Arjan68 Posted February 16, 2013 #8 Posted February 16, 2013 Nice to meet you on this forum too Michiel ! As you know, I've followed this build closely on a dutch forum. I'm still impressed by the amount of detail you add to the ship. Quote If it doesn't bend, it breaks.

Michiel Posted February 18, 2013 Author #12 Posted February 18, 2013 Thanks guys, your words are much appreciated, I started painting the underwatership yesterday, there may be some updates later this week.

amateur Posted March 4, 2013 #14 Posted March 4, 2013 Hi Michiel, Looking good, but shouldn't the schaarstokken around the main hatch touch each other sideways? Jan Quote
Michiel Posted March 4, 2013 Author #15 Posted March 4, 2013 Thanks Jan, We just had a many page discussion on the schaarstokken... including comments from Ab, But I think your right in all drawings of pinas's they do, the thing is that the hatch is rather large here, I stick to Ketting and with the batteries there I can't make it smaller. The distance between the main schaarstokken is now ~7 feet, and with that is fits nicely around the other hatches and the anker spill. So it's a bit of a compromise..

Foremast Posted March 4, 2013 #16 Posted March 4, 2013 This is an amazing log, Michiel! Did you make sculptures by yourself? Alex Quote If any of you cry at my funeral, I'll never speak to you again! (Stan Laurel)
amateur Posted March 4, 2013 #17 Posted March 4, 2013 Ah, missed that discussion... Will drop in there Jan Quote
Michiel Posted March 4, 2013 Author #18 Posted March 4, 2013 Thanks Alex, Yes I'm cutting them all from box wood, I only just started though there is an enormous amount of carving on this ship. So there's a lot to practive ;-) Best, Michiel Quote Finished models: Botter, President Current: Prins Willem by the book of Ketting, HMS Beagle - OcCre restauration of a Statenjacht
Foremast Posted March 4, 2013 #19 Posted March 4, 2013 Sculptures are really well done! Compliments! Another question: how did you make hull's nailing and caulking? Regards Alex Quote If any of you cry at my funeral, I'll never speak to you again! (Stan Laurel)
Michiel Posted March 5, 2013 Author #20 Posted March 5, 2013 Thanks Alex The nails in the hull (cherry planks) are made from chestnut thorns like this: I drill 0.5 mm holes, then I pull a thorn from a shell a dip it in some glue and stick it in. When it's dry I cut most of with a small pair of scissors and than sand it further. Finally a scrape the entire section and apply danish oil. For the deck planks I find the thorns to dark and I just use tooth picks, without any further processing, just pushing them in so that they fill the 0.5mm hole. Again after oiling you get a very nice contrast due to the grain direction difference. The planks I make black on the sides with shoe polish from a tube with sponge, (the sponge is attached to the tube). You get the best result if you sand the side just a bit as well, especially the short sides. The shoe polish is instantly sufficiently dry and does not get into the wood. The sanding does fill the space between the planks a bit which may seem to diminish the effect. However, after applying the oil they come out nicely again (not if you apply a lacker though! then the sand dust stays in there and makes the effort in vain.). Obviously for a bit more historically correct color you could use a dark brown polish... itsme74, EricWilliamMarshall, avsjerome2003 and 1 other 4 Quote Finished models: Botter, President Current: Prins Willem by the book of Ketting, HMS Beagle - OcCre restauration of a Statenjacht

Michiel Posted March 7, 2013 Author #26 Posted March 7, 2013 I showed a picture before of a single musket, the rack is new. Next thing here will be a rack over the windows for dining plates. There will be an other bench on the aft side as well, eventually. I also finished the bed for the captain but it still needs sheets and a blanket. the wiring for the candle runs through one of the legs, I drilled a 0.5 mm hole through a toothpick....
