amateur Posted June 10, 2013 #91 Posted June 10, 2013 That would be great! If the scale is not in the 1:48 range, I would certainly consider buying. There is a set of drawings around from the Lelystad Werf were they do the replica (Drazen is using that set for building is model of the ZP) btw: this painting is also coming from Lelystad, it is an artist impression of the replica afloat.

amateur Posted June 13, 2013 #93 Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) I still don't understand why mamoli has installed rubbing strakes on the hull. It is completely 'undutch'.... Nevertheless: she's turning into a nice lady! Jan Edited June 13, 2013 by amateur Quote

greatgalleons Posted June 22, 2013 Author #99 Posted June 22, 2013 I've made the rigging blocks out of 2mm square wood for the canons since the supply provided in the kit are a bit larger and are only used for the standing rigging. hamilton and Ferit 2 Quote

Alfonse Posted November 12, 2013 #111 Posted November 12, 2013 Hello, I know this may be a bit late, but could you please explain, with photos if possible, or even drawings, how you were able to make all those "diamond" cuts so symmetrical, and precise? Also, if you don't mind, the gratings on the first level seem to pop out of the deck, but you have the borders somehow tapered as you reach the grating. Again, photos would be great. Appreciative and desperate novice. Many thanks. Quote
amateur Posted November 12, 2013 #112 Posted November 12, 2013 (edited) Which cuts do you mean, actually? Those oval shaped 'holes' in the stern are made by Mamoli. The gratings are glued on to the deck, and a small strip of wood (slightly thicker than the deck planking is glued around them. The gratings themseleves are build up from prefabricated (by Mamoli) strips of wood. Jan Edited November 12, 2013 by amateur Quote
demonborger Posted November 12, 2013 #113 Posted November 12, 2013 How do you get your gold decoration to look so shiny? Quote Kits owned: Mamoli Royal Louis, Mamoli Friesland, Mamoli HMS Victory 1:90, Occre Santisima Trinidad, Constructo HMS Prince
Alfonse Posted November 12, 2013 #114 Posted November 12, 2013 Thanks for your response. The "diamond" cuts I'm talking about are the triangular looking cuts made at the tips of most standing columns. If you look at Mamoli's instructions for the Friesland page 2, it is shown as part number 46, figure 10. Thanks. Quote
Alfonse Posted November 12, 2013 #115 Posted November 12, 2013 Figure 40.jpg in your blog is a great example of what I'm asking about. I believe it is called a diamond cut because, the tip of the column actually looks like a big diamond. Thanks again. Quote
greatgalleons Posted November 12, 2013 Author #116 Posted November 12, 2013 Hello Alfonse, I actually just filed down the ends of each square piece with a fine metal file until they all matched then glued the pieces together to make one piece overall, then I drilled holes in the bottoms to place a small metal nail and to fix to the deck. The grating on the main deck is supposed to be flush with the deck also just like the upper decks, I chose to raise them a little, just a personal touch. Quote
Alfonse Posted November 13, 2013 #117 Posted November 13, 2013 Many thanks. Excellent work. My build never looks this clean. I guess I should use a bit less glue. Quote
Steve J Posted November 16, 2013 #118 Posted November 16, 2013 Hi Greatgalleons, I got my Friesland kit recently and have started to work in it. It's only my second build, so I'll be relying heavily on your posts to guide me along. The quarter galleries look especially challenging. Mamoli has made some changes to the kit because the first thing I checked were the lower deck cannons, and they appear to be the correct length. There may be other improvements but I don't know yet. The one obvious disappointment is that the mast dowels are not made of walnut but some light wood that I'll have to stain, although I'll probably just buy some walnut dowels. At any rate, keep the posts, especially the pictures, coming. If my build comes out looking anything like yours I'll be extremely happy. Steve J Quote
greatgalleons Posted November 30, 2013 Author #119 Posted November 30, 2013 I do not have any recent photos of this kit build because I was offered a price I could not refuse for the finished hull. I would have liked to have finished it with the mast and rigging. It was always intended to be for sale, but not so soon. I do not usually get into the mast, spar and rigging in my logs because I figure square rigging is common knowledge among ship modelers. I mainly focus on hull construction. Quote
Steve J Posted December 1, 2013 #120 Posted December 1, 2013 I'm really disappointed that there won't be any more updates to your build, but I don't blame you for taking the money. I would, however, like to follow up on a couple of items: how do you make the ornamentation look so nice and shiny, and what is JB Weld, the stuff you use to attach the ornamentation? Where can I get it? Many thanks for your excellent posts and pictures. I'll miss the updates. Steve J Quote
