flying_dutchman2 Posted October 9, 2017 Author #153 Posted October 9, 2017 Thanks for all the likes. Saturday I went shopping for paint. I was going to get all from Golden Acrylics, but that was out of my price range ($11.00-21.00). Even Lukas and Schmincke were very pricey ($8.00-16.00). So in Hobby Lobby I compared the pricey colors with colors from Hobby Lobby 's own colors - Master's Touch - and got those ($4.00). Same name, same color but cheaper. Then went to Michael's and did the same process. These colors are from Liquitex - Basics ($3.50). One color from Grumbacher ($4.27). Only one pricey color - Prussian blue - from Liquitex professional ($8.70). I painted all the colors on a piece of wood. They all go on thick and I can't tell the difference between pricey and cheap. The Golden Acrylics I do have I got cheap a few years ago. The cheap colors are 4 oz. and pricey ones are 2 oz. My list of paint is as follows: Prussian blue Mars black Phthalocyanine blue Cobalt blue Yellow ochre Raw sienna Chrome oxide green Cadmium red deep Cadmium red medium Flat white (still need to get) So far I painted the wales Mars black. Furthermore, I took a tip from Ed Tosti on glue. Mixed white Elmer's glue with brown paint. He uses pigment powder. Results are the same. So now when I glue the deck planks they already have a dark line between them.

flying_dutchman2 Posted October 11, 2017 Author #156 Posted October 11, 2017 Thanks for the likes. After looking through numerous books, models and not finding how planking is done in the Dutch Golden age decided to do the second layer of planking like the replica of the Utrecht. The book from Hoving and Emke show how it is done. Joints are called 'nibbed scarph joint'. Painted the pavilion front, stovepipes and the skylights. The little blue pieces on the dowels go on the pavilion. Making the window frames (1mm square dowel basswood). I have made all the frames like this.

I enjoy making the little items. Also when I am not making the small items I am working on the second layer of planking on the boat, a tedious process as the wood needs to be exact, especially on the bow.

flying_dutchman2 Posted October 19, 2017 Author #158 Posted October 19, 2017 Next project is unconventional as I drilled holes in the hull next to the first layer of planking. Put toothpicks in the holes and took 2 pieces of moist wood (6mm x 1mm) and bend it around them. Pushed the wood down so it would follow the curve of the upper wale. Then used clamps and scrap wood to hold it down. Marcus Elijah, Omega1234, Piet and 6 others 9 Quote Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J.

I will make holes in the deck as well by lining them up with the hull. Glue tooth picks or beech dowels in the holes. Glue one strip of wood on the inside of the dowel and one strip on the outside and fill the space between the strips with scrap wood. Cover the top and voila, I have a solid railing. That is the plan. But things can change. Marcus Elijah, Piet, cog and 1 other 4 Quote Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J.

flying_dutchman2 Posted October 23, 2017 Author #161 Posted October 23, 2017 Some more planking and I let the planks go naturally, no forcing, that means I have to install lots of stealers. Planking the bow is difficult. If it wasn't so bluff this would be so much easier. I've done several bluff bows so with every boat it gets easier. The masking tape is to hold the wet planks in place. Went to hobby lobby and bought 1 pound of Super Sculpey. Started playing around with it.

flying_dutchman2 Posted October 24, 2017 Author #162 Posted October 24, 2017 Got a little tired of all the planking so I started preliminary work on a Boyer which is one of the boats from 17th century Dutch merchant ships from Hoving & Emke. Scale 1:48. The hull is 51 cm long. At this scale I can add lots of details. The Stern looks a bit like a fluit and it has a bluff bow. Nice practice for when I want to build a fluit. Xeroxed the plans and going to look for wood in my wood pile. Once I get going I will start a new thread. Back to planking of the Utrecht. Marcus.

flying_dutchman2 Posted October 25, 2017 Author #164 Posted October 25, 2017 Pavilion windows: This was a difficult project. I used sculpey clay to set the window frames in, aligning the sides. After lots of trail and error, redoing the clay and measuring the length and width of all three frames together, I was able to get it close. Used bits of clay on the top as well to keep it aligned. Used white glue on the inside. Once dried and removed from the clay I can sand them a bit and touch up the paint. I have seen other models on other sites of the way the windows are positioned and they are all straight where as I have them on an angle and slightly bend forward to follow the contour of the pavilion wall. Maybe overkill. Marcus Piet, cog, mtaylor and 3 others 6 Quote Current Built: Zeehaen 1639, Dutch Fluit from Dutch explorer Abel J.

flying_dutchman2 Posted November 2, 2017 Author #178 Posted November 2, 2017 I had to rethink the railing. First time I soaked 2x6mm walnut and tried to bend it along the curve of the boat and ended up with a clamp forrest (Cog's definition). After the planks were dry they didn't keep their curve. So this morning pulled out the saw and cut 2x2mm strips from Poplar _ Tulip tree, to be exact. Made a lot of these as I am bound to break a few. For the Utrecht I have been using a lot of Poplar. It has good bending characteristics, especially for bluff bows and it is cheap.
