Suit yourself, but I am glad you don't work for the police.

Hello everyone
Inbetween year-end at school, Bluenose and future model activity planning, I continued on the Haarlem. Don't ask when I sleep.
The first step was to open the geschutpoorten on the bakboordkant.
This time there was no luxury of drilling pilot holes in the four corners of the geschutpoorten. I scored it heavily with the X-Acto and then used it as a chisel. By the way, that is a full-sized hammer.
If the knife is sharp enough and your angle is correct you get a surprisingly clean cut.
Clean-cut or not, looking at the port side like this is still a "cringe-worthy" moment.
But ... eventually all order is restored and finally ... I can place all 6 cannons. (You can see in the picture above that I have made a start to the final piece of verschansing that goes on the inside of the fortuining in the kuil area.
The rolpaarden still need to be finished and the cannons rigged, but that is for another day. I am very happy to be at this point tonight and that I have taken the plunge to install the cannons.
Now I could also check the available space that I have for the longboat. First up - the Falkonet.
Nice boat but the era is wrong and the size is too big. Also, the Pear Wood does not fit in with the colour scheme. Next up, our Kolderstok one.
Despite the keel that protrudes too high into the boat and the lack of floorboards, it is a much better fit. Hence I ordered another one from @Kolderstok Hans and that I WILL make work!
En n laaste plaatje vanaf die agterstewe.
Keep safe, take care and build those ships!!!

Kijk eens aan, dat is een mooie vordering Heinrich, maar je durft wel hoor, met zo een grote hamer op zo een klein mesje.
