Thanks Patrick! And the Same to you!

The replica makes 3-4 knots  at Wind 3-4. Yes, this ships hadn't been racehorses, but very comfortable sailing hotels for the upper ten of the dutch companies.

To model the gallion is a little bit fiddly. The drawings doesn't show the real dimension of the rails and knees. So I started first to make the lower and upper knees.

After this I could find out the dimensions of the upper rail

Next job will be the carving of the filler and the figurhead.

Cheers Hartmut

Thanks, guys!

@dadodude   This is my favourit monster. Its watching the portsite.

Cheers Hartmut

Aye, Nils and Patrick!

many Thanks for your kindly words!

@ Patrick   -   some years ago when I was modelling the Pegasus I had the idea to modify an ironing board so that it will be possible to go deeper as the normal way in using such a device.  When I did talk about this with my Admiral she has an idea how ti manage this. And than she said: you can get my old ironing board, and I will go to the store to buy an new one. She has an modern ironing board and I have a very good working modelling bench.

Many thanks to Patrick and the Likes!

After several weeks with carving, I now again have to made some technical parts of the Utrecht.

First the windlass

On board of the Utrecht the catheads and the windlass are one technical system. I have made it from swiss pear, the rolls are from brass

It was no problem to turn the shaft of the windlass from beech wood

Milling in the tooth ring of the backflow barrier

In position

Finished

Many thank to all the Likes

Some pics from the finished decorations of the Windows.

Now I have to carve some figures. I tried at first to carve the two sea animals which will "live" on the reling. They are not so complicated as the galions lion and the others.  They are named dolphins, but I think that they are typical baroque seamonsters.

Cheerio   Hartmut

Aye, Sjors!

Congratulation to the finishing of this marvelous model!  

And yes, she is a real beauty! 

Best regards !

Congratulations! You have done an amazing job in building this beauty.

Some new decoration parts.

Hi Bob,

nice to see how you build this modell of a wonderfull old beauty.  Its a dream to sail on board of this old lady from Stockholm to her old destination Mariefred Harbor. 

I think that she will be the last of this old ships with a steam engine which sailed in Sweden. There is another little fleet of old ship which sailed in line traffic on the Götakanal from Göteborg to Stockholm. There are Ms Juno from 1874, MS Wilhelm Tham from 1912 and MS Diana from 1931. But in these ships the steam engines were exchanged for diesel.

Regards Angarfather

Many Thanks for your kindly comments and all the likes !

Many thanks for your kind words!

Last two days I practiced in drawing Acathus leaves. Today I tried to carve the middle part of the decoration rails. Since there is now exact drawing from the original, I have designed it by myself.

Cheers Angarfather

Aye, Warhonor!

Many thanks to Niels, Patrick and all the "Likes"

here are the to lower parts of the decoration rails in their final form.

Portside

Starbord

At the big Utrecht these parts are mirror-like. But I think that I will have to carve many times until I can make two of this parts wich are realy equal. 

Cheers Angarfather

Hello Niels!

Your doing an absolute amazing  job especially in metalwork.

I think that I will have to ask you for help in this, for I am going to prepare my next project. That will be the Gorch Fock. And in building her there will be a lot of metalworks ( reling,vents and so on) 

Best regards

Angarfather / Hartmut

Aye, Captn

Now the adventure ( carving ) begins.  My first trial the portside part of the Sterns decoration.

To protect my fingers I have glued the wood on a piece of balsa by double face tape. 

Cheerio!
