Pinco Genvese by Angarfather - Finished


Recommended Posts

After many years of useing kits as the base for modelling, I started my first scratch model. Therefor I have choosed a smal ship, not a big one like my HMS Agamemnon.

 

On the Mediterranean took place since the end of the 17th century two particularly fast, lean and sharply built sailing vessels whose hull was probably developed from the galley and the caravel: a native of Venice Galeotte and Xebec. The warships of Geneva and Venice, and also well known as the ships of the northern African pirates.

 

At the same time Pinco was the typical merchant ship in the Mediterranean. In principle, a Xebec. However, not so fast, lean and sharply built, but with a good load carrying capacity.

Typical of these ships was the double rigging. In good weather latin sails. In bad weather square rigged.

 

I like this Mediterranean ships, and last but not least at the stern of the Pinco are not so much decorations. I have never before carved such ornaments, but I will do my very best.

 

I began the build August 15. by the plans from Euro Modell Como.

Before I started the first planking, it was necessary to make the transition in the forecastle completed. After the first planking I do not get off there.

I have made the first planking in a special way. 3mm plywood strips are glued between the bulkheads. The bow and stern sections are filled with balsa. After sanding is the result a strong base for the second planking

After mounting the hatches on maindeck planking was the next step.

I didn't find any information how the scuppers are to be made, and where there position is. And this is my solution: after reinforcing the bulwark at the positions, drilling in the scuppers.

I think that the wood of a sail ship from the early 18.century was protected by tar. The guys in the International Maritime Museum, Hamburg told me, that this tar was not black but dark brown. And so I take "Van Dyck Brown" for this job, as I have seen the ships in the paintings of Rembrandt and van Dyck.

To cover the wales I scratched an angle trim. That had been a very fiddely job, for the 2*3mm wallnutbeams are very sensible under progress.

The skupperports are from 9mm Ramin. To make these parts was not a difficult job: first drilling the 5mm whole, than cutting into 2,5mm slides, some sanding - ready.

Part 4

 

The decoration of the transom was a interesting area. First problem was the framing. I wasn't able to make it from wood. 

But the solution was to make it from 2mm soldering wire. In a vice I formed it into a fourcorner.

Some shots after painting the hull. I use distemper coulors. Tar = van Dyck brown  decorationareas = english red 

 

rails are black.  The frames of the transion and the decoration = leaf gold

That's my pinco today.  

 

Last but not least : I belive that a ship must have a name. Her name is Gianna - and that's in german Hanna. :champagne:

Naturaly, when al the wood work will be done, there will be some refinishing operation, in the coloured or goldareas.

Hi,

 

one question. Is it ok to show how I make such little things like a ladder, or isn't it interesting? Things like this:

 

 

There are 6 little laders on pincos deck. Every with only to stairs. I think it's more easy to make this parts with a jig.

Another new little piece. The kabinedoor

 

post-17190-0-07605600-1419809753_thumb.jpg

 

This evening I thought how to make the cover of the hatchway on quarterdeck. The span width is only 1m /3,3". So I made the coverbeams like a roof.

 

The way: the parts after milling the covering of the hatch.

 

post-17190-0-86701100-1419810283_thumb.jpg

 

than sanding the "roofs"

 

post-17190-0-13636500-1419810294_thumb.jpg

 

I think that will be ok

 

post-17190-0-12188500-1419810305_thumb.jpg

 

Next step will be modelling the grasps - eybolds with rings -

Hartmut,

 

By all means, show how you make the bits and pieces if you can.  We all like the "how do you do this?" types of posts.

Hi mates!

 

thanks !

 

@: S.Coleman To show the nails I use this little device: two cutted hypodermic needles in the top of a soldering iron to burn in the covering of the nails.

I have made the grips from 0,7mm black ironwire ( bindingwire from a floristshop).

 

All together 12 pieces for the quaterdeckhatch and 40 for the cargohatch.

Thanks, John. I use distemper colours. These colors can be thined well. However, there are some small problems with the surface, as it is watercolor.

 

I had to make nearly 50 cleats for this little ship. And that's may way to do this.

 

First I have made a squarebar. Than milling the profile.

 

post-17190-0-81205800-1421053794_thumb.jpg

 

Thats the result, a profilbar.

 

post-17190-0-03768600-1421053805_thumb.jpg

 

 

Thereafter cutting with the circular saw

 

post-17190-0-50402100-1421053818_thumb.jpg

 

I attach the cleats with glue and a nail in a centerhole. Drilling in the centerhole

 

post-17190-0-27360500-1421053843_thumb.jpg

 

Now just grind a bit, and the first cleat is ready

Thanks, Nils,

 

Yes, gianna get's sails. Two sets. One latin, and one squaresails. Next week my wife will sew the sails. She is a perfect tailor herself, and I am very clumsy in needlework.
