Hermione La Fayette by TheDutchShipBuilder - Artesania Latina - second wooden ship built


Recommended Posts

Update

Hi everyone,

 

It's been a while since my last update. Despite the nice wheather here in Holland and the fact that I had holiday, I couldn't do much on the ship :( 

This because several reasons: I did go on vacation to Vianden, Luxemburg, I visited the Batavia in Lelystad, and I did several other things.

 

Meanwhile I did manage to complete the workbench. Because the wood wasn't looking very nice, I did varnish it. I also bought a smaller mat to cut on. And as you can see on the photo's below I did put some leather on some places in the workbench/toolcase. 

 

And as promised here are the photo's  :D:

I'm very glad with it. Its very usefull. All my tools can fit into it, so I can carry them around very easily. 

 

My school begins tomorrow. but like last year I will do some small things.

I will let you know what I've done ;)

Nick :cheers:

That's a nice little workbench there Nick.  The ship is looking pretty nice as well.  I think at your age I was probably making terrible plastic airplane models (my work was terrible, not that plastic model airplanes are terrible), so it's great to see such nice and patient work you are doing.

Hello everyone!,

Haven't posted a update for a while. I was very busy with school and other things. 

But I have now a week holiday so I did some things on the ship again.

 

There are lines between the planks of the deck. I don't know how they are called in english, but I tried to make them with paint on the side of the planks. The result was dissapointing. So I tried to make them nicer with lead pencil, and it worked!   :D 

 

I did also do some things on the gun ports. Here is the result:

I hope to do some more, but otherwise there will not be a update for a while (because of school  ;) )

Hello everyone,

 

It has been a while since my last update. 

I have gone to a meeting with other moddelers here in the Netherlands. Here I got some great tips on my cannons and I started right away with improving them the days after. Here is the result. They have yet ot be painted and some things have to be added:

Hello everyone,

 

Here is a small update. I finished up making the black lines between the deck planks. I still don't know how to are called in Englisch.

 

After this I desided to oil the deck first before finishing the gun ports. So I did the first layer of Danish Oil and here is the result:

Hello everyone,

 

First of all, I wish everyone a good and healthy new year. May it be a nice building year for us! :D 

 

I have been busy in the last few weeks. Photo's of the progress of the ship itself will follow soon.

 

Today I did some work on the cannon's. I had to make 72 of those parts of the cannon with the stair figure (you know what I mean when you see the photo's below). I did 36 of them today. A lot of work!  :(   ;) :

I hope to post some more pictures of the ship itself soon!

Update

Hello everyone,

 

Here is another small update. 

 

I'm currently very busy with school. School is something I have been busy the last few years. This causes that I haven't got a lot of time to built. That's why it isn't going as fast as other builts. Some things most people would do in 1 day I do in 2 days or more because every day I have almost no time to built.

 

Another good thing is that I managed to built more often after school. This meanly because of my mobile workbench which is working great for me. It's now easy to take all the tools I need and clean it when I'm done :D

 

Enough talking, here are some pictures. I did again some work on the construction. I used a quite unique methode. I had to bend a wooden strip from 4mm by 4mm. But the turn was to sharp. So what I did is I took a aluminium strip and bended this into the right form. Then I placed a 0,5 by 5mm strip on top. After this I putted another 8 strips on top of each other (glued together). And it worked great! :D :

Thanks guys!

 

@Tim, yes I know. I like it too. I used Danish Oil, and this works so great!

 

@Jan, It's really going to look like a ship now. 

 

I hope I can soon begin with planking!

Nick,

With your build, I can see a ship emerging that you will always enjoy and be proud of.

I'm building L'Hermione, too. I really like some of your innovations. In fact, I am already planning on using some of them.

Thanks for sharing,
