@Amateur  Thank you for the picture. I will represent the right direction of the planks after grinding by incised lines.

Hi Mateus,
 
Thanks for your post.
The angle of the planking was taken differntly according to the sources known to me. In the 16. and 17. century and at larger ships the shipwrights have taken that in the way you drew it. At the Staatenjachts especialy in the 18. century are angle from 15/20 degrees to perpendicular in the historic drawings to be seen. At the replica Utrecht is it approximativ 8 degrees, and in Dr.MacArdles drawings perpendicular. Espacially at the Staatenjachts it seems to be rather an aestheticle as an constructiv
element.

Keel and stems are in place.   There were some pieces of wood, therefore I have made the rudder of it.
 

 
sawn
 

 
sanded
 

 
Next step was to mortise the  timber transoms in place, and planking the square tuck. In addition, this work should be made well before planking.
 

 
to model the Wing transom was a nice and fiddly job.
 

 
The finished square tuck

It is called 'buy them on the internet'. 
I will have to look that up, but I have lots of them in brass and I simply blackened them.
I will need more for the side rails much later on, so there is a box full (well, not full, but you know what I mean)
 
Thank you David. But the right equipment helps.
A couple years ago, when I started with my full scale Connie, I though I had most of the tools I needed. After all, I have been dong wood working for almost 50 years. But that was making furniture. decking, crown-moulding, etc.
The small stuff was a experience to me and eventually I invested in a mini lathe and a mini mill to do what I like best now.
It has opened a whole new world of making small models for me.
More about all of this later (and I won't even mention what I have learned about brazing metals, making rope, using my wife's sewing machine, etc).

Many centuries watertransport was the fastest and most comfortable way of traveling on the coasts and along the big rivers in Europe. By towing with horses along the rivers and canals. By sail across the open waters.
 
The statenjacht was the Rolls Royce of this passenger ships. Used to move fx company executives or other VIPs from place to place to execute their jobs.
 
It was the time of the Barroque. So this ships were fitted out with most comfortable state cabins, bedrooms, kitchens, and last but not least magnificently decorated.
 
 
At first I had in mind to build the HMY Mary from 1670. Only her decorations and paintings were very complicated.
 
The Utrecht, however, seems to me a bit simpler decorated. Moreover, in the books of Seawatch books are very good plans of this ship.
 
I build the Utrecht in scale 1:36. As POF model. However, I'm doing the frames of10mm plywood. Since the frames are not seen through the planking, solid wood is too good for this job in my eyes.
 
Some shots from yesterday.

Thank you very much Boyd,
 
I`m about to finalize My "Pegasus" soon, There`s not much go any more. The intension is to do it when the follower model "KWdG"  hull, which is well on the way, has been plated......
 
Nils
 
Here the present status of "HMS Pegasus" :
 
made a new, and larger white ensign on cloth of an old fine-structured handkerchief by ink printing / ironing methode,
 
when complete all square sails shall be braced to appr appr. 45° angle. The  main courses sheets and tack-lines as well as the bow-lines still need to be rigged. Also the spare spars resting on the gallows still have to be made, whereby the ships boat is already finished for mounting. Half of the anchors are done. Maybe also a securing rudder chain will be fitted
 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

So, I've been having a couple really small craft store bottles lying around the hobby area for quite some time not knowing what to do with them. The body of the bottles are roughly 25mm high and I bought the bottles on a whim because I found them adorable.
 
A couple days ago I got an idea; why not make a ship in a bottle from one of them?
 
I haven't gotten far on the build but I did manage to do a bunch before I realised I wanted to log it so there aren't many pictures on the prep work nor on the initial stages, but the hull is simply ice cream sticks held together by two tooth pick plugs. 
 

 
I made the rudder and the balcony by sanding a piece of wood and then dousing it in super glue to make it able to withstand the force of filing and cutting the pieces to shape.
 

 
I tried fitting the tip od a needle as a front mast but I'm still not convinced it feels ok scale-wise.
 

 
Today I gave her railings and some hull details made from brass etch sprues(or whatever it is actually called when it has nothing to do with injection moulding) that I had lying about.
 


 
I might have to dye the wood if I'm going to keep working with brass, it definitely doesn't combine well on camera.
 
Also, I've started contemplating not making it a bottled ship but instead just go crazy on details. I'm feeling a little torn there.
 
 

Build log part 16
 
did a trial mock up today for for rounding the 19 mm high cabin wall corners. The doors are  15 mm resp. 14 mm  high depending on position of mounting
 
Nils
 
 

 
doors with window frame, and doorknob are of brass
 
 

 
cut a profile bar for the corner- fitting of the cabin wall plates
 
 

 
easy to round and blend out
 
 

 
a good base for the plating....
 
 

 
gives a nice smooth corner connection
 
 

 
door and porthole fitted

This had been the frames after glueing in the fillers.
 

 
After this there were some hours of sanding .
 

 
The bowsection after first sanding.
 

 
During installation of the bow the laser was a good help again
 

 

 
 
And thats the Utrecht after many hours of dust and noise. But I think that it could be reasonable certain usefull
 

 
 
Best regards Hartmut

Since the beginning of May was little time for Utrecht. Some rather interesting jobs took precedence.
But something was still managed in Angarfathers dockyard.   Some pics from the way       To make the sternsection was a most interesting  job. The outside after first fairing      Fairing the inside         Aligning the components prior to assembly         That's Utrecht today.           Cheers Hartmut
