Angarfather got a reaction from mtaylor in Utrecht 1746 by flying_dutchman2 - FINISHED - Scale 1:48 - Dutch Statenjacht
Hello Marcus!
Have a nice time in our old Europe!
Don't worry when you are going round Hamburg. There is a lot of trafic and there are big building sites on the Autobahn.
Best regards Hartmut

Build log part 59...
Update :
for those fellow builders who frequently catching up on the status,.... I put in some overall shots....
The 4 open lifeboats are rigged, they are also equiped with oars (only rudderblades still missing). The two smaller boats will be in the same paint scheme, but without lifelines, as that is too much straining for eyes and hands. The remaining closed boats are waiting for the lifelines to be attached, refer to the pic for one first sample. I decided not to lash on seperate protection covers (canvas)
Nils
the oars are stored on the oposite side to where passengers would step into the boats
The two open boats on the left of the pic have appr. 5 mm less length and a lower sheerboard, they will match in color scheme
The "hard cover" shown here on the sample "closed boat" will be the protection canvas, no seperate lashings under and around the boat.
these are the two smaller (shorter) open, also clinkered double ender boats, that fit into the row of 10 boats per ships side with the others. These boats claim to be 1:144 scale, the figurines are 1:160, but I feel they match together perfectly

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

I am now modelling all the parts which are still missing on deck.
The hatches of the forecastle.
Caboose chimney
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.

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.

Angarfather reacted to captainbob in SS Mariefred by captainbob - 1:96
Hi All,
I have to move away from research for a while to build a little more. Or I will know everything there is to know about the Mariefred and never build her. The Mariefred is a very early (1903) steel boat. So like Nils (Mirabell61), I had to plate her, rivets and all. Maybe I shouldn’t say so but it was a lot easier that I thought it would be. The main problem is finding the right foil for the job. Most of what I found at the hardware store was too thin and doesn’t look right. There were four or five brands where us non-professionals find what we want. But walking down to the end of the store where the contractors go, I found the heaver foil that is needed. I found an old clock gear that I made into a ponce wheel and with just a little practice . . . here’s the results. I’ll accept it as a first try. Now paint and on to the rest of the boat.

Trying to find a suitable way to make the boat (canvas) covers...,for the closed boats
Here a first trial with aluminiun foil...., once the cut outline pattern is OK, I will look for a more canvas color like self adhesive fibre foil. It still requires some tuning.
The foil sticks to where it should in place, but for the optics there will be lacings from triangles stb. to triangles port of the boat, around its keel.

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.

Many thanks, guys!!!!
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

Hello Mates!
The gallion painted.
Best regards Hartmut

Angarfather got a reaction from flying_dutchman2 in Statenjacht Utrecht by Angarfather - 1:36
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
