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)

(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

Beautiful (Heel Mooi).  I like how you did the little head carvings.

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).

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. 

Regards, Scott

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.
