck must be detailed


Looks very very good. What is the darker edge made of? Putty or something else?

And the third ship was redone, this time with a strong inner structure to prevent the ship to bend like a banana

Looks very promising as well. By chance did you save the plans for this in a format you can share?   :D
