  1. The construction of the parapets was the next step, to make them I used the cherry tree,

    IMG_3415_1.JPG.dc35323d2f737909ecb1cacdb1d028f5.JPG

    limes and cutters were the tools used

    IMG_3416_1.JPG.a5cd96f66a275746e37bb964d041d83b.JPG

    to avoid doing damage on the bridge, I used the paper tape
    the marks of the holes for the railing uprights

    IMG_3417_1.JPG.8cfa73ec01008b05eb1b57ac614f79df.JPG

    for all the parapets the system used was the usual one, they were positioned
    without gluing, for now

    last, the overall view

    we proceed, albeit slowly

  2. I thank my friends for their appreciation,
    the next jobs are the realization of the ankles and the anklets,
      to make them I used the classic "toothpicks" finished with the drill and the limes while for the anklets, walnut strips stopped with nails and glue

    IMG_3351r_1.thumb.jpg.402efaa06522797aa3aff1702a4dc99b.jpg

    the pegs will be cut to the thread by rewinding
    while for the realization of the ankles the photo shows the workmanship and results (pieces of simple realization better than those found in commerce)

    IMG_3355_1.JPG.57fecc104339936c12ff7e5f8f8318b1.JPG

    carry two anklets

  3. later the works continued with the construction of the bilge pumps,
    to make them I used as a base a tip of the d. of 5 mm covered with adhesive tape on which I quickly glued the strips of the width of 2 mm,

    IMG_3140_1.JPG.63ff07b549aeecb931050a2215f044af.JPGthen I prepared the pieces that make up the pump, making the rod, the handle, and the plunger

    IMG_3151_1.JPG.e10f8a78a1093f7bd4f35c572a1bb6ed.JPG

    assembling them together

    IMG_3158_1.JPG.e0ea136eb73d2e34c754feb2b6ff829a.JPG

    placing them on the main part using the copper wire to hold them in place during the gluing

    IMG_3146_1.JPG.fcaf6e231b65d71549921c95bab7f527.JPG

    to make the water outlet pipe from the pump I used the tin wire, widening the central hole with a pin

    IMG_3163_1.JPG.bfc075848db79a892cffaf0417a724e1.JPG

    I inserted the water outlet pipe into the hole, and I finished making two small copper bands painted outside the pump

  4. A small update of the works, related to the creation and installation of a bracket near the bow, to make it I used adhesive tape on which I drew the profile of the bracket, after which I cut it realizing the shape shown on the brass plate he allowed me to make the stirrup in a precise way, I made some holes in which I passed the brass thread, then I would brown it,

    IMG_3138_1.JPG.f6c05037535f1197a5360021b7f469a5.JPG

     

  5. later I prepared part of the pieces that make up the parasartie of the mast, these too are only fitted together without gluing, and even these pieces have been modified in the parts of the drawing related to the joints near the fenders (it was inevitable) for this aspect to "glue" them,for now I will stop them with rubber bands

  6. I resume with the work update, it was the turn of the fenders, which I thought were easy to work and insert, I thought,
    probably the design of the fenders has undergone over time with the various re-editions and the withdrawal of the modification card and, more surely, the installation of the loops is different from the parts that on the fenders should fit together with them,so I brought back the pieces on the walnut board with a thickness of 4 mm,

    IMG_2970_1.JPG.46dc0552c1ff5eae2fa636fd65ad6e7c.JPG

    I only cut the edge and I brought back the various fenders on the sides checking that the drawing of the joints was a couple of millimeters apart, so I had to pick up the points of contact with the incintoni and work with the file, the situation seems very simple but in reality the correction of the pieces has engaged me for several hours, I have tried the pieces without gluing them

    IMG_2972_1.JPG.44fb07d27393d0f923cab29d6256fc5f.JPG

    IMG_2973_1.JPG.bc3c61075fbb9676fdff94e3a08eca5e.JPG

    only after having finished laying on both sides would I have thought of gluing them verifying the inclinations of the same that vary with respect to their positioning

  7. Hello Franco,

    you are continuing very well, the 70 pieces you are making are called in the Venetian dialect "baccalari" their shape resembles the wing of the seagull, they were fixed on the blanket in correspondence of the beams, (precisely alternating a beam yes and one no) they served for support the "posticcio" the beam on which there were the oarlocks oars,

    follow the "Fleur de Lis" monograph which is much more precise and detailed than Corel's drawings

    so keep it going well !!!

  8. After turning I made the hole on the bridge and I tried the bigger tree, the dimensions are considerable at the base is 13mm (75 cm) the height is greater than the length of the ship, it is said that this was one of the details of the Santa Maria "not appreciated" by Colombo himself (... it seems ...)IMG_2959_1.thumb.JPG.1d69b2bce12d81de1ff214ec1712c84f.JPG

    the "white" part at the top of the tree is a defect in photography, due to overexposure)

    IMG_2961_1.thumb.JPG.78b783b132a58d957041d2265a15e32a.JPG

    above, the ratio between the major shaft base diameter and the final element that enters the masthead hole

    IMG_2962_1.thumb.JPG.1fea8857f70c49d0a6a6da6673564640.JPG

    complete major tree detail

     

    and with this I greet you, I go to sleep

  9. You're right Cog, unfortunately as a seasoned wood I only have the walnut and cherry (in considerable quantities) I also have pear, apple and white maple but they will be seasoned in a year or so, I carry the photo of the maple that I "potato" in the garden of the house and which I partly seasoned with the intention of making 1 inch boards

