PvG Aussie Posted August 8 #1 Posted August 8 Having run out of space in my work room, and also discovering the wonderful work done by @Javier Baron, I am going to have a crack at a miniature build myself. The ship I plan to build is a 21m/69' Dutch yacht which will be reduced in length to 107mm/4.212". Plans for this ship are fairly detailed but written in Turkish and are not very clear so I anticipate a bit of fun along the way. I don't mind challenges.😯 Wish me luck as I 'go on my way' down a possibly rocky road. Cheers, Archi, mtaylor, kgstakes and 9 others 12 Quote PvG Aussie (Peter) Started modelling Jan 2022.

Chapman Posted August 8 #5 Posted August 8 This yacht as we see it here on the plan is originally a reconstruction by Hoeckel of the Electorate of Brandenburg Staten Yacht, the Large (Große) or Golden (Goldene) Yacht, from 1678/79. So the Yacht has a name, but with modified decoration it can certainly also serve other states with different names. mtaylor, PvG Aussie, Doreltomin and 2 others 4 1 Quote

PvG Aussie Posted August 10 Author #7 Posted August 10 (edited) Two days of fun. Nothing exciting for Day One. Just scaling back the plans. Cutting parts and putting the main structure together ... nothing new, just very small. 🧐 Day Two. I worked on the bow, rudder and stern. All that was essential, was a sharp pointed blade. 🗡️ I also started a little planking. (Continuing tomorrow) Breaking parts and sticking things to fingers was the order of the day.

PvG Aussie Posted August 12 Author #9 Posted August 12 G'day all, Progress is very slow on this miniature model. Time and care needed is the same and avoidance of errors is crucial as they are very obvious. Never-the-less it is still an enjoyable build. Yesterday I finished the planking, applied some primer, and did some work on the stern (it looks much better in reality than it does in the enlarged image). Today I planned the decks, painted the gunwales, and started on the staircase going down below. Because of the tiny scale, I think I'm going blind, but I'm still 'living the dream!'

cotrecerf Posted August 12 #10 Posted August 12 Peter PvG Aussie, I agree to Chapman's post #5, the plan you got is a derivate of the Hoeckel et al. plans. If you wanted to look further into ships of the 16th/17th century it might be worthwhile to get a copy of this book containing 11 plan pages with 22 drawings of ships of that era plus an article about colours used. FYI some pics of the book I have. Glen McGuire and mtaylor 2 Quote
cotrecerf Posted August 12 #11 Posted August 12 Peter PvG Aussie, the plan is a true 1/100 scale, your model looks a bit smaller though. To me its very ambitious to build in 1/200, all this fiddling and tiniest parts to work. Congrats that you acheived to make a very convincing hull so far. greetings Joachim Glen McGuire and mtaylor 2 Quote
PvG Aussie Posted August 12 Author #12 Posted August 12 Thank you, Joachim @cotrecerf, for your comments and advice. I agree with you fully about the obvious origin of the plans I have. Given the Hungarian source and lack of clarity of my three pages of plans, I very much appreciate the sketches you have attached. Any suggestions regarding the ship's colours would be excellent as the only hint I have is this Ships of Scale Post (Click here to see). Ordering the Hoeckel et al, book would take ages as things move slowly when ordering from overseas. As far as the scale is concerned, calculation always involves some assumptions. I assumed the ship is approximately 21m in length. Thank you for your help and encouragement. Cheers 🙂 mtaylor and Glen McGuire 2 Quote PvG Aussie (Peter) Started modelling Jan 2022.

cotrecerf Posted August 12 #13 Posted August 12 Peter, check this link Kurbrandenburgische Marine – Wikipedia. The original yacht belonged to the Elector of Brandenburg at that time and there are oil paintings showing the yacht, the Brandenburg fleet giving you some idea of the colour scheme. I will scan the pages related to era colouring of the Hoeckel book soon. (They are in German language) Cheers PvG Aussie, Glen McGuire and mtaylor 2 1 Quote

Time and care needed is the same and avoidance of errors is crucial as they are very obvious The errors I see are very minor in comparison to some of those I have made on much larger scale ships. At 1/200 scale, I would give myself a break if I were you. Your model is shaping up as a magnificent reconstruction, and unless you're Kirill or 72nova, you're going to make errors at 1/200. I would sand down the plank that juts upwards on the model, the cap rail should hide the rest. Filler and sanding should fix any gaps or ugly spots in planking. Glen McGuire and mtaylor 2 Quote

DaKea90 Posted August 13 #25 Posted August 13 Hey Aussie, I've used the very same plans to build my own Golden Yacht. If you want to take a look at it, here is a link to the log: Although my log's title states that I've built it in 1/100th scale, it's very much not I'm not quite sure about the exact scale, but I guess, it's somewhere in the 1/150th - 1/200th range. What I want to say is that it's possible, but I'll never build anything in that small a scale again xD PvG Aussie, Glen McGuire, mtaylor and 1 other 3 1 Quote

PvG Aussie Posted August 14 Author #28 Posted August 14 It's great to get the encouragement and 👍s from my peers and 🐧 friends. Thanks. What a challenging two days! I started with covering the roof of the aft section and the decks. It even has an internal stairwell. Then I realised the rear structure needed to be removed as the angle of the roof was not steep enough. I fixed it up and made an untidy mess. It took ages. I hate the sound of cracking wood!

PvG Aussie Posted August 15 Author #30 Posted August 15 @cotrecerf, thank you for the text of ship colours. I thought I would have to rely on my limited knowledge of the Dutch language to translate the German text, but I have been lucky enough to use modern technology to understand what is written.
