Bender Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share #92 Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) I painted the blades of the oars white. I coated the oars with satin poly and used a piece of scrap wood to hold all 59.

Bender Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share #97 Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) The boat kit that came with the Reale de France was one of the easiest ship's boat to build.

Bender Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share #99 Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) Before I attached the oars I needed to mount the ship to its permanent base, and because of all the oars sticking out I decided to build a case. The ship is rather large, and I didn't want the case to be any larger than needed. I attached two oars on each side and started measuring. 42.375 inches. (107.6 cm.) long. 18.875 inches. (47.94 cm.) from oar tip to oar tip. 28.75 inches. (75.57 cm.) to top of main yard and flag.

Bender Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share #100 Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) I used birch plywood for the base and poplar wood for the corners and top edges. This picture shows the clearance the oars tip has with the grove for the glass. I made three mount that fit the curve of the hull. Top edge and corner Bottom edge and corner Just for perspective. This is me. Edited April 8, 2014 by Bender hamilton 1 Quote AL http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/13516-ragusian-carrack-by-bender-marisstella-159/ Rebuilding Reale de France.

Bender Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share #101 Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) The oars: Each oar rests on top or a wear pad, and pivots against a "Thole-pin." To cut the 59 pins I cut brass rod a little longer than needed. I cut a piece of scrap wood to the thickness equal to the length I needed for the pins and drilled 59 holes. I inserted the brass pins into the holes so that a little stuck out on each side. I then used a belt sander to sand off the brass the protruded from the piece of wood. I ended up with 59 brass pins of equal length. Clamping the wear pads. All of this was dune before any of the rigging. Also before the rigging I attached the gun mounts. This caused an unforeseen problem. The wrap of string I used to tie the reforcement battens to the oars would not fit between the bottom rail of the hand rail and the wear pad. On some of the oars I could push the oar under the handrail ahead of the wear pad and then slide it backwards in place, but the vertical post for the hand rail was in the way for every-other oars. That was thirty oars that would not slide in place. The gun mounts were in the way of twelve more oars, so only 17 oars slipped into place. I ended up needing to remove the wrap of strip on 42 oars. I had used super glue on the knots, but the oars had already been coated with poly. After a bit of wiggling and prying the wrap of string came off and--because of the super glue--help its shaped. After I pushed the oar between the bottom rail of the handrail and the wear pad I was able to slide the wrap of string back into position.
