Pfälzer Posted April 30 Author Share #3 Posted April 30 So guy's, i' m from germany not far from Ramstein, 56 Years old. For 40 Years i'd build the Gorch Fock , now i begin again with Ship modelling.

Pfälzer Posted May 1 Author Share #6 Posted May 1 (edited) Hallo ihr Lieben, ja Yves, das gute Stück wurde mit Antikwachs behandelt und poliert. Die Dose ist mindestens 30 Jahre alt und lag bei mir im Keller herum. Vorher wurde alles mit Schleifpapier der Körnung 1000 geschliffen, was ich bei fast jedem Bauteil mache. Der Rumpf besteht aus Sapelli-Holz, einer Art Mahagoni. Kommen wir nun zum Manko dieses Bausatzes, der vor allem in der Qualität der Materialien zu suchen ist. Ein Großteil davon besteht aus Sperrholz. Der Kiel und der Kranbalken beispielsweise sollen laut Beschreibung aus Walnussholz sein, sind aber nur aus Sperrholz und noch dazu nur gebeizt. Deshalb habe ich viele Teile aus Resten der Lady Nelson nachgebaut. Die Ankerwinde und viele Kleinteile, die in den Plänen ebenfalls aus Messing bestehen, sind in Wirklichkeit aus hässlichem Zinkguss gefertigt. Darüber hinaus sind die Baupläne ziemlich dürftig und landen genau dort, wo ich jetzt bin. Keine vernünftige Beschreibung der Takelage und Segel. Mein nächstes Schiff wird daher definitiv entweder von Victory oder Vanguard Models sein. Es muss auch ziemlich bald bestellt werden, damit ich so etwas vernünftig planen kann.

Pfälzer Posted May 6 Author Share #8 Posted May 6 Hello, I was a little busy at the weekend. Since the pins didn't have enough space where they should be according to the construction plan, I simply installed them where they fit. Nameplate and crane beam were installed. Then, unfortunately, I had to replace another zinc part. Firstly, zinc is ugly and secondly, the part is half as thin as it should be according to the plan. So I glued two strips of lime and a Sapelli together to make a plywood and carved it for a while. I don't use any electronic equipment to build my boats. Everything is made by hand, albeit sometimes laboriously.

Pfälzer Posted May 19 Author Share #17 Posted May 19 Yesterday I finished the work on the fuselage, so the lady can go on the stand. The assembly went reasonably smoothly except for various errors in the building plan and the replacement of bad wood and metal castings. The windlass, portholes, crane beams and similar parts that were only made of plywood were replaced with walnut. You have to make these compromises with a kit costing just over 200 euros.

Pfälzer Posted Thursday at 03:43 AM Author Share #26 Posted Thursday at 03:43 AM Hello lovelies, as I'm making faster progress with this build than planned, I'm already thinking about the next project. The weather looks like it's going to be modest this year thanks to El Nino, so less good conditions for the garden but more time for tinkering around. For this reason, like many here, I'm going to leave the path of monogamy and get myself a second building site. I've been planning to build a galleon next for a while. As these were often made of oak, I have already ordered the appropriate planking material. I know oak is supposed to be difficult, but that's exactly what I see as the incentive. The other day, as luck would have it, I got a beautiful 4mm thick oak panel with an area of almost one square meter. It was lying around in the corner at our local cabinetmaker's and changed hands for five euros. The whole time I was thinking of buying a higher quality kit after Occre. But with so much fine solid wood in the house, it will be cheaper again as most of the contents will be replaced anyway. Especially as the Esmeralda has given me a taste for making parts myself. I also have the somewhat sick idea of attaching all the strips of the second planking to the hull in a finished state, chamfered so that each individual strip will be recognizable on its own. It will still take a while because the moldings for the outer skin have to be made separately in the appropriate size.
