mati Posted March 27, 2013 Share #1 Posted March 27, 2013 Welcome back... after some problems with old MSW my logs and not only mine were lost... so now I'll try restore what I wrote before... So... I'm building dutch pinnce from XVII century. Vessel was built in Dutch shipyard and then serve few years in Dutch Navy... after all Navy sold ship in 1623 to Swedish Navy. This vessel participate in the battle of Oliwa (coast of Poland) in 1627... battle was part of war between Poland and Sweden. In 1929 vessel came back to the waters of Bay of Gdańsk to took part with other vessels in blockade of the City of Gdańsk. She was sank in 1644. I'm using pear wood for entire model (except deck which was made using birch wood and carvings which is pau marfin) Rest information you 'll find in following logs... That how model looks after one year... ...and some picture from the beginning... ...and some picture of my gratings (1,5mmx1,5mm)... ...nails imitation made using 0,2mm brass wire...

mati Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share #2 Posted March 27, 2013 continuation... Deck nails imitation made as well using brass wire but in this case 0,5mm... ...becouse I broke few drills I said stop... and I made drill from... brass wire with sharp end... worked brilliant ...some overview of decks ...nothing special, just walls ...after all I started bulkheads, keel, sternpost, steam and finally planking... ...meanwhile some ladders... ...and planking of course pear wood. Bow planking calibrate to avoid stealers. I formed planks using only water and 36,6 deree celsius from my hands. Pear lath if was cut properly it'll be very flexible Imitation of taring on the edge of each lath was made using soft pencil. themadchemist, Wishmaster, flying_dutchman2 and 22 others 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your carvings are looking great too. Although I had to look up what pau farnim was ..... Now I know, In Dutch it is called ivory wood. What plans are you using for this build?

mati Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share #12 Posted March 27, 2013 Playing around with rope making I already have plenty ropes... but still not enough...Rope making are eating so mant time. Then it's necessary to permeate ropes . These ropes are the most thiner diameter which I'm able to make using cotton threads and three thread (0,35mm and 0,25mm) of course you can lay thiner using two threads but quality and presentation are not gratifying. I have very nice syntetic threads which I'll use...most probably Syntetic threads are more elastic... and give opportunity to lay thin rope... problem is always with permeate and insulation (syntetic ropes like to "grab" dust... so it's necessary to hobble electrostatic force ...but about this and how to do it, I'll write in nearby future Here I'd like to show example of cable-laid and left-laid ropes Part of my rope-stock yvesvidal, sonicmcdude, Archi and 16 others 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the vacation and the wether is miserable I sill have a little bit of free time before I'll come back to another contract... so it's good moment to continue building!So finally I overwhelm myself... set the workshop and I'd like to present what I've done. Enjoy... I hope Hinges are made from brass. Hinge blade thick. 0,2mm, rest parts brass wire 0,5mm and brass tube 0,68mmOne single door hinge contain 10 elements. Everything was solder using silver.
