Baker Posted February 27, 2017 Share #1 Posted February 27, 2017 The making of an early 17th century ship lantern writing English texts is not my best side. I hope that the photographs and the drawings are sufficient. Here's the method of how I made my lantern for my Wasa Billing Boats. A lantern of this type is also found on the Batavia replica. I have attached a pdf with a drawing Dimensions are in mm (1 millimeter = 0.0393700787 inches) schets lantaarn.pdf (Extra small details in plastic strip are applied on the lantern) Painting is gold and gun metal) The base came from lantern From Billing Boats eight volunteers from the 1/72 parts box ready Each question will be answered as good as possible Groetjes Greetings Tadeusz43, bluenose2, popeye2sea and 8 others 11 Quote Regards, Patrick Finished : Soleil Royal Heller 1/100 Wasa Billing Boats Bounty Revell 1/110 plastic (semi scratch) Pelican / Golden Hind 1/45 scratch Current build : Mary Rose 1/50 scratch große-jacht / Yacht D'Oro 1/50 Corel Gallery : Revell Bounty Pelican/Golden hind 1/45 scratch Shore leave, non ship models build logs : ADGZ M35 funkwagen 1/72 Einhets Pkw.

flying_dutchman2 Posted February 27, 2017 Share #2 Posted February 27, 2017 Beautiful (Heel Mooi). I like how you did the little head carvings. Marcus Baker and mtaylor 2 Quote 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).

S.Coleman Posted March 21, 2017 Share #4 Posted March 21, 2017 Extremely well done. Looks great. Thank you for sharing. I had done glass like this and scoured the lines representing the lead squares. After scouring the lines I coloured the pane with a black whiteboard marker and then simply wiped it off, Leaving the black ink to settle in the scour marks. Have you used this approach before? Beautiful workmanship. mtaylor 1 Quote Regards, Scott Current build: 1:75 Friesland, Mamoli Completed builds: 1:64 Rattlesnake, Mamoli - 1:64 HMS Bounty, Mamoli - 1:54 Adventure, Amati - 1:80 King of the Mississippi, AL 1:64 Blue Shadow, Mamoli - 1:64 Leida Dutch pleasure boat, Corel - 1:60 HMS President Mantra, Sergal Awaiting construction: 1:89 Hermione La Fayette AL - 1:48 Perserverance, Modelers shipyard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baker Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted March 21, 2017 Thanks for the positive comments. Have you used this approach before? Scott, No. This was my very first lantern on my first ship. It is made in plastic because I have most experience with this material from my military modeling But I remember this advice when I make a lantern for my Golden Hind. mtaylor 1 Quote Regards, Patrick Finished : Soleil Royal Heller 1/100 Wasa Billing Boats Bounty Revell 1/110 plastic (semi scratch) Pelican / Golden Hind 1/45 scratch Current build : Mary Rose 1/50 scratch große-jacht / Yacht D'Oro 1/50 Corel Gallery : Revell Bounty Pelican/Golden hind 1/45 scratch Shore leave, non ship models build logs : ADGZ M35 funkwagen 1/72 Einhets Pkw.