    IMG_2955_1.thumb.JPG.41e89f62801de43a5f77941d2423b9d3.JPG

    timber that I would like to use for the next model that I plan to make

  10. An update of the work carried out,

    the next work was the realization of the major tree, the measurements are very high, both for the diameter and for height, so I thought of making it with four pieces of wood joined together, creating a "compound" tree

    so first I chose the table I would have used even if the choice was obligatory: walnut

    IMG_2933_1.thumb.JPG.671b3232bb557929d74cb0688cc07c61.JPG

     

    I cut the 8 mm strips and the continuations I joined them by obtaining a beam 16 mm wide

    IMG_2937_1.JPG.00723bea2df50d48de10fd2ee754c3bf.JPG

     

    to join them together I used an "L" shaped steel profile to avoid misalignments

    IMG_2940_1.JPG.a7bef97eab1eea593a07075c9af089cf.JPG

    but when I thought of using the lathe I realized that the piece was longer than the size that the lathe could work

    so I had to use a "manual" lathe using the drill and parts of the lathe that I can independently assemble on the work table

     

    IMG_2949_1.JPG.14735e8d7f34807be2be07f8c6725e3f.JPG

    allowing me to turn the "long" piece, (over 100 cm)

    IMG_2950_1.JPG.0380cbf92d00e7dcd094227a7f9f9568.JPG

     

    in the photo below, you see the upper part of the tree (three strips are visible, of the four, with different colors) the upper part will be removed later, the upper part (made with another strip) that must be inserted in the hole made in top of the tree, as shown in the drawing

    After laying the moldings I put the gunwale, always in walnut

    IMG_2921_1.JPG.f5f9dc04b76c798b888a8b9793f7906f.JPG

    always using strips of 5 cm to make the curvature (even if these of the main deck was necessary to make them with three parts, joined with simple interlocking, under the carryover the walnut board that I used to make the strips

    IMG_2924_1.JPG.6b5d79ba3fc67dcb2e8e5cf3862e3b29.JPG

    made with the "fet", (it is the walnut that was in the backyard, but four years ago a strong wind made him fall, and I made many tables for modeling, and with the trunk of the boards of 6 thickness cm, with which I made a large table, but this is another story ...)

    carryover of the photos with the finished gunwale

    IMG_2932_1.JPG.ae797403f1ab20c0ffb28ed9e0985e28.JPG

    it seems that the issues related to the loading of the images are finished, I have not found any problems, the system puts more time loading images, but it seems much more stable,

    see you next time

  12. "thank you for the likes",

    after finishing the internal moldings I started to make the external ones, to make them I had prepared a cardboard shape, the wood used is the walnut, are whole pieces to make them I had to make the walnut boards of 8cm x 1mm

    IMG_2914_1.JPG.4ec21fc460d46f6443db0170812b9c6c.JPG

     

    IMG_2916_1.JPG.4bab9641966f1752f85bd9d3a7b39a56.JPG

    as you can see I have brought the shape with the pencil and then I cut it out, positioning it on the wall connecting the whole profile

    of the ship

    IMG_2912_1.JPG.f07d5fcac390e9263ea64f79a1af2a38.JPG

    finished the first part I realized the other (the error system 200- in the insertion of the image, I try to insert it later)

    IMG_2915_1.JPG

  13. Still some updates on the work done on the caracca,

    the positioning of the foremast shaft, (always made of walnut)

    IMG_2888_1.thumb.JPG.6a1cde691b1236adec509b33af4ea4e9.JPG

    its inclination is towards the bow

    IMG_2891_1.JPG.59db9ef736d9f3fad53fb225fa0acd07.JPGAfter the tests, without gluing the tree, I continued with the plating inside the sides to finish the moldings of connection with the upper parts, specular to the external molding on which the gunwales is laid,

    IMG_2895_1.JPG.af4359116917862383bba790649dd48f.JPG

    with the pencil I bring the curvature, then I cut the interested part with the blade,

    IMG_2896_1.JPG.74b0700c929cfb7f637e4dc23259ca29.JPG

    to insert the part made using the templates, which were used to make the moldings

     

    IMG_2897_1.JPG.c64deced6fa807056d32fdeccf681135.JPG

    ending them on all sides of the boat

    see you soon

     

    black Wolf

  14. thank you, Patrick

    I'm happy if you follow the work,

     Steven,

    the image is a miniature taken from the French manuscript n. 6440, dedicated to the Zeeland family of De Vere, late 15th century.

    reported with a scanner from the book, I do not know if the English version exists, but I can assure you that it is very beautiful, with images of medieval paintings, that you would surely appreciate,

    eventually, you can translate the pages by doing the scans and using the translator as I often do,

    I have to run out "we'll hear" then

     

    Fabio

  15. Thank you Steven,

    interesting images related to the bomb, I agree with you for the wheels, usually the tips were placed on the crossbars, probably on the bombards from "earth" were present the wheels, report of images related to the culverin (bombardella) and a painting where is reported an armed battle between a carac and a battery on the ground of three bombards (with wheels) visible shooting operations conducted by a ballistic and a gunner (we hope that the translator translates "well")

    I have seen that you are also interested in the Genoese navy, lately I bought a very interesting book: La Marineria Genovese - from the Middle Ages to the Unification of Italy by Piero Campodonico,
    you report below the cover of the book (maybe if you're interested you can find it sau amazon)

    my nickname for the avatar is a black wolf, but my name is Fabio

     

    to hear from us
