*Hans* Posted April 5, 2017 #91 Posted April 5, 2017 Nice! Although the POF way of building is the more original, the POB looks more like a ship to me.

You have better weather than we do, for we are having nightfrost every day! Still ... no time at all for the Utrecht ? What a pitty ... we'll just have to sit it out ... I felt guilty. So today was cloudy and colder. Worked on the POF and glued it all together. Made template from the deck to see if the boat is correct in length, and it is. The POB is the correct length as well. Pictures will follow. I find scratch building tough. There is a lot of guess work especially the details such as the deck items. Some of the plans are two dimensional. I have been looking at other books on flat bottom boats and it does help. I am writing this from my phone and sitting next to the BBQ where I have a leg of lamb on the rotisserie. Smells good. Three weeks in June my wife and I will be going to Europe. Chicago to Iceland (nice viking museum). Iceland to Amsterdam. Rent car.

Took lots of pictures as well. Uploaded them on msw. Search museum. My mother used to live in Amsterdam, but has moved to Heerhugowaard. I need a car for visiting her and staying with friends. I know it's a lot of driving but this is the way we always do it in Europe. With a car we always see more. June in the north? More daylight, especially Iceland, can't wait. I remember when my dad worked in Helsinki and I would go on vacation in June. I would see the sun go down in the west and come up in the east all at the same time. One last thing about driving. Where we live in the US, distances are minimal. Big country. Want to go somewhere? Expect to drive between an hour or two. The Midwest is vast. Chicago is an hour drive from my house, without traffic. Marcus Elijah, Piet, Omega1234 and 3 others 6 Quote Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J.

YankeeD Posted May 2, 2017 #104 Posted May 2, 2017 Thats true, you see a lot more and you are free to go as you like. Also know about how you feel about distances in the US. Used to work and travel there for years and have relatives living in Vancouver, but did not know you did it before. So you are used to the traffic and the way of driving. Makes it easier I guess.

flying_dutchman2 Posted July 25, 2017 Author #111 Posted July 25, 2017 Vacation was great and got lots of pictures especially from the maritime museums. Sorting out well over 3000 pictures of 6 ship museums and will show the highlights starting with a new thread. The following is a picture of the micro carving tools I purchased from my neighbor ($100). Bottom right are custom made carving tools. He made his own. So with some of the blanks, I can create some myself. He died last year and his wife is selling all his stuff. He was a watch maker and hoarder. He had 4 large Tupperware boxes full of watches some working most of them not and he collected face plates, all neatly put in envelopes in alphabetical order, thousands. He has an itty-bitty drill press and lathe from Germany. If she can't sell them, I'll make her an offer. Still need to look over the rest of it. Working on the Utrecht again. I am working on my carving skills with clay and plaster of paris. Also doing some deck items. Those carving tools sure come in handy.

Jack H Posted August 18, 2017 #117 Posted August 18, 2017 Hi Marcus! I 'm looking forward to your ship model of Statenjacht 'Utrecht' . I've never found the flute zeehaen's inside structure drawings on bow and stern.Later, I personally felt that the structure of zeehaen might be closer to a ship like Utrecht.Because there is no basis, so have been shelved, did not continue to make, maybe I'll change my mind and change it into a hull model. Piet and Omega1234 2 Quote
amateur Posted August 18, 2017 #118 Posted August 18, 2017 That is correct: the inside structure of Dutch ships was comparable, as their hull-form was comparable: broad, bluff bow.\ Jan Omega1234 and Piet 2 Quote
flying_dutchman2 Posted August 21, 2017 Author #119 Posted August 21, 2017 Besides being outside most of the time, I have been working on the boat. I had a terrible time constructing the bow. Tried everything, but couldn't get the curve just right. Tried blocks and sanding them. Tried clay, no good. So I worked with card. Copied the last frame onto card and drew horizontal lines every 5 mm. Made a template from the stem and glued that on a piece of wood. Fitted the deck layer to the stem and left the rest empty. Cut the first layer out from card and fitted that between the stem and the frame. Kept cutting away with scissors until it fit. Did that with all of the layers.

flying_dutchman2 Posted August 21, 2017 Author #120 Posted August 21, 2017 Once I got that and curve was there substituted the card for pieces of wood. This was a long process but it worked. Glued the bow to the frame and voila, I had it. Added some putty and a bit of sanding and I am really pleased with it.
