    Thank you so much Roger.. I thank everyone for the like..😇 I want to finish the rudder before placing the model on the final stand. After a longer time of soldering hinges .. Ready for cleaning and blackening.. I found that cleaning with nitric acid must be done carefully, 0.2 mm sheet metal and tubes with a wall of 0.1 mm are terribly tricky, especially the tubes can be quickly etched by acid .. I had to replace one..😱

    Thank you so much Backer.. I thank everyone for the like..😇 Balcony railing glued.. During drying, I stuck a lion statue firmly.. ..and began manufacturing the rudder.. Finished railing waxed, only a handrail..

    Hello. I carved the guide rail on a FET saw according to Andrej Kudin. 2x 45 degrees, then an octagon is created on it..👌
  6. Ondras71
    Galion completed .. After waxing..🎨 And with a statue.. Another job is the balcony railing. I'm slowly creating a 3D shape on a template..🛠️

    Greetings Bryantes. A clever start with a small boat and then a bigger building.I keep my fingers crossed for a start.
  8. Ondras71
    I reinforced the fragile cracked rails with pins.. I patinated the lion statues and other wooden ornaments, heads and cutters. All oil paint..🎨 I continue on the galion..😵
  9. Ondras71
    I wish everyone a lot of success until the new year 2022, peace of mind modeling and especially health!
  10. Ondras71
    I continue on the galion. Making head rails... The years of wood betrayed me while sanding. It could be glued ..😵 I carefully place ..
  11. 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..
  12. Ondras71
    Thanks for the like.. Grate head deck pinned pins 0.5 mm.. Sidewalls glued .. I'm creating a decorative head deck ..
  13. 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..
  14. Ondras71
    I work on the sides of the head deck.. The ship gained a new image..🎨
  15. Ondras71
    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..
  16. Ondras71
    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 ..
  17. Ondras71
    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..🎨
  18. Ondras71
    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..⛅
  19. Ondras71
    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..
  20. 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..🤯
  21. Ondras71
    Catheads supported by knees.. And I'm starting to prepare a lion statue ... made of hard beech wood.. Just start shaping..💥
  22. 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 ..
  23. 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..
  24. 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..
  25. 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..🤯😲
