Thaks for the nice comments. Making this figurehead was so much fun that I finished it first.
 

First an idea of what i should become

NIce indeed Patrick - looks like a  perfect 16th Century art work.

 

I will also attempt a first dragon head carving for my Viking project coming up - New learning for both of us -- very nice first attempt  :imNotWorthy:

  • 2 weeks later...

Most of my time the last few weeks has gone to installing a new laptop.
The old laptop hadn't survived a fatal upgrade to windows 10.
And considering I'm no IT specialist , complete installation of the new laptop takes a while ...

 

Building the staghorns

The staghors were first completed and then glued on the model.

 

In total there are 10

4 at the waist

4 on the half deck

2 at the fore castle (to be placed later)

The places where they are provided are based on these drawings.

after drying cut loose

IMG_20200409_182548.thumb.jpg.c117d24872424b78a1e497710ce741b9.jpgIMG_20200411_163017.thumb.jpg.a59fcd7a60fa0316eae703002a969c05.jpgIMG_20200419_154834.thumb.jpg.2f4f96115dce200b8569bcc3ae0ab7af.jpgIMG_20200419_154846.thumb.jpg.0f776561c88b4340d9cc884b6adcf287.jpgIMG_20200422_193430.thumb.jpg.a3681eb7c8fb448cdf9c6c543dc524a9.jpg

Meanwhile, the construction of 2 pumps has started.

Again many questions. On which deck, how much and where do I place them.

 

Which deck?  The deck below this deck is expected to drain  water to the hold. Therefore, the pumps are on this deck at the waist / rear castle.

How much ?   Probably 1 or 2. Because we anticipate a long unknown journey. This Pelican gets 2.

Where? Normally behind the main mast close to the center of the deck.

 

The pumpshafts should be (visible) on the lower deck. 

But to be able to drill holes , I will have to remove part of the deck from the rear castle (small construction error :default_wallbash:).

These pumps will be glued to the deck later. If I place them now, they'll get in the way of the knighthead and I'll get in trouble later.

Patrick, 

I like your staghorns and especially the pumps.  I know that my Zeehaen needs a lot of the staghorns and a few of the pumps. 

 

Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J. Tasman

 

Unofficial motto of the VOC: "God is good, but trade is better"

 

Many people believe that Captain J. Cook discovered Australia in 1770. They tend to forget that Dutch mariner Willem Janszoon landed on Australia’s northern coast in 1606. Cook never even sighted the coast of Western Australia).

Those pumps worked very well, Patrick. They are perfectly round, and that without using a lathe!

They were rounded with a very poor man lathe (a knive, a file and sandpaper)

I should invest in some better material.  But ... space, space. no space left to install it

The staghors came from the Duyfken replica . The pumps are from the Batavia and Duyfken replica

It looks that on Windows 10 everything should work through paid micro$oft programs. That's my problem...
Ps,
Most things on the lapotop already work back (for free).

Finishing the pumps. 

As said, the pumps of the Batavia and Duyfken replicas served as an example.

 

A hole is drilled in the centre of the pump. This is where the metal wire comes in that is attached to the pump arm

IMG_20200424_191710.thumb.jpg.aa7f2663646b8aa08da8a45dfee53373.jpg

A plastic disc is glued to the base of each pump. Around the base is tissue paper glued with CA glue IMG_20200425_154503.thumb.jpg.9a9c06cc6619e4500c07f9bd102d2480.jpg

Pumps painted. The basis is a kind of seal between the pump and the deck (source Duyfken Replica)

IMG_20200425_192240.thumb.jpg.a178cc5f010e78304a6888c20ae551e3.jpgIMG_20200425_192256.thumb.jpg.8cf1788a15aca01989470c1e90c9c41d.jpg

Ther is no outlet  on the side of the pumps like on my "modern" pump.  Reason, they do not serve to pump clean water into a bucket. But to pump dirty water out of  the hold.

IMG_20200426_102927.thumb.jpg.891a8353125112989db67a2bd6c2ef7d.jpg

Pumps dry fitted in place.  2 options.

 

option 1IMG_20200425_191941.thumb.jpg.9d27e5dcaac24111988db7f67d6d4570.jpg

 

option 2

IMG_20200426_095201.thumb.jpg.64e43aaf7e4633dad309ab9a5dd3fc7c.jpg

For the moment, i go for option 2

And a few weeks ago i sawed wood for masts and spars

IMG_20200404_164254.thumb.jpg.35e7a5e50ef51abf6b7abace284a7005.jpgIMG_20200425_194951.thumb.jpg.237a71bee03b9412bc450f9b47f0416a.jpg

Before i install the fore castle i have to decide where the shrouds of the fore mast come, and how much.

