I like the look of your metalwork.

(and of course, but that goes without saying, the quality of your woodwork  :) )

Thanks Jan,

I think that I am only an 'amateur' in metalwork. I have seen craftsmanship af a much higher standard on this forum.

Ik gebruik Birchwood Casey Brass Black om messing te zwarten. Ook gebruikt door wapensmeden.

 

Keep on modelling ...

Thanks for your input, Marc. Where do you buy it?

In the shrimp cooking store stands the shrimp cooking-furnace. The furnace is made in a similar manner as the stove of the crew shelter (post 9.8 -9.11), using a wooden cylinder and cardboard.

Part 13: Making the rudder.

13.1

The rudder is made of three oak planks, the main piece and two after pieces. Because the main piece is thicker than the after pieces. I lay a small sheet of brass of half the thickness difference below the after piece planks to glue them together. I lay also a similar brass sheet on top of the whole to put some pressure on it while the glue is drying.

Nice build GL.

It looks very much like the British smack.

 

You have a challenge in that you work with pine and oak, but I think you manage very well. The deck looks excellent.

Happy modelling!

Håkan

Thank You Hakan,

The 'Ostend shipje' has some similarity with the British smack, but it is only half the size of it. Flemish fishermen who evaded to Great Brittan during the 1st World War got acquainted with the smack and introduced the type in Belgium after the war. I have somewhere a smack cross section project on the shelf, but have to finish first my HMS Triton cross section.
