Thanks to all!

Some pics from the dinghy.

Cheers Hartmut

Thanks to Nils, all the Likes!!!

Tody I had to takel Giannas  jibsail. Before that I had to turn some belaynails. 3mm ramin is a good material for this job.

And here the nails in place

Gianna with all sails

Next days I will modell all the little parts like cargo and finish the dinghy.

Cheers  Hartmut

Thanks, Patrick!

There are to projects. First will be the Statenjacht Utrecht. I have got two wonderfull books over this ship and scratch building the modell from SeawatchBooks. 

Furthermore, I do research on plans for a galleon from the time of Queen Elisabeth1.

Cheers Hartmut

Ahoy, Mates,

Modelling is more to me than just craftmansshipp, it is always a little dreaming.

Hello Tadeus!

Most interesting thread.

Many thanks for posting this.

Hartmut

Hi Nils,

 I think that your way of rigging will be an exampel for masterwork at  my next projekt!

Hartmut

Thanks. John.

You are right. Two sails, finishing the dinghy, and some details ( Cargo - barrels- sacks) and Gianna is ready.

Kindly Hartmut

P.s. The next build is in preparation, so it's time to finish the Gianna.

Well, my Admiral had looked into this post, and she did say: Why not.

Hartmut

At frist some pics from the sailmakers workshop.

Many thanks to my wife for the perfect results!!!!!!

And this is Gianna on yesterday evening.

Best regards

Hartmut

Thanks to Nils, Sjors and all "likes"

Best regards. Hartmut

Thanks, mates!

There was a mistake in bounding the mizzensail. I have bounded it invert!!!! A half hour of work, and the problem was quit.

Here are three pics. from the seven sheat blocks of the mainyard.

Hello  Sjors!

Good workmanship you show there!

I think that you are right. It's a long way to masting and rigging the Aga. But I will get up my chair and wait for the next pics.

Best regards Hartmut 

Thanks to Patrick and all who "liked" it.

I had sails on a model 12 years ago. But a latin rigged ship without sails looks a little bit poor to my eyes. Fortunately my Admiral sewed the sails! I am very clumsy in needlework.

Best regards Hartmut

Hello bdgiantman2

A good beginnig!

I am most interested in your build, for my next project will be the Statenjacht Utrecht.

Reagards Hartmut

Congrats on finishing the two Mayflowers. Marvelous work!

And good luck to you for building the Soverein ! What a ship, and what a lot of work!

Regards Hartmut

I have try to remove the chimney but I think I will be having more damage .

So I'll keep it this way.

When someone ask me about it, I can always say that it is standing on a spindle.......

You can turn it any time you want !

How about that solution ?

 

Sjors

About the chimney: as I know the chimney can be turned. That.'s fx to be seen on HMS Victory. So it will be ok to show it in the position you choose on your Aga.

Regards Hartmut

Hello Dave!

What a nice group of ships!

best regards Hartmut

The boomtackles of the mizzen boom.

The anchorshanks and arms are made from 3mm PVC foam 

The anchorstocks are from wallnut and the hoops from 1,7mm soldering wire

The served anchorrings

The blocks of the latinyard hallyards: seven sheave blocks at main and fore mast, trebleblocks at the mizzen

Pincos crew are only six hands and the skipper. Therefore they used such big tackles to work with the latin yards.

Regards Hartmut

Well, Cristiano,

I am thinking about the next project. There are two favourites: a statenjacht or a xebec. I am searching for a good plan of xebec.

Regards Hartmut

Hello Cristiano,

I had a most interesting skroll through your build log. Marveless!!

best regards. Hartmut

Thanks Cristiano,

Most interesting Informations, and by the way a wonderfull picture

The collection of riggin material for the shrouds. 

Gianna today.

Best regards Angarfather

Altough Gianna is a smal ship 110 blocks are needed. 

I made the violin blocks konventionel from one piece of wood.

The others are glued up from layers of 1mm walnut stripes. 

One of the ready single blockstripes

The result is a smal frame from walnut.

The slices for the smal blocks are made from 3mm soldering wire. 

The slices for the other blocks are made from 4mm brass.

Milling the groove for the blockstrops

The results after some times of sanding

Hello Dave,

thanks for showing your way of makeing the pins. Very good! Next week I have to make 30 pieces. I will try it in your way.

Best regards

Hartmut
