Anja Posted May 18, 2013 Share #32 Posted May 18, 2013 Hello Giorgos, I just saw your model on your Greek site Naftotopos. Really looking forward to your update here as well. Take care, Anja Quote Those we loved but lost are no longer where they were, but are always where we are.

Giorgos Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share #33 Posted May 19, 2013 Anja, you caught me... Yes the model is already built and is exhibited in 3w.naftotopos.gr. I'm just transferring here the English version of that built log and that's why the fast work, that some mates have noticed. Thank you all and I hope your interest, won't be affected by this revelation… Ok. Back to the model, I took it out of the jig and I placed two more stringers at each side of the hull. By this way the construction became stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgos Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share #34 Posted May 19, 2013 Starting the first planking, I placed the first on each side plank and at the level of gunwales. At this point I decided to leave the small balks at their positions, between the frames, so I shaped them properly. Then, from inside the hull, I placed a plank on them and so they were covered. Thank you aykutansin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgos Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share #38 Posted May 24, 2013 (edited) Hi all. @ Mark, I don't know how someone could be defined as "speed builder", but since the matter of time has been set, I have build this model within 120 days… Ok Some more fast work, since last time… I placed the gunwales on topsides and the second plank of the first planking. Before I start placing planks at the keel, I couldn't resist to shape the "limber holes" on the floors. Then I was ready to go with the planking, to the end of it… Thank you Edited May 24, 2013 by Giorgos aykutansin, Anja and Piet 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgos Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share #40 Posted May 28, 2013 Hi. After the first planking I built the second one, using acer saccharum wood. I painted the sides of the planks with white color in order to make the caulking of the hull, more visible after the final painting. At this stage I made also some metal work, on bow and stern post.

Giorgos Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share #41 Posted May 28, 2013 Reaching the time to be dealing with the inner of the boat, I thought that some sketches bases on book descriptions, would be helpful... Then I built the seats for the oarsmen and the beams for the covered part of the stern. Thanks Anja and aykutansin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgos Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share #43 Posted June 1, 2013 Hi. The inner arrangement combined with the decoration, was a matter I had to paid attention. These elements would highlight the specificity along with the character of the vessel. Besides the decoration outside the bow and the stern post, there was an inner counter and some unusual shaped and decorated, bitts. Once again some drawings were considered needed. From the paper to the wood... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgos Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share #49 Posted June 3, 2013 According to the book but also from other sources, beneath the seats of the oarsmen, there were removable balks. These balks were used to step on them while they were rowing, taking some help to this effort. So I had to build them….

Giorgos Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share #51 Posted June 8, 2013 I reached the point to deal with the oars. The vessel didn’t have the usual rudder with the tiller, but it was handled by another oar, attached at the stern. The ends of the oars was shaped in a particular form, that I suppose, were giving the maximum result. (It reminded me duck's foot...! ) Anja, aykutansin and mtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgos Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share #52 Posted June 8, 2013 I think I haven’t mentioned it but most of the small items were not glued in their final position and that because I wanted to painted them easily…… The colors were chosen according to the descriptions of the book, photos of same vessels of our days and my own aesthetic…. I think next post should be the last one with the vessel completed… Thanks mtaylor, aykutansin, cristikc and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popeye the sailor Posted June 9, 2013 Share #53 Posted June 9, 2013 very nice work Giorgos....your oars look awesome. I tried my hand at making some........I ended up making about 30 of them, to come up with four that looked alike. the paint must have been a pain........you mastered it quite well.

Giorgos Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share #54 Posted June 11, 2013 Reaching the end of this built log, at first I would like to thank all of you who had the kindness to follow me in this journey and certainly the MSW.com for its hospitality. I would like to thank also the team of 3w.naftotopos.gr for their support and the information that they provided me to accomplish this model. Finally I would like to thank Thanasis who made this presentation and gave me the chance to show you some of the past of my country. I named the model “Antigone” ( the name of the Island, of Princes' Islands) and I devote this model to the author of the book Mr Akila Mila but also to those unknown fishermen, who by serving these boats, they were composing part of our Naval tradition.