 

Some info about the lengts of mast early 17th centuryIMG_20200425_170731.thumb.jpg.8bde38c893dddc101a94554c7ee9e7c3.jpg

And it seems that the lower part of the main and fore masts are about the same height on level

IMG_20200425_170702.thumb.jpg.3b7d464f25c8c232bb32273f216e15ef.jpg

The number of shrouds on the fore mast also varies a lot (between 3 and 6)

IMG_20200425_184739.thumb.jpg.ac8492f3a3e293142416fe82cd854427.jpg
Determine mast length in relation to the deck. The fore mast is a little bit shorter than the main mast.
The angle to the deck also varied greatly. From right-angled to strongly bending forwardIMG_20200425_170832.thumb.jpg.6c56f7a27759e33db7f51eeee3deff15.jpg

IMG_20200425_194842.thumb.jpg.52d86ea0bd31a6f2c1c264ea81f30d5b.jpg
5 is to much,  when we fire the cannon, we will do more damage to our own rigging than to the opponent.

IMG_20200425_194800.thumb.jpg.ca320aa3c6b569e0183913cf7a70521f.jpg

4 is better, where one enters the ratlines (on the forecastle) the distance between the shrouds is already much narrower.

All grooves for the shrouds are made.

A lot of work to determine the position of 8 grooves.

Reminders with the necessary dimensions

The fore castle

Especially on Spanish galleons, this, together with the rearcastle, was one of the most important defenses of the ship.

In function of boarding an enemy ship and defending one's own ship. Usually it was custom to give 1 salvo with the ship cannons and then board the enemy ship with the well equipped and trained Spanish foot soldiers.

The English began to develop a different strategy over time. Better placed cannons that fired several salvo's.

Different strategies.

 

The interior of the fore castle.  Since the cannons and most other items have already been made, this goes quite smoothly.

And first I make a layout of the deck (approximately).

On some merchants the galley was sometimes placed in the fore castle . For hygiene reasons (even as early as the 16th century).

Because this is not a real warship, but more of a (heavily) armed merchant ship. There will be some kind of small cooking place in the forecastle.

A 16th century "cooking stove".


Only 2 things are maybe correct Made of bricks and it can be placed in the fore castle.
Everything else is my own guesswork.

A brick construction on a moving wooden ship, I think, should be reinforced with wood and or iron. Otherwise, the construction will not last long.


Plastic sheet is the material i use.

Patrick,

 

Your stove is as rkwz just mentioned - indeed it is.

PS: As you certainly know model train suppliers also have sheets and "what not" that simulate brick. No need to do all of that excellent prep work...

though possibly not to the scale that you needed. Oh  I assume even back then bricks were the medium used to make ovens.

and ---- BTW your bullet shell casing buckets are in my memory banks

Cheers,

 

Michael

Superb work on this "cooking stove". Ready for a "grillade-party" 😀

I really love the paint job and the result is really great !

Thanks everyone for the nice comments.

 

Brick walls can indeed just be bought. But my model shop in the city of Antwerp is closed because of Corona.
And actually the build of the stove was not that much work. Building about 1 h and painting 30 minutes.


Installing the stoove on the model took the longest time.

 

Removable grating will be provided later.

 

After the corona lock out,  BBQ on the ship for all members. :champagne-2:
(Does anyone have a shrink machine to make us all 45 times smaller?)

No but you could take it out and pump it to the right size for a BBQ

 

Very realistic Patrick. Don't hurt your back  moving the ship with the additional weight

Hello everyone. Work in progress, update


Further work on the interior and the pots and pans of the chef.

Some brass cooking pots 
Metal pans (actually a panther wheel and a copula of Russian armed car).

A Ladder.
And of course firewood.

IMG_20200506_192555.thumb.jpg.afa0492d95a6167a26dfe3d57257ba1a.jpgIMG_20200510_164943.thumb.jpg.936bee619ee85ad66a23884fdafbb19f.jpg

And the planking of the deck. The deck planking was more work than expected.  

An example of a forecastle with some kind of grating.

While thinking about making the masts. I went looking for a wood lathe.

There are lathes for a reasonable price. New or second-hand.

 

But why don't I try to make one myself. Can't be that difficult. I thought
So all my spare time on the weekend is spent in a self-made lathe.

Ingredients
A drill.
Part of my worn out drill.
aluminium profile.
Bolts, nuts and screws.
Time...

 

And, to my own surprise, it worked. :Whew:

Mizzen, main, foremast and bowsprit.
Dry fitted (all still too long and not at the right angle)

I made mine almost the same, a bit lighter though, and bought a spinning centre for a lathe

It seems I didn't put it back on in the jigs section after the crash on MSW 1.0. Thanks for showing, now I know how I can add a rest for the chisel
