    I continue on the galion. Making head rails... The years of wood betrayed me while sanding. It could be glued ..😵 I carefully place ..
  3. Ondras71
    After a really long break caused by many "circumstances", I start working on the galion again.. Galion spikes.. Another will be the production of gallon railings..

    Thanks for the like.. Grate head deck pinned pins 0.5 mm.. Sidewalls glued .. I'm creating a decorative head deck ..
  5. Ondras71
    Thank you very much Steve and Patrick!! Thanks for the like.. I fixed an old bug where the Catheads pulleys were not in a vertical position.. Now I'm creating a head deck grate.. Head deck side pillars..
  6. Ondras71
    I work on the sides of the head deck.. The ship gained a new image..🎨

    Thanks for the like. I decided to keep the lion statue only in red, that's how I found it..😎 historical picture.. model R.L. from the Gdańsk Museum.. replica Duyfken.. I finished the head deck frame. Again, I came across different dimensions of the drawing of a lion statue on the plan sheets ..😵 I had to lower the lion's back.. This is the size of a lion statue .. Now the statue will fit under the head deck..

    Thank you all..!! I sprayed red. Varnish for that. Next in line will be a retouch to highlight the details.. Glued Knee of the head.. Added clinkbout ..

    Thank you very much Patrick.. The words of a sculptor I read still ring in my ears. He said he had not created the statue, it was inside the block he was working on. Just removed the excess material ...😇 I tried to create even more details, now it's done ..👌 Basic white spray.. And now red..🎨

    Thank you very much Patrick and Gary. Thanks for the like.. The fight with the lion is still ongoing. Gradually in several steps the shape is rounded and slimmed .. Now comes the spray with a primer, followed by red..🎨 And a test on a ship..⛅

    Thank you very much Allan and Steven. The lion has a shape.. ..in base color.. ..polished, now I have to fine-tune shapes and details..
  12. Ondras71
    I finally found time to shape a lion. I studied carving a bit, a little lion anatomy. And he started. Workplace supplemented with photos of a Lion replica Batavia.. Beech is probably not an ideal wood for carving, but the figure will be painted, so maybe it doesn't matter so much. I had no other hardwood. Gradual shaping of anatomy by milling machine..⚒️ There will still be a lot of shaping, but the proportions fit..🤯
  13. Ondras71
    Catheads supported by knees.. And I'm starting to prepare a lion statue ... made of hard beech wood.. Just start shaping..💥
  14. Ondras71
    Thanks for the like. Catheads done.. Not everything went well, I had to create a new face .. Almost half of the ornaments placed on the ship .. I wonder if I will shade the faces. Features would stand out ..
  15. Ondras71
    Greetings and thank you!!! The production of ornaments began ... My plan was to first try to sculpt the wood and, if that didn't work, to create the sculptures out of clay. I started with wood and ....... it works. Catheads foreheads first created. Here's the face. And when it worked, I continued with the already prepared Chesstree posts..
  16. Ondras71
    Thank you. I already know that a ship from this period will not have many credible sources and images. But I enjoy the building! So far, I've just waxed the balcony.. I prepared beams for catheads. I will be the first to make the most demanding. Faces on foreheads.. The first is rough. He starts to smile..
  17. Ondras71
    Thanks for the like! Created the basis of the balcony. Knee production combined with the production of knees under the aft deck.. I was milling my knees. I made a milling machine from a nail. According to the Russian style, which works.. The boat went up the keel for the last time. Knees located.. Before waxing.. I'm thinking of putting the railing down at the end of the hull, it will be fragile..🤯😲
  18. Ondras71
    Thank you very much Silverman. Thanks for the like! 😇 I have been thinking for a long time about finishing the connection of the front stem according to Witsen.. Replica of Barents' ship.. So I added it. The cuts were made with a 0.15 mm thick razor saw, and 0.09 mm black paper was placed.. Klinkbout will be added after grinding.. And now really a balcony..
  19. Ondras71
    Channels waxed .. Next in line is a balcony..
  20. Ondras71
    Thank you for like! Channels glued.. I created reinforcing knees. System ala marsalv...😇 The elbows will be reinforced with 0.5 mm pins. Finally wax..
  21. Ondras71
    Thank you for like! Channels. I had to measure their width so that the ropes would not rub against the railing, because what is painted in the plan does not agree. Channels secured with steel pegs.. So far dry..
  22. Ondras71
    Thank you for your input and thoughts. Building models according to plan or their historical accuracy is a dilemma that every builder must face. Fortunately, nowadays there are already enough quality plans. I waxed the railing, covered the part where there would be other equipment.. There really isn't room for a Pin Rail on the aft deck on this plan.. Preparation for channels..
  23. Ondras71
    Well-meaning criticism is appropriate, from a person with your experience, Ab is beneficial. I know from the beginning that the plan of this ship is not good, the authors drew from more sources. The pins in the side railing of Dutch ships can be seen in the pictures, I found a debate on the Czech forum and there the most detailed picture of a Dutch warship - EENDRACHT from 1655 by van de Velde, he has pins in the railing. Another warship.. So the small possibility of placing them on warships was possible !? The Dutch double deck according to the model in the book Der Hollandische Zweidecker von 1660-1670 by Heinrich Winter also has pins in the railing, here this model by Alexander Bielov.. I build the model as competitive, here the main consideration is the agreement with the plan, every change must be documented. So I'm looking for historical data..
  24. Ondras71
    I appreciate your words Hubacs and Oliver Finished railing of the poop deck.. Drilled all holes for pins in the side railing.. Can I have a question about Ab Hoving? I'm looking for information on other ties that are not on the plan. Can I use the inner railing as on other models? Or Pin Rail on the inside? What is historically more faithful? Thank you.
  25. Ondras71
    That's great news, Abe. I'm really looking forward to this tour. I envy Peter that he has already started the construction of the Vitsen pinas !! 💣💥
