Thanks for the explanation! Jan

So, two people running a whi,e day likemad hamsters, to get one (or two) scoops up, and down....? how didthey empty thosescoops? Every timethe scoop was raised above waterlevel, they put a boat under it to empty the scoop? Sounds like a very time consuming proces....... Jan
-
Now I start wondering: how did this machine actually work? I though it was somethink like the modern machines, with a number of scoops mounted on some kind of belt, but that wouldn fit on these large wheels, so.... could you explain? Jan

Wow....it looks so tiny (it probably is...) that airbrushpressure might blow it apart..... Jan

Is there a true POF kit in the market?
amateur replied to Ulises Victoria's topic in Wood ship model kits
Never seen one. Guess there is no market for it..... Jan -

Try scanning the build logs of Cog, or RGL They are quite experienced in weathering techniques (and folding incredibly small PE-parts ) Jan

HMS SUSSEX 1693 by 8sillones
amateur replied to 8sillones's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
Hi John, I scanned some pics in the net and in my books, and I thinkg the rings should be placed against the aouter hull, so the wales and profiles are to be inletted in the mouldings. So: in principle no open space behind te mouldings. (but perhaps I'm wrong, as I am by no means an expert on English ships) Jan -
Actually, for the simpler models, the kidsversion works fine:) Jan

is that head carved from wood, or is it sculpted using some kind of clay? (either way: it looks very convincing to me ) Jan -
But you will forget the pain once the work is finished and the results are as good as we expect them to be Jan

Now knowing how huge this part is, I'm a bit disappointed that you didn't cut out the windows to put the interior in seriously: quite smaller than I expected it to be. Wonderfull work! jan

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the replica-project will never be finished. The discussion in 2003 did result in a restart then, almost all of the bow-section, and a large part of the transom were removed and rebuild (changing the construction-method from shell-first to frame-first). However, that restart was at a large cost: much of the wood available was needed for the rebuild, and again, money ran short, so the build came to a (temporary) stop. In the meantime the management of the wharf has decided to leave the unfinished ship as it is now. The oldest parts are starting to deteriorate, and continuing the build will therefore never result in a sound ship.... Besides: there is a continuing shortage of money, and more and more of that scarce money is needed to fund Batavia's maintenance. To show visitors something on the Zeven Provincien, they build a large 1:10 scale model of the Zeven Provincien, with large cut-outs in the outer hull, so that visitors can get some idea on how these large ships of War looked like, inside and out.

Tired of ratlines..... Don't think Wasa was a wise choice for you..... Why do you need to split the deck in two? Isn't there a way to do it while the deck is in place? The curved planks are very distinctive, would be nice to have them that way, in stead of the basic straight planking.... Jan

nice ship! and far less ratlines when it comes to rigging her Jan

Need a tip on staining or coloring the running rigging
amateur replied to Tallsails2's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
I used walnutstain to darken my lines. By wiping it offbefore it was dry, or apply it twice, i did achieve enough colour variation to my liking. Black line is too dark (at least, to my taste) Jan -
But as you don't tell what the design error is, no one will ever notice (except you, ofcourse). To me it looks like a proper mast, and an amazing amount of detail, given the size and scale of the ship. Jan

Btw there have to be a square hole in the front deck, it is worthwhile doing that before the deck is planked: the hole has to line up with the gap in the bulkhead. Easier to do early in th build. jan
-
You cantplank thedecksbefore you do theoutside: the upper ends of the bulkheads have to be removed before you can plank the deck. (don't forget to put some tape on the outside of the bulkhead-tops: makes removing them a lot easier) btw there is some metalwork on bulkhead 6, put that on before planking, othrrwise it is almost out of reach (speaking from experience;) ) jan
