Schrader Posted April 8, 2019 Share #1 Posted April 8, 2019 Hello all I want to share this construction log, about the Spanish Longboat, that could be converted to Falúa (Luxury Longboat for Officers). The plans have been developed by Isidro Rivera, well known spanish naval researcher, who has many papers, books and plans already published. I have the fortune to be in contact permanently with him, Jose Collado who is his partner in construction, and a bunch of really good guys, who are always, willing to help when I need it. I started the 17th of February and....... mtaylor, CaptainSteve, GrandpaPhil and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Pearse Posted April 9, 2019 Share #9 Posted April 9, 2019 Hello Helmut that must have been a difficult decision to rebuild, but looking good now. "Long" is no exaggeration, that's a very slim hull form. I have a couple of questions on the boats: what they were used for; & what is the hull the length - it appears to be around 11m from the drawing...? thanks Mark mtaylor 1 Quote completed 1:12 28' Ranger type yacht, scratch build - COMPLETED 1:12 20' 1930 open sailing boat, half model, scratch built - COMPLETED 1:12 24' Ranger type yacht, scratch build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrader Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share #10 Posted April 15, 2019 Here we are ...... During the week, I finally saw the light.. liked the wood color contrast. Since those are tropical woods, I had no idea how they would look like, after the danish oil. I really liked it. NOTE: The keel is in tropical mahogany which is more light and the hull is in tolua Last edited: 23 minutes ago mtaylor, GrandpaPhil, tkay11 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrader Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share #11 Posted April 15, 2019 The unmolding process was a little hard, but at the end, just one frame suffered a little bit The false frames mold..... ended its life time GrandpaPhil, mtaylor and Mike Y 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrader Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share #12 Posted April 15, 2019 Finally, copying the Jose Collado idea, I decided to work in the stern/officials floor. Introducing a Compass Rose. For this effect, I decided to go after a "parquet" method. 1. I took basswood and abarco. (tropical wood), and cut the triangles according with the mold 2. I arrange those triangles according to the mold 3. I glued them all 4. After, on a 1mm triplex I completed the floor with red cedar.... and this is the result tkay11, Captain Poison, paulsutcliffe and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schrader Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share #17 Posted May 6, 2019 Let's start with the stern benches. These have an special form. So I decided to build like a "mold" I duplicated them, creating a back support for the little placks.

Schrader Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share #19 Posted May 6, 2019 This "Falua" has a little shield in the back side of the rudder (?? is this the right word?). Its form is curved. So to fix it, I went attaching to pieces of basswood and made the cuts. With the cylinder sanding tool I gave it the curve form Attached to its place Mark Pearse, mtaylor, coxswain and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schrader Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share #22 Posted May 7, 2019 Hello all After reviewing the Compass Rose, i realized that: The color contrast is not good The size is going to be a problem in the future So....in the same way that this building process has been going I decided to repet it. With the same idea I install a liz flower in the back of the officers place As well as the bench floor frame CaptainSteve, coxswain, GrandpaPhil and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redshirt Posted May 7, 2019 Share #25 Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) Where can Mr. Rivera's plans be purchased? There isn't very much about spanish vessels in the usual (that is, english, french and german writing) sources and i would be quite interested in some good plans of the spanish navy.
