Scepter.

After solder, as usually, broaching file…

Thank you dear Carl. Corrected.

When I have made some pieces.

 it comes to oil coating, lots of elements have to be attached before putting coating.

Alexander is an interesting solution using plastic. Why didn't you use black paper?

My greetings dear Valeriy

I haven’t worked with paper, although I have been reading a lot about it. Time ago I picked from several variations of caulking imitation, and chose this technology and from that time on I have been using only it. For several reasons – plastic can be surfaced and scraped very well in final polishing of the deck covering. And secondly, to my point of view, it resembles better the seal of joints on the deck. And thirdly, on these ships joints are very wide and paper imitation wouldn’t work. Even plastic had to be glued in two layers.

My best regards, Happy New Year.

Alexander,

 

Did you make your carvings with a chisel, a knife or a rotary tool?

 

Your boeier yacht becomes a real beauty.

 

 

My greetings dear Geert.

This element of carving was made using nothing but incisor. For the finish processing I had to surface it using a wooden toothpick, fastened by microdrill.

My best regards. Happy New Year!    

Hello Paul.

I used plastic film for calking. I used this method when i was building "Carolina". All that one needs for this can be found in any stationary shop.

Plastic bag for paper (they can be found in different colors and thickness) and two sides adhesive duct tape. I 

use the balck side of the plastic bag. I put the duct tape on plastic fim and cut  it in stripes according to the thickness of the batten, 

it can be made with a small margin, then I separate

protective paper from the strip and stick on the end of the batten, the allowances are cut off with the knife, - it's cutting off nicely. 

Here are several photos, maybe they can be of use to somebody. If you have any questions - it would be my pleasure to help.

My best regards, Alexander.

Now the insides can be seen only through the illuminator or the door. 

Thank you very much.

The final installation of the deck-house.

I have coated the state cabin with oil. Probably, in the future, few will see it. 

One more decoration piece.

This is a great work with metal.

Happy New Year.

Respectfully yours.  Alexander.

I didn’t attach metal until the installation of a pillar.

Macro filming, as usually, has shown a number of rough edges, but before oil coating they all will be eliminated.

Fitting.

I have made one of the most difficult pieces, if I am not mistaken, the Dutchmen call it Mast-in mastkoker.

I have made nagels.

Yikes, thats a detail that was made for photoetching!

Yes, You are right, this is a good photoetching, this is the only way to make this decor element. I understand this. But having judged my skills, and the lack of necessary equipment and materials, I came to the conclusion that I wouldn't be able to make this element properly. That is why I opted for abberation from the original. Probably I shouldn't have done it and leave the door without stained-glass window. Probably I should have done it that way.

How did you attach the hinges, Kortes?

In order to install hinges, I had to use a non typical method. I hope the photos will explain everything.

Hi Kortes,

 

I guess you have seen the original bars on Sperwer?

that pattern is very distinctive, more than the rather basic pattern you have used.

Did you simplify on purpose?

Unfortunately, I couldn't think of any technology and make a 

door bars at my scale indetical to the original. Due to this i decided to play some tricks. I have to confess it's a deliberate deviation.

I didn't have enough skill. 

 

Fitting.

I have made bars for the doors.
