Friech Boeir Yacht SPERWER by Kortes -1:30 scale

[cog]

magnificent ...

 

How did you attach the hinges, Kortes?

[amateur]

Hi Kortes,

 

I guess you have seen the original bars on Sperwer?

that pattern is very distinctive, more than the rather basic pattern you have used.

Did you simplify on purpose?

Unfortunately, I couldn't think of any technology and make a 

door bars at my scale indetical to the original. Due to this i decided to play some tricks. I have to confess it's a deliberate deviation.

I didn't have enough skill.

In order to install hinges, I had to use a non typical method. I hope the photos will explain everything.

I didn‘t like the original, too much Art Noveau, which is kind of out of place in this context. Kortes‘ solution is much more appropriate, I think.

but then you are no "Fries"

[wefalck]

Perhaps not enough, only had a eastern Frisian grandmother

[cog]

Might be, one never knows how the wheel turns ... Eastern Frysian is German right. I would expect them to be Baroque lovers, so Art Nouveau ... could not be part of your preferences ... but that's the German ancestry from my grandfather

Yes, You are right, this is a good photoetching, this is the only way to make this decor element. I understand this. But having judged my skills, and the lack of necessary equipment and materials, I came to the conclusion that I wouldn't be able to make this element properly. That is why I opted for abberation from the original. Probably I shouldn't have done it and leave the door without stained-glass window. Probably I should have done it that way. 

[KORTES]

I have made nagels.

[KORTES]

I have made one of the most difficult pieces, if I am not mistaken, the Dutchmen call it Mast-in mastkoker.

[KORTES]

Fitting.

[KORTES]

I didn’t attach metal until the installation of a pillar.

Macro filming, as usually, has shown a number of rough edges, but before oil coating they all will be eliminated.

[druxey]

Lovely work!

[amateur]

Hi Kortes,

 

nicely done.

 

your decision to make a stained glass appearance is good: these ships showed the standing of its owner. Just plain glass would not do 

 

The other part is called mastkoker. (Not mast in mastkoker). A heavy piece. Attached to the ships bottom, as it       is the connection between hull and mast.

Lovely work, the plank caulking looks amazing in those close up photos

One more decoration piece.

[KORTES]

The final installation of the deck-house.

 

I have coated the state cabin with oil. Probably, in the future, few will see it. 

[druxey]

Very nicely made decorations, Kortes. A happy New Year to you.

[KORTES]

Thank you very much.

[KORTES]

Now the insides can be seen only through the illuminator or the door. 

[paulsutcliffe]

Beautiful, I just reread from the beginning to see how you did the caulking on the deck and deckhouse and its not mentioned, how did you get those lovely caulking black lines - paper??

Regards

Paul

 

[KORTES]

Hello Paul.

 

I used plastic film for calking. I used this method when i was building "Carolina". All that one needs for this can be found in any stationary shop.

Plastic bag for paper (they can be found in different colors and thickness) and two sides adhesive duct tape. I 

use the balck side of the plastic bag. I put the duct tape on plastic fim and cut  it in stripes according to the thickness of the batten, 

it can be made with a small margin, then I separate

protective paper from the strip and stick on the end of the batten, the allowances are cut off with the knife, - it's cutting off nicely. 

Here are several photos, maybe they can be of use to somebody. If you have any questions - it would be my pleasure to help.

My best regards, Alexander.

Alexander,

 

Did you make your carvings with a chisel, a knife or a rotary tool?

 

Your boeier yacht becomes a real beauty.

Alexander is an interesting solution using plastic. Why didn't you use black paper?

[Backer]

Very nice work, and interesting to follow.
A happy 2019 with a lot of model building.
