Good day Ondras,

Lovely model and hjgh level craftmenship !!!

Like it very , very much!!!

Could it be happened  that designed "masts" happened to be  too small ( kind of proportional issue) for the size of the hull ?

of couse it is just my private opinion /impression after watching photo of your build log , I understood that everything made as per original  drawing , but... :)))

All the best!

ps

Could it be played in some comp. drawing programms , how general rigging plan  will be ooks like , if  masts , top- masts , etc...all will be  increased in length of  approx 5 to 10 % of original drawing size ?

Greetings Kirill. Thank you very much for your response, you hit the spot where I was wondering about mast height. I calculated the masts according to the table in the book "Mondfeld - Historic Ship Models" and the dimensions fit the plan.

However, the lower parts (main mast, fore mast, mizen mast) still seemed short to me. I compared the masts with the masts according to the Zeehaen plan and they turned out to be about 10 percent longer. So the masts are raised.

The Main yard and Fore yard locations will now sit as well..🔥

Mast parts done. Topmasts supplemented with pulleys..

Making basket supports called Mast Cheeks. Again processing the glued and then soaked parts..

I have already reached model height..💥

I modified my lathe to clamp long sections of masts..🔥

Production of topmasts has started..

Add some details and I can start assembling..💥

It's remarkable work.

I have never seen swivel guns with so much detail and so well done, congratulations.

Thank you very much friends, I am trying my best..😁

Finally the main lower parts of the masts..🔥

Temporary direction signs created for exact machining directions..

The tops are machined and holes drilled for the location of the lower tie-down points..

Finished lower parts of the masts..

(Manual dividing device)

Done..💥

Now tops and topmasts..🔥

I finished the swivel cannons on the railing.💥

I created new smaller chambers..

After blackening..

The last visible detail, the chamber pins..

The last parts of the hull, chamber guns, placed..

And now I can rush to the rigging!!🔥

For a first time builder.. and new to this site...this looks amazing... awesome..

Thank you very much friends. thank you for the like.

I'm continuing with the rotating chamber cannons on the railing, luckily there will only be four.

I found the current cannon in a book by Ab Hoving: Het Schip Van Wilem Barents and painted it.

Then the turning began. It is very small against already created cannons.

Created pockets for exchange chambers.

Of course, you need to start making a larger number, they slowly decrease during the work..

Added chambers..

Result OK..

The boat placed on a stand...

...and bound...

Naprosto mistrovské, Ondrasi! Loď vaší lodi je sama o sobě v jemném měřítku!

Děkuji moc přátelé, děkuji za další lajky.😍

Kormidlo hotovo..🔥

Loď vypadá na palubě dobře..

Udělám stojan a pevně postavím loď...💥

The boat is ready, just the rudder and place it on the ship...🔥

The 1:60 scale is still demanding on details..

boat: bench and railing...

It's only 10.3 cm...

Now for accessories...🔥

Amazing 

 

Home made saw?? 😉

Yes Patrick. A tool created from a shard of a razor saw. I enjoy creating tools that won't damage the finished ship!🔥💥

I continue on the boat..🔥

I found beautiful photos of the Willem Barentsz boat replica. On the website of the modeler Heinrich. shipsofscale.com/sosforums/threads/high-hopes-wild-men-and-the-devil’s-jaw-willem-barentsz-kolderstok-1-50.8662/page-100 

The tops of the ribs have been cleaned, the ribs have been cleaned inside, the top edge has been ground flat..

Completed the last rib and bottom of the boat..

Outer hull and bottom of boat waxed..🎨

Now the railings and benches..🔥💥

Looks amazing!

Thank you friends, your interest pleases me and moves me forward.

Another milestone behind me, the body of the boat finished, sanded and cut from the hoof with a razor saw..🔥💥

Again I used the option of dispersion glue. The sunken place on the bow after removal is wetted and pushed from the inside into the correct place..

A preview of the boat on the ship's deck..😍

Now clean the ribs and arrange.🔥

Hello Ab. I am very glad that you are now healthy and creating again! I'm thinking of putting your picture on my wall...🏆 Ondras

I continue on the work boat. Bending workshop..

According to the paper templates, I create more rows of boards, the edges highlighted with graphite..

The third row already has an extreme side bend. After a good soaking, the 0.8x3.5 mm strips can be bent well, just persistence. Step one - side bend..

Step 2 - after drying, bend into the shape of the torso, then fit.. I will save material against carving from wood plates..👍

The last part, closing the bottom. Too small, the bottom will not be visible, I helped myself by assembling the moldings from two parts. Otherwise, it would not be possible to do it well..🔥

I continue with the paneling boards, paper templates again..

Surfaces created on the ribs..

Gluing with long-term glue D3, fitting takes a long time..

First board..🔥

I wish modelers all over the world a lot of peace and time to build models in the new year 2024. Ondras

Thank you very much everyone for the likes..

Spraying done, maybe the last one on the ship...🎨

Glued pre-prepared wales from strips 1x1 mm..

The result is satisfaction..🔥💥

I continue on the work boat. According to the plan, the boat has colorful decorations. I didn't want to do this on the boat, but the color strip will match the whole boat..

So spray paint white and then red triangles. The board is 2.2 mm..

Red...

And the resulting decorations..

I'm repainting and now just clean wood...🔥

Thank you very much everyone for the likes.🙂

The most challenging part of a Dutch boat with a round bow and stern. Top board. Made stops to get the shape and cut the boards...

..bending into shape according to a paper template..

First boards glued..🔥

Bow..

Stern..

Finding? Very fragile..

Thank you very much everyone for the likes..

I finally finished the folded ribs of the boat..

Future rib height..

Sanded, I can lay boards..🔥

Greetings Tomek. Beautiful work, I envy paper art. 🏆

You convinced me again that the Dutch ships were the most beautiful..

So the WCHS 2023 pre-competition and competition time is over, the boat has returned from its trip..

...now to start building again and finish the rigging!🔥

  There's a Gorch Fock in one display case there ... something I'm attempting to restore - estimated age 50 - 70 years.

 

You have great eyes Johnny. Of course, the plan in our "eastern" sector was for the Soviet ship Tovarišč.
