How are you going to apply the distinctive white striping? Jan Dear Jan. That's true, i don't like painting. In the model i'm planning on using only wwood. The only element i'll apply paint to is the top of the mast. Regarding the white stripes - i'll figure something out.

KORTES Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share #122 Posted December 13, 2018 20 hours ago, wefalck said: 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. I completely agree with you. That's the way i'm planning on proceeding with my wwork. I brushed up this technique while working on La Jacinthe. My best regards. BETAQDAVE and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wefalck Posted December 13, 2018 Share #123 Posted December 13, 2018 Unless some of the mouldings are painted white, one could cut thin stripes from water-transfers (decals) or buy such stripes, if available in your part of the world.

Clean looking as well Marcus Keith Black and mtaylor 2 Quote Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J. Tasman Unofficial motto of the VOC: "God is good, but trade is better" 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).

KORTES Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share #140 Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) Thank you very much Valeriy. I solder with an ordinary solder, i bouught it in radio-store. I wanted to use only steel, for more authenticity, and as you have probably noticed already all big element were made from nails of different caliber and iron plates. But i think i won't be able to do without latten in the future. I would like to express my admiration of Your soldering skills, I'm a freshman compared to You. Respectfully yours.
