ancre Chebece 1750 by Jeronimo - FINISHED
Siggi52 replied to Jeronimo's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
Hello Karl, this is really a peace of art, wonderful. Nils, yes you are right. -
Hello, thank you all for your kind words and likes. During the paint on my ship is drying, I went to Hamburg and visiting the „Maritimes Museum Hamburg“. There I saw something all of you with the problem, where to store all these models, would be interested. Next we build all smaller models. These are may be 3-5 cm long! Or if there is space enough, a diorama. This one is from Helgoland in the 19. century. The ships are not really larger then the one before.

Hello Karl, today I had been after a longer time again at the „Maritimes Museum Hamburg“ and there I found something you might be interested in. May be when you are ready with your Chebece and want to build the whole ship. This one is build from ivory! So, if your way cross that of an elephant, ask him for a teeth or two

Hello Hubac's Historian, it is't so bad, but you see different shades in the color. But even when you diluted the color, in the corners the color build up piles. So you have to stop it someone. I will let the ship now dry for a week and see then what to do next. I think, when I'm ready with the antic finish ore aging it a little, you would't see it no more. At least, I think that the original ships where not so clean painted then our models today.

Hello Steve, you could ask questions and I should answer them with my poor english Ok, it was a 1,5 cm broad mink hair brush. Hopefully that this is the right term for it. But I made several layers, I think 4, of diluted paint. But even then you could see different shades. Especially in the yellow areas. That would be a real challenge above the wales with all the gun ports and riggols.

Hello Hubac'sHistorian, yes it's acrylic paint and hand brushed. But I don't think it's phenomenal.

Hello, after I had to do some other things then shipbuilding, here now an update. I painted the under water ship. Before I go on and build the upper part of the outside ship ready, I must build in the gun deck and made the inner walls smooth. But then the slots for the over head stand will get lost. So I painted it now. In the first picture I made the water line horizontal.

Hello and many thanks Guy, John and Hubac'sHistorian for your nice comments. Guy, it's Balsa wood between the bulkheads glued in with wood glue.

Thank you Nils, if you like to have a look at the real model, I think you did't live so far away from my place, you are welcome.

Hello Doris, Carl and Amalio and many thanks for your comments and all others for there likes. That encourages my efforts to build this model even better.
-
Hello, today I finished the lower counter. The only thing left here, is to cut the mortise for the gun port lid into the rail.
-
Hello Aviaamator, at the rudder the pins where soldered just into the 90° bent of the arms and for the brace I bent a short piece of brass to an U and soldered it to the arms. Then I bored a hole, slightly larger then the pin, in it and ready. I hope that this was a help for you, even with my not so good english
-
Hello Johann, thank you for the complement and all others for there likes. Yes the holes are drilled in on the model and then I glued the copper bolts in with CA glue and filed them flush.
-
Hello, thank you Nils and Karl for your friendly words and all others for your likes. Now the rudder is mostly ready. Next task is to plank the lower counter

Hello Karl, super workmanship, bravo. What material did you take for the ropes? -
Hello, today I finished the rudder and the next days I will build the braces to connect it to the ship.
-
Good morning, thank you Dave and Druxey for your efforts and all other for your likes. I also have no picture from an admiralty model with these plates and Goodwin did't say anything about the time they where build. So I'm not wrong for building these plates not.
-
One question I forget, did anyone know when the fish and horseshoe plates where introduced? Did I have to build them (1747) ? I did't find anything about the time it was introduced.

Hello again, and thank you for your likes and comments. Hubac, now and then you see it in this forum. Also my Dragon has these staples. After sanding the whole forenoon, I think the lower hull is ready now. I should have started with the first drop plank at the 1. diminishing strake. But later you are always smarter The next thing to do is, I think the ruder. Then I know how large the opening in the lower counter must really be. But because here the spring came from one day to the other, I think my garden needs my attention first. The week before Easter we had two snowstorms with each 10 cm snow here. More north they had over 50 cm! One of my oaks lost a big branch then, and the experts will come Friday to cut it out. But also for me is enow left.
-
Hello, it is done, the hull is planked! It went not all as I aspected, but I'm more or less satisfied with the result. Some putty and sanding will do the rest and paint will cover it later And thank you all for your likes and comments.
-
Hello, and many thanks for your comments and likes. A short update, just to show you that I'm still working. Now are only 8 strakes left. But it's a boring task, here are no port holes
-
Hello, thank you Johann and all the others for there likes, but for me it's just one plank after the other Here some pictures of the stealers I build already. I modified my bending jig for a more moderate curve and bend the planks upright. I think I will build also a third stealer, to get better around the bow with the planks. And there they are. Not so perfect as Mark's joints, but later you would't see it, because of the THICK layer of white paint that covers them. The advantage of building with balsa wood is that you could secure your planks with pins. So it's not all bad with it.
-
Thank you Paul and (and all others for your likes) Druxey, I think I will build two drop strakes under the diminishing strakes near the bow. Goodwin (page 50) wrote that this was made in earlier times to prevent the planks from snying. Later in the 18th century that was't made anymore.
-
Hello, today only a small update. I finished the garboard strakes and the diminishing strakes. At the pictures you could see that I started to divide the rest of the hull for planking. But first I have to look how many steelers I have to build. That means researching. That was't easy, but at least the strakes gave up, and I won
