    Making the Sky light of the crew mess
     


    In the evening the CEO of the company came along to visit the ship.




     
    His was quite satisfied and invited the Crew to red vine.

     
    Cheers! 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.

    Bevor I can start to carve and bring in the figurhead (a lion ) I have to make some little parts to finish the bow.
     

     
    The reinforcement of the stem to hold the loop for the gammoning ropes and the knee to support the sprit
     
     

     
    The reinforcement is from 0,8mm brass. The loop from 2mm brass soldered into the brass sheet.
     

    Besst regards  Hartmut

    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

    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

    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.

    Started work on the main top mast tonight. Not a lot done yet just some basic shaping and sizing and started to carve out the cap. She is getting taller all the time now. It is one thing to say that she will be 2 feet tall when finished but it is another to see it in real life! And to think, Soleil Royal will be even taller!! Sometimes I understand why the Admiral thinks I'm a little crazy... 
     
    Anyway, more will be coming soon I just wanted to update the log and show that I'm back in La Couronne's shipyard again.

    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.

    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
