Thanks to Patrick and Carl Hello Carl, this colourfull design is the result of the researches which Ab Hoving and the other builders of the 1:1 Utrecht had made. I think that such wonderfull colors were usual in the baroque. Especially when the upper ten of the cityes wanted to show who they are. Some pic of the mast, the loops of the shrouds and the back and fore stays And the Heart block of the fore stay Regards Hartmut

Hello Patrick and Brian. Many thanks for your kind words! Brian - The Dutch have built statenjachts from the beginning of 17.century to the end of the 18. The leeboards were used in the Netherlands from the sixteens century. All drawings and paintings from this times I know shows the leeboards. Fx. van der Velde shows in teh 17.century many of this nobel ships, and all of them had leebords. Also the plans of such ships from the 18.century. Also the plans by Pieter van Zwijndregt, van Genth and others ( Maritim Museum Rotterdamm ) shows this components.And the Mary? She was a typical dutch statenjacht. Therefore I think that she had leebords. I think you are right in this. In that time shipwrights,, whole in Europe, I mean,were very conservative constructors. Best regards Hartmut

Yes, Carl is right! Fast on the german Autobahn? In the 80. and 90. you can drive realy fast. But today? Most are 120km/h the aloud limit. But however, nice to have you back again. Cheers Hartmut

Many thanks to Nils and all the likes! There are a lot of little thing which must be modeled for such a little ship. And its a great fun to make this parts. First the flaggstaff of the pavillon To prevent this faltbottom ship from drifting sideways leebords are used. The leebords are composite pieces of wood, reinforced and holded together by iron and iron bolts. The dutch shipwrights found out that the leebords performed better when they are placed somewhere forward or aft. The fittings at which the leebords can be moved forward or backward. Brass soldered with silver ver Most of the blocks of this dutch ships carried metallfittings. I have made the first blocks for the leebord halliard. Also from brass soldered with silver. The leebord on portside. And the leebord on starbord. Best regards Hartmut

Thanks to all for the kind words and the likes! Next step was modelling the rudder. Bevor I could install the rudder I had to paint the under water parts of the Utrecht Next step was to make the rudder blade and the hinges I havemade the hinges from 0,5mm brass with 2,1mm diameter bras tubes, soldered with silver. The tiller, made from matall, goes from the rudder shaft under the pavillons bottom to the main deck. At last the rudder after mounting Best regards Hartmut

Hello, mates! we, my Admiral and me, returned from a 14 days journey on board of the Richard With, a ship of the norwegian HurtigRuten. A very impressive time from Bergen (Nor) to Kirkenes and back to Bergen. But now its time to continue modelling the Utrecht. The last parts on deck. Some cleats and the skylight of the big cabin. To make this part was an most interesting job. It is eight cornerd. ANd her is a pic all over the deck Cheers Hartmut

Hello Guys! Thanks for the kind words to my works! Here again some pics of further details. To make the railing around the stairs was a special pleasure, since I have not worked with metal for a long time. It's from 3 and 2mm brass, soldered with silver solder. On the supports came still a few balls,which comes close to the baroque style. And here are the other parts which are new on deck. Four cleats, two pin racks and the bearings of the leeboards Have a nice weekend! Cheers Hartmut

Hello Rat-Fink-A-Booboo Copper below the water line does'nt become green. It becomes more dark brown / nearly black. The green we know from roofs or old ships in a dry dock occurs when the copper is in the air. Hartmut

You are right, Nils. In contrast to the past the machine rooms are now almost oilfree and quite clean. But loud, very very loud, is it still there. And last but not least: to look at your marvelous modell is a delight to the eyes. Cheerio! Hartmut

Hello Nils, indeed it was a wet and also cold job to work on the outside wheel stand. But that was the normal situation on such a Steamer. On the other hand it was nothing against the work in the rigg and on deck of the sailing ships. And then, what a feeling to drive his ship through storm, wind, snow and fog safely to her place in the harbor. On this steamers ,I think, the jobs of the coal trimmers and heaters were very hard. Very high heat, very much noise and very much dirt and very exhausting. Hartmut

Hello Nils, of course it will be an uncomfortable place for the helmsman. But for long times there were no windshield weephers at the windows of the wheelhouses. In storm with rain, spray and fogged windows it was almost impossible to see outside the way fx in harbours and other small waterways. Even with freighters and ferries from the 80th the outboards controls were still on the bridge cams in the open. best regards hartmut

Another step. Utrecht needs a stand now. I am rarely a minimalist. Only for the stands. Therefore I like to use plexi glass for this job. It s from 6mm Plexi and a 9mm roundbeam, assembled with two M4 screws My Admirals did say: Beautiful, she floats over the ground. Best regards Hartmut
