Another nice model! Remind us, what scale is this one in?

Very nice details on this three-island-steamer. Wayne's book is full of inspirations. The good thing about the 1920s is that there are a lot of contemporary textbooks on shipbuilding and ship details available.

Xavier,

Yes, I do have the book. It contains numerous images and detail-drawings, but only one set of lines-drawings for an Ever of 1910.

Of course, the text contains an abundance of historical information and I suspect that most modern authors have drawn on this. The Museum in Altona (Hamburg) also offers copies of lines-drawings that are in their holdings.

Ahh, he turns them out faster than we can click to the next page ...

Where did you get the information and the drawings from? The classical book on them (in German) is:

SZYMANSKI, H. (1932): Der Ever der Niederelbe. Ein Beitrag zur Geschichte der deutschen Schiffahrt und zur Volkskunde Niedersachsens.- Hans. Geschichtsver., Quellen u. Darst. z. hansischen Gesch., N.F., Bd. IX: 410 p., Lübeck.

The museum in Hamburg-Altona has a 1:2 scale model that was build in the early 1900s for a big fisheries exhibition in Berlin:

Nice historic detail on the flag. I was first surprised that it had the Hamburg flag and not the Danebrog, which would have to be flown by Blankenese craft before 1864.

It was a pleasure to follow along the research and construction process 👍🏻

It was a pleasure to follow along the research and then the construction process 👍🏻

Paper and card as modelling materials seem to be very well adapted to this somewhat rough kind of ships 👍🏻

Keep them coming!

A nice model and an interesting idea for the presentation 👍🏻

I have a bit of weak spot for those pacific craft and have built a couple of models of Micronesian craft.

Indeed, a fine model and very well-animated crew!

At 1:48 scale it must be almost beyond private home-size ...

I like those small sloop- or cutter-rigged ships and such tiny models.

Seems like a nice model, but on most pictures the hull is barely discerible from the dark base-board ... do you have Photoshops or something similar in which you can lighten the shaddows? That would help.

I have some interest in this ship, as her sister was sold to the Prussian government because Napoleon III forbid her sale to the Confederates in 1864. She was second iron-clad in the young Prussian navy, but they were not happy with her, as Armand Fréres cobbled her together quite quickly (not to say shoddily) in order to profit from the American Civil War.  

Very nice model indeed and I love those sail/steam transition period ships and iron-clads.

When I looked at the pictures, I immediately thought of the French style of warships from the 1860s/70s with their very pronounced ram and the date of 1898 puzzled me. Looking further down the row of the pictures I also noticed the old-style wooden carriage slides for the guns, which would have been very anachronistic in 1898.

So I did a quick search on the Internet to confirm my suspicion: I think you built the KÕTESTU ex CSS STONEWALL from 1864!  The AZUMA of 1898 looks rather different with three funnels:

For comparison the CSS STONEWALL:

Where did you get the detailed drawings from ?

Javier, this is a wonderful little model! They are getting better and better!

The shape of these Dutch boats is a particular challenge to plank. Did you do it in your usual fashion?

Saludos,

Eberhard

Ahh, another Baron - very nice indeed.

How many of those little model did you do by now?

Nice model indeed!

Somehow I missed that museum when I visited Pisa a few years ago 🤨

Beautiful little model indeed!

I was not aware of this type of Portuguese vessel. What is striking is this mixture of 18th (e.g. galion) and late 19th century (e.g. sail-plan) feastures, and the mixture of Dutch and Portuguese features.

Followed the building process in the ModelWarShip-forum and it is indeed a very nice rendering of an unusual subject - love these working ships that keep the more spectacular ones running and our coasts safe!

What scale is this one?

Beautiful as always !

I didn't realise how big the prototype was until I read the description ... a figurine or something like this to give the scale would have been useful here. Nine metre long oars !

Nice rendering of an unsual subject !

This kind of steering with ropes on a yoke is unusual and mainly seen on Arab craft and today on sports rowing boats.

Nice model of a Marker Botter in summer-rig! What scale is it in?

One of the most important ports from which they operated was missing from your list: Volendam.

The Zuiderzeemuseum in Enkhuizen has a couple of them in preservation: https://www.maritima-et-mechanika.org/maritime/zuiderzee/zuiderzee.html

Nice model of a rather rarely modelled prototype.

Is it still in 1:150 scale ?

Ahh, another Baron 👍

Again, it is quite impressive, what can be done with cardbord and paper ... what scale is she actuall in ?
