Part 2
 
The Gallion
 

 
I think that the wood of a sail ship from the early 18.century was protected by tar. The guys in the International Maritime Museum, Hamburg told me, that this tar was not black but dark brown. And so I take "Van Dyck Brown" for this job, as I have seen the ships in the paintings of Rembrandt and van Dyck.
 

 
 
To cover the wales I scratched an angle trim. That had been a very fiddely job, for the 2*3mm wallnutbeams are very sensible under progress.
 

 
 

 
The skupperports are from 9mm Ramin. To make these parts was not a difficult job: first drilling the 5mm whole, than cutting into 2,5mm slides, some sanding - ready.

Hi mates!
 
thanks !
 
@: S.Coleman To show the nails I use this little device: two cutted hypodermic needles in the top of a soldering iron to burn in the covering of the nails.

Hi,
 
one question. Is it ok to show how I make such little things like a ladder, or isn't it interesting? Things like this:
 
 
There are 6 little laders on pincos deck. Every with only to stairs. I think it's more easy to make this parts with a jig.
 

 

 
The laders in place
 

 

 
Another new little piece. The kabinedoor
 

 
This evening I thought how to make the cover of the hatchway on quarterdeck. The span width is only 1m /3,3". So I made the coverbeams like a roof.
 
The way: the parts after milling the covering of the hatch.
 

 
than sanding the "roofs"
 

 
I think that will be ok
 

 
Next step will be modelling the grasps - eybolds with rings -

Mauro, deck looks nice, which wood you use for it?
 
Matija

Thanks mates!!!
 
Giannas stern decorations are finished now. 
 

 
Naturaly, when al the wood work will be done, there will be some refinishing operation, in the coloured or goldareas.
 
regards  Hartmut

Part 5
 
 
It's the first time that I have to carve decorations. 
 
My first akantus pieces
 

 

 
and than the next parts with leaf gold and in place.
 

 

 
That's my pinco today.  
 
Last but not least : I belive that a ship must have a name. Her name is Gianna - and that's in german Hanna.
 
Cheers Hartmut
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Part 4
 
The decoration of the transom was a interesting area. First problem was the framing. I wasn't able to make it from wood. 
But the solution was to make it from 2mm soldering wire. In a vice I formed it into a fourcorner.
 
 

 

 
 
Some shots after painting the hull. I use distemper coulors. Tar = van Dyck brown  decorationareas = english red 
 
rails are black.  The frames of the transion and the decoration = leaf gold

The Gallion

And so I take "Van Dyck Brown" for this job, as I have seen the ships in the paintings of Rembrandt and van Dyck.

The skupperports are from 9mm Ramin. To make these parts was not a difficult job: first drilling the 5mm whole, than cutting into 2,5mm slides, some sanding - ready.

After many years of useing kits as the base for modelling, I started my first scratch model. Therefor I have choosed a smal ship, not a big one like my HMS Agamemnon.
 
On the Mediterranean took place since the end of the 17th century two particularly fast, lean and sharply built sailing vessels whose hull was probably developed from the galley and the caravel: a native of Venice Galeotte and Xebec. The warships of Geneva and Venice, and also well known as the ships of the northern African pirates.
 
At the same time Pinco was the typical merchant ship in the Mediterranean. In principle, a Xebec. However, not so fast, lean and sharply built, but with a good load carrying capacity.
Typical of these ships was the double rigging. In good weather latin sails. In bad weather square rigged.
 
I like this Mediterranean ships, and last but not least at the stern of the Pinco are not so much decorations. I have never before carved such ornaments, but I will do my very best.
 
I began the build August 15. by the plans from Euro Modell Como.
 

 
Before I started the first planking, it was necessary to make the transition in the forecastle completed. After the first planking I do not get off there.
 

 
 
I have made the first planking in a special way. 3mm plywood strips are glued between the bulkheads. The bow and stern sections are filled with balsa. After sanding is the result a strong base for the second planking
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
Second planking is made from wallnut
 

 
 

 
 
 

 
After mounting the hatches on maindeck planking was the next step.
 
 

 
 
 

 
I didn't find any information how the scuppers are to be made, and where there position is. And this is my solution: after reinforcing the bulwark at the positions, drilling in the scuppers.
 
 

 
 

Sjors!
 
call me an old romantic if you like, but I can just image myself standing on the balcony around time of the dog-watches sipping some Madeira whilst watching the wake stream away into the distant sunset.
 
Very well done.
 
Best regards Hartmut
