*Hans* Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share #222 Posted May 21, 2015 Just one extra post in this topic. As many of you already know I'm busy on a modelkit of the Batavia. This comes available 2nd half of june. It is possible for me to send worldwide, but have to consider postal costs and dutypapers. Please feel free to have a look at my website as mentioned hereunder. One of the items in the box is the lantern. This is made of three cast resin pieces - the base and the cap, and the middle piece of transparent resin: This is the rough version - it needs some sanding and of course painting. I will post a painted version later. mtaylor, archjofo, Archi and 3 others 6 Quote Hans Owner of Kolderstok Models - 17th century Dutch ships.

amateur Posted May 21, 2015 Share #223 Posted May 21, 2015 Hi Hans, There is a dealers-section in the forum. Perhaps you should consider some advertisement for yourself over there? Can you give the exact dimensions of your lantern? (still looking for some replacements on my Prins Willem) Jan Piet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Hans* Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share #224 Posted May 22, 2015 Jan, Thanks for this tip - will have a look at this section The lantarn is ca. 30 mm high and 22 - 23 mm at its widest point. Scale is 1:72 - maybe a bit to large for the Prins Willem which is 1:100 scale. But if it should be ok you can send me a PM on it. Quote Hans Owner of Kolderstok Models - 17th century Dutch ships.

*Hans* Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share #228 Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) I made all the ornaments for the Batavia kit in cast resin, but have also started making these in white metal. I made a special casting mould of heat-resistant silicone and started pouring.The white figure you see is a special order for a customer in South Africa. The red fluid is silicone on the fresly made new ornament for the Batavia.Although not very clear, left the mould and right the first attempts.

*Hans* Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share #231 Posted September 26, 2015 Thanks Chris & Nils, It is really fun doing this! There is also a main diffirence in casting resin and castin tin. - resin can be done just like pouring yoghurt in a bowl - so an open mould and just pour the fluid in it. - tin has to be done in a closed mould. So I make the red silicone mould as an open one and then use a piece of oak plank to close it. Important then is to think how the air in the mould can escape - thus all the "opkomers" (English word?) for releasing the air. mtaylor, Mirabell61, WackoWolf and 1 other 4 Quote Hans Owner of Kolderstok Models - 17th century Dutch ships.

amateur Posted October 5, 2015 Share #232 Posted October 5, 2015 Why are you casting in pewter? Has it advantages over resin? Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Hans* Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share #233 Posted October 11, 2015 Jan, merely for two reasons: - first of all the fun of trying it and doing it. I think it is a main part of modelbuilding not only making the model itself, but also (to me) make the tools and get the feeling of how things can be made by yourself instead of just use the parts provided in a kit. - second: when showing a modelkit to someone they often ask if ornaments etc are in brass or other cast metal. Resin is good stuff and easy to work with, but not everyone is pleased with it. But to be honest: the resin is in fact the better product. Easier to work, easier to glue, easier to paint, easier to change, easier to sand, etc.etc. mtaylor and Piet 2 Quote Hans Owner of Kolderstok Models - 17th century Dutch ships.

*Hans* Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share #235 Posted October 11, 2015 Thanks Hartmut! It already has been a while since I finished her, and after that I started with a Greek Trireme (see my signature) This one however has come to a temorary stop due to the fact I started making wooden building kits of the Batavia. There are hardly any Dutch 17th century ships as kit available so I started to fill this gap. Working model for the Batavia kit was/is the "Dordrecht" from 1618 - a sister ship of the Batavia and the previous vessel Francesco Pelsaert sailed on. There is no build log on the Dordrecht, but here some images of her stern: tadheus, IgorSky, archjofo and 2 others 5 Quote Hans Owner of Kolderstok Models - 17th century Dutch ships.
