Congratulations Rao, I did not expect that this model turn out so nice and will have so much detail. great job Matija -
Rick, I'm glad that you like my Bluenose. Dories is made on a wooden mold and I glue wooden Planks. After that I glued frames inside. Here are some photos. If you need more description, just ask. I have a good draft of Dory that can give way if you need. also I wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Matija

Thank you Bruno, Rao and everyone for interest and comments. Row, I use the thinnest black paper that I found. I do not know which is weight of paper, I found it in a flower shop, used for packing flowers when buying. May be helpful graphite (art shops) gave a good result, just paint over. Glue is normally for wood (Pattex Wood Express) ... and everything is going very slowly . ... I can only dream of sailing on such ships and "Kelpie" looks superb. regards, Matija. this is elusive

Thank you all for following my log. I want to make a model as faithfully as possible to the original and color (wood structure) of the deck is of great importance. I am most worried about making metal parts that are quite challenging. - Michael, if you will making the Pen Duick you will be unsurpassed. SailorGreg, once when I finish this model I want to do Velox ex "Zemajteij", a beautiful ship. Matija

Thanks to all, this deck now should be ok. For space between the planks I use very thin black paper that taping on the plank before installation. Plank is 2.4 wx 3 H and then sanding it about 1mm. Then you get very clean and sharp effect. new deck: This is the current status. Now I'll placed pictures more slowly.. I think the color of wood is fine and for now I'm satisfied. greeting , Matija

I started making Pen Duick a few years ago and I had long break. Now I am making the deck, and I will show pictures from the beginning. Pen Duick was named since 1935, is a cutter drawn in 1898 by William Fife III, famous naval architect, and built in Ireland under the name of Yum. With an overall length of 15.1 m and 10 m to the floating for 2.9 m of maximum width, it supports 160 m2 of sails. Since 1938, Eric Tabarly sailed on the Penduick bought by his father. The Penduick was restored a first time in 1958, to reinforce the hull by a thickness of polyester, then was rebuilt completely between 1983 and 1989. The mast is raised 20%. She remains one of the most beautiful classical sailing ships. drawings: differences between Yum & pen Duick: Images of the ship: Pen Duick sailing - (scan from the book) The scale is 1:20 The hull is made of wood - plywood ribs, maple, coated with epoxy resin. Deck is made of pear wood, more shades. Cheers, Matija.

Thanks Elia, I'm glad that you like my work (and to everyone else who likes). Dories were difficult to make, I made them a total of twenty until I got a satisfactory appearance. Bluenose is currently displayed at the national competition ship modelers in Rijeka / Croatia. It is located in the city center in the window: Otherwise, waiting for a new owner from Germany come get her. The future owner has prepared a large glass box (approximately L120x W30 xH110 cm). Sails of paper to verify the dimensions: Finished sails: Cheers, Matija. next: details of the finished model

Longboat by Rao A.L.G. - FINISHED
Mfelinger replied to Rao A.L.G.'s topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Rao, Respecting proportions, my opinion is that there are too many seats. Imagine the actual size and see Can people sit. Otherwise I like the model is beautiful and made clean, nice work. Some picture of the boat (according to Michael), would help. Matija -
Elia, thanks to your likes. When I compare your Schooner Arethusa, the more I like your way of working. Your work is neat and correct, I would love to be achieved, am a bit jealous. According to what I seen, Schooner were similar in the making of certain parts. In preparing I used the excellent book: The American Fishing Schooners: 1825-1935 By Howard Chapelle. If there is any detail or information regarding the model, I am available. Cheers, Matija
