A Dutch Fluyt in shell first, reconstructing the "Ghost ship" scale 1:36

[Maarten]

To prepare for my upcoming camper trip I have already prepared my coming travel carving.
The image is transferred to the boxwood by rubbing off the paper.


After sawing the contours on the scroll saw it is ready to start the carving.
See below already the combination with the two hoekmannen.




The coming weeks I will share some progress on the carving.

Ditto.

 

[Maarten]

Thx gents, we will and I will post the progress.

 

[Kurt Konrath]

Well if your start of carving doesn't end well, you can pitch it into the campfire while camping and nobody will ever know.

Before I start annoying you with pictures of dolphins I made a small compilation of the shell first build in just a few pictures.

Nice slide show! Are you going to use that for something? A presentation?

Thx Paul, Oh no just thought it is a nice overview. Maybe it will inspire you to start the same

Nice summary.

Very cool Maarten.

I agree. Paul should do one. We have to rummage through 200+ pages of banter, compliments, advice, discussion etc etc to find how he made something. . I speak from experience looking for his gun ports….Seriously tho Marten, lovely slide show. Cheers Grant

The slideshow is a really nice idea, to document the build process. I think I will copy it for my own project. Thanks for sharing.

A nice summary of your (equally) interestingBuild-log, Maarten.
Regards, Peter

It does have it's perks having a build summary, if not for the masses, it could be quite helpful to yourself or a fellow builder; when trying to find something you know you've read somewhere in a 100+ pages thread....

Great presentation & summary Maarten.

 

[Maarten]

Thx gents for comments and likes.
In the meantime the work on the carving started. As mentioned before I am using chisels instead of rotary carving as Stephan.
First the outlines are marked.

 

[Maarten]

Next step is setting out the shape.


Step by step removing very small amounts of wood toward thecorrect proportions of the head.


Now working towards the tail.


The body is already getting its shape.


Fitting it on the shape of the upper transome.

Flipper starts to looks good.
