Santa Maria 1492 by Katsumoto - FINISHED - Artesania Latina - scale 1:65


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

Today a small update on some other things. Planking of the hull continues slowely...

So, I made the base of the main mast.

That certainly is an interesting way to get the hull planked, and it looks decent too. Nicely done. 

Thank you Wallace. I am pretty pleased with the result as well

Hi guys,

 

Today nothing special to show, only my progression of the planking proces.

So, on the picture below you can see the different line the second layer takes in comparison of the first layer.

Probably I will finish the hull somewhere next week or so...almost there....

 

So long,

***Chapter 10 - Hullplanking finished***

 

Hi Guys,

 

Today I have finished the planking proces of the hull. Both sides are the same. 

 Sit back and hopefully enjoy!

Looks fantastic, you have done an excellent job!

Were there any extra difficulties in using pre-cut strips rather than one long plank?

Thanks!

it works much better pre-cutting the strips. Easier to handle and the result is a nice pattern of colors on your hull.

Those pre-cut strips do not deter from the beauty of this hull. You have done a masterful job sir. Perhaps this is a method that could be adopted for my build? (at least for the first layer of planking. It would make things a little easier maybe......) I will have to give that some serious thought. Thanks also then for the inspiration :)

Thanks Wallace. I’m sure your hull of the Victory will be a beauty as well. 

You can apply this method to almost any hull, but sometimes an other method is needed depending on the ships timeperiod and origin and how accurate of the timeperiod you want to represent.

Beautifully planked petr, a few coats of sanding sealer followed by some tung oil and that wood will look awesome

Thanks Christos. I’ll set sail for the new world and probably end up in Greece. 😎

When it's all about the rudder...

Hi friends,

 

Today I finished a simple task....constructing the rudder! However, Columbus set sail for the Indies and ended up in current America. So the rudder is part of keeping the right course and is pretty significant for this ship. 

Before I'll show you the steps of constructing the rudder, first some other work I've done this weekend...

b9afc3b371c5cc5a82cdf4d191a95c6a.jpg

 

Step by step she turns into a nice ship...


Back towards the rudder then. It comes with the kit pre-made from walnut and all I had to do is some sanding to get rid of the laser burns.

 

fcc5519640a6bdf60510b16a88e651c7.jpg

 

I didn't liked the thickness of the wood, it felt to bulky to me and I was wondering what was wrong. So after a while I decided to taper the end part of the rudder. 

 

43b02f8a1f86ea100a611b5d96cd2c4d.jpg

 

c13cefc0211204d61b1f68621e66f24c.jpg

 

Much better result so to say. Less bulky!

So in the next picture, I'll show some parts. The rudder, the helm(stick) (red arrow) and a metal band which is made from a strip of brass. (green arrow)

 

b9aec0db6d9615cbd3123c5ae80b7352.jpg

 

I decided to use some walnut veneer to cover the reddish wood because I didn't like the color. Also the hole is to large for the rudder to fit so I changed that as wel and made it smaller.

 

9fe370a3d3111a1027396df7c63ee2ce.jpg

 

a600944dde550faf7d3854d9b249f98e.jpg

 

Next step is constructing the hinges. The premade hinges are way to big for this type of ship. So I changed it and made them a bit less bulky.

08d92ef61c0c24ad33b78deb5ee2e999.jpg

 

 

The pins are made of some 1,5mm brass roundbar.

440c1f0cf2ba37a92cd998ba5e383058.jpg

 

So, normaly I use Brass Black of Birchwood Casey to blacken my brass. This is packed into a container and stored for the move to another house. So a new bottle costs about 25 USD over here in The Netherlands. I had some black paint on the shelve so I used that in stead.

Continuing the assembly of the rudder...

And placed the rudder on the ship...

regards,
Pter

**Chapter 12 - Railings**

 

Hello Sir's!

 

Last week I was busy doing some work on the SM regarding the railings. This was a tough job because I wanted to make them differently than the kitmaker suggested them to do. I wanted to make them out of a solid strip of walnut instead of constructing them from small parts and then glued together.

For the upper railings I did the following. I took some boiling hot water and placed the strip of walnut into the water. I plied the wood in the water until in curved in the right form. I took the strip out of the bowl and placed it wet on top of the bulwark and shaped the strip in the needed form and clamped it in place so the soaked wood can dry...

 

374af638ccd58a1974ef86a1071a2490.jpg

 

88ec3af8cdfcc3d8cf66c20c4f3b5aec.jpg

 

 

In between I focussed on some smaller tasks. I took some of the rosewood parts and covered them with some walnut veneer until the railings dried.

128c652002dc11d5f683be52b02067c1.jpg


 

So, after the upper railings were dried, I glued them on the ship.

6ca7fa4c9668c6bd7b86039b9259cb39.jpg


Time to move on to the bottem railings. I used the same technique of the boiling water to curve the wood into the right shape, placed the wet on the ship and let it dry. This time the railings consists out of two smaller strips of walnut. This is done so it can follow the curve of the hull. When glued together, you can hardly see the difference between the upper and lower railings.

147f977b2fe26d767dbc5b3237aa45c2.jpg


So, some pictures to show the end result and the flow of the railings into each other...

3c668e651217b83c0cd6a0f7051eb75f.jpg


Time to place some reinforcements on the hull. The kitmaker wants me to construct them again from two seperate strips of walnut placed on top of each other. I only placed the bottem ones yet and is shown on the next pictures...

Stunning! Incredibly neat work. Your work is a joy to see, Sir!

I love the crisp lines.

This is more like a "scratch" build than like something out of a box. You are using the plans but adapting and improving the model using your own innovations. Truly magnificent Peter. 

 

Thanks guys! It helps that the kit itself is a pretty straight forward build. So it almost get together by itself. Just a bit of some creativity and glue is all she needs. The difficulty lies in the part of getting the work clean and crisp.

It is a fun build so far, with some small challenges I have myself to blame for most of the time... :rolleyes:

**Nailed it!?**

 

Hello friends, just a tiny update from the shipyard...

Let's continue where I left off...

 

c86bc0bbfccc72f6bac0acad886696bb.jpg

 

72baf3f7c30ec94024d49627c2478d4d.jpg


So, the first layer is done on one side. I've copied it to the other side as well.

a68b4e0c3cc5ba7af26ea4bd4b1561bf.jpg

 

f23df284b1db55e91190eb89fb043863.jpg


Both sides first layer finished....Now the second layer!

9249f0c247ec4451f9fde65ebc1c79d7.jpg

 

Then I used a small handdrill 0,5mm to drill some small holes...

30d00523ae53a6956f0df71fbee28fd7.jpg

 

I painted the head of some nails black....

 

33258dc3468ccd5966b7b1593e4107ad.jpg

 

After drying I placed the nails on the ship. Just a small tap with a hammer was all it needed.

fe514e02f54ac78ac74cd20d64919256.jpg


So, nails finished. Going forward with the planks that holds the dead eyes. I don't know the English term, but in Dutch we call these "Rusten"

I wanted to let them curve with the ships wales. So I used some nails to fixate them in the right place.

0e2ed2ad297158b599ec535017ff3dca.jpg

 

Between my fingers I gently curved the board so the pins would get into the drilled holes.

 

d43f53b9094a0dec20859e3d176884df.jpg

 

 

Just a few taps with the hammer did the trick!

As expected, amazing work Sir!

I am going to take a lot of tips from this build to use on my own build. I especially like how you made/attached the channels (Rusten).

I have always shied away from having pins showing on the hull, but you are changing my mind, they look great!
