Louie da fly Posted October 15 Share #31 Posted October 15 That looks good, particularly the 'draped fabric'. Are you planning on doing more carving on the dove?

Olli Sukunimisson Posted October 15 Author Share #32 Posted October 15 Thanks! More carving - of course! It is just the first approach fabric and dove should be much much much better N -1 iterations ahead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olli Sukunimisson Posted October 17 Author Share #33 Posted October 17 ok, wood carving requires loooong practice. But it shouldn't block the project. Let's continue. Baker, GrandpaPhil, rcweir and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And oftentimes more than one attempt (I've thrown away my fair share of carvings I was unhappy with!). On 10/18/2024 at 6:28 AM, Olli Sukunimisson said: But it shouldn't block the project. Also true. You can get on with the carving while glue is drying or when you get bored with the other stuff. Looking good.

Olli Sukunimisson Posted October 19 Author Share #35 Posted October 19 Everybody loves planking. Let's do some planking :)) The inner wall in its final beauty. As far as I understand, it will be almost out of view (covered by the top deck, boards, and some features at the front), but it's a matter of respect toward the ship to build it with care.

Olli Sukunimisson Posted October 21 Author Share #36 Posted October 21 (edited) Both final full-length planks cracked. Maybe it's for the best—I now have a chance to create a couple of 'composite' planks (don't know right name for them) Edited October 21 by Olli Sukunimisson rcweir, GrandpaPhil and Baker 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olli Sukunimisson Posted October 25 Author Share #39 Posted October 25 (edited) My precious! She is really beautiful and cute. A bit more sanding and polishing is still required. P.S.: when you build your own Duyfken (I'm sure you will; she’s gorgeous and much less common than Victory and dramatically less expensive), please pay attention to the 4th and 8th frames. There’s nothing wrong with them, but in my humble opinion, they could be slightly (really slightly) narrower. May be not. Just have a look and trust your taste.

Olli Sukunimisson Posted October 26 Author Share #41 Posted October 26 Well, this is just the very first approach. Yes, yes, yes—the triangles (do they have a special name?) aren’t included in the kit plans, but it seems impossible to leave my Duyfken without them. They feel like a tiny piece of Amsterdam, carried along on its incredible journey to Australia. rcweir, Louie da fly, ccoyle and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olli Sukunimisson Posted October 29 Author Share #42 Posted October 29 Two short and four long planks remain. Fitting these wales turned out to be a surprisingly tricky task. Somehow, I lost sight of the fact that the wales should serve as the base for the planks—not the other way around! Trying to use top planks as a base to shape the wales was not only a bad idea but also potentially disastrous. A single-layer hull is a terribly fragile thing! Thankfully, I managed to avoid an actual heart attack, and the wales are now in place. Baker, SiriusVoyager and rcweir 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie da fly Posted October 30 Share #43 Posted October 30 I've been in the same position, but from ignorance rather than forgetfulness. You've managed to succeed despite that, so well done.

Olli Sukunimisson Posted October 31 Author Share #44 Posted October 31 Planking is complete, unnecessary frame tops have been removed, and now I’ll finish the deck. PS: I still think it's an incredibly interesting model—now even more than I did at the beginning. And she is simple to build (though I'm trying not to think about the sculptures!).

Danstream Posted November 6 Share #49 Posted November 6 I didn't comment much, but I am following your build. Dutch vessels are not seen often around, but as other have said, they have played an important role in history. In addition, they have set the standards for others. I have one of these in my wish list. Congratulations for your build so far, it is evident that your modeling skills are improving.
