My greetings, Dave. There's no point in coating with varnish the model as the functional yahts. The more so, it is considered bad form in the region where i live, the shine has to be matted. So, as uasually I plan on covering it wwith tung oil or linen oil. My best regards. BETAQDAVE and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted December 12, 2018 Share #96 Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) Although a boeier that does not shine like a mirror is considered to be ‘a bit neglected’ . modelling standards and ship-standards clearly no not coincide are the leeboards flat, or do they have a curved profile? jan Edited December 12, 2018 by amateur BETAQDAVE, mtaylor and KORTES 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted December 12, 2018 Share #97 Posted December 12, 2018 Btw make sure the bolt is in the correct place: it is slightly below the centerline of the leenord, not on the centerline. this image shows a drawing of a portside leeboard of a friese boeier (drawing downloaded from maritiem digitaal), newer than Sperwer, but valud for almost all boeiers, i guess) Jan mtaylor, wefalck, Keith Black and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amateur Posted December 12, 2018 Share #105 Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) What do you mean? The foto is exactly like the drawing: the bolt is just below the mid-line of the leeboard, there is only one difference: the number of planks used: 8 in the drawing, 7 in the leeboard of the sperwer. the curvature of the leeboard is too small to be seen in the picture.

amateur Posted December 12, 2018 Share #107 Posted December 12, 2018 @Marcus, the only one I am aware of is the navy-archive, that has almost all pre-wwII ships on line (in very high definition, and lots of detail drawings. next to that is maritiem-digitaal, but most of that is low-resolution, small sized (like the one of the leeboard, posted above). Apart from that, I do not know of anything..... Jan mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted December 12, 2018 Share #108 Posted December 12, 2018 Hi Kortes, nice tiller. When the tiller is completely to the left or right, does it stay clear from the bulkhead? Very ofthe the tiller has a very subtle curve upwwrd, just to make sure that it does not touch the bulkhead. Do you also plan to add the eyesbolts to attach the flagpole to the rudder?

wefalck Posted December 12, 2018 Share #109 Posted December 12, 2018 Marcus, I believe 'maritiem digital' is a sort of portal through which one have access to (some) material from various museums, including, I think, Rotterdam. I have not looked at it for some time though. Concerning the varnishing, I found this always a bit garish on the Dutch boats that have been converted into yachts. Must be some sort of fashion, but in reality doesn't say anything about the quality of maintenance. A thick layer of varnish on a model too looks much like a cheap souvenir model, where also 'glossy' seems to be taken as a sign of quality. I gather something a bit more glossy than satin would be right. Personally, I would apply some cellulose-based woodfiller, rub this down with very fine (0000) steel-wool and then polish with a felt-wheel in a power-drill. On the hard wood you used this should give a nice sheen whithout adding a perceptible layer of varnish. mtaylor, druxey and Keith Black 3 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality of the pictures differs between the museums, and there is no way to order high quality copies of the pictures/foto's/drawings shown. But as the museums have invested in this system,they have no own database/ordering system (the fries museum being an exception, but even there is no download-option/ordering option) Jan BETAQDAVE and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
