Your boeier yacht becomes a real beauty. My greetings dear Geert. This element of carving was made using nothing but incisor. For the finish processing I had to surface it using a wooden toothpick, fastened by microdrill. My best regards. Happy New Year! G.L., BETAQDAVE and mtaylor 3 Quote
KORTES Posted December 30, 2018 Author #212 Posted December 30, 2018 3 hours ago, Valeriy V said: Alexander is an interesting solution using plastic. Why didn't you use black paper? My greetings dear Valeriy I haven’t worked with paper, although I have been reading a lot about it. Time ago I picked from several variations of caulking imitation, and chose this technology and from that time on I have been using only it. For several reasons – plastic can be surfaced and scraped very well in final polishing of the deck covering. And secondly, to my point of view, it resembles better the seal of joints on the deck. And thirdly, on these ships joints are very wide and paper imitation wouldn’t work. Even plastic had to be glued in two layers.

flying_dutchman2 Posted December 30, 2018 #214 Posted December 30, 2018 Kortes, The Sperwer is coming along nicely. Everything of the pilot house (kajuit) is beautifully executed.

cog Posted December 30, 2018 #216 Posted December 30, 2018 I was wondering too why you didn't use paper, but you have clearified that. The bond between the wood and the plastic will be much stronger than the one when using paper. The only thing is, I would rather use a dark grey than black on a scale model Baker, mtaylor and BETAQDAVE 3 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

vossiewulf Posted January 11, 2019 #238 Posted January 11, 2019 Beautiful work Kortes. These are very odd boats- hull turned almost into a circle, everything on the hull is sweeping curves whether it makes sense or not, but then we come to a bowsprit that is stark square-sectioned black iron with solid iron bar stays, it's like a section of prison wall bolted to the bow mtaylor, Doreltomin, Keith Black and 4 others 7 Quote Building HM Cutter Lady Nelson 1:64
amateur Posted January 11, 2019 #239 Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) HiVossie, it is even weirder: the botteloef is not a bowsprit in a normal way. Therefore, next to this botteloef (and its extension 'opsteker'), these ships often had a separate boom as bowsprit. the botteloef is intended to have the fore sail forward as much as possible, as that improves sailing qualities. (And that is also the reason that some owners had the botteloef extended using such an opsteker: getting the fore sail even further forward. ) Jan Edited January 11, 2019 by amateur Keith Black, mtaylor, druxey and 5 others 8 Quote
