Great work so far

@All thanks again for the likes and comments.
A few parts I made in the past days. It is all very small and yes my Proxxon MF70 makes hours.
The metal parts I cleaned in Acetone from glue and paint. They're next on my schedule to paint



Everything is dry fit, so they could be placed wrong on the ship. Something to check before I glue them de finely to there place

Small update of 7 hours of hard work.
new rudder of walnut beams, glued together with blackened white glue. Then I made hinges of brass (working) blackened and fit them to the hull. There is no glue on the hinges, just nails to fit all

The small mistake will be fixed, just a hole of 0,6 mm.

Thanks Paul, it is lovely to build such a small kit in between the massieve rigging job of our ships.

Dear Stepaen

Beautiful work Stephan! She is really coming together very nicely now. Enjoy tomorrow at Duizel!

 

[Steef66]

Today I glued and nailed everything on the deck. The masts are still dry fit. They still need a colour change. The pins in the tops will be invisible after everything is done.

@Heinrich I will thanks

 

[Heinrich]

And you are almost back to rigging!

 

[Steef66]

@All thanks again for the likes and kind words. They are appreciated.
First I completed the rudder. And the nail benches on the sides.


They need a little tung oil to look pretty. Something for later.
first
When I look to the gun carriage, I think to myself... these are ugly!



They need to be from wood, but they are also very tiny. But nothing is impossible. First to look for a piece of boxwood and shape that on my new build thickness sander in the right dimensions.



After that I used the MF70 to shape the hole piece, so I can cut out 4 carriages.



After I cut them I make sure they are all the same dimensions



Then I start to shape the side walls



the wig



English, so hollow under side



Then I make on my lathe a round piece of cherry wood to cut the wheels out and glued them to the carriages.



So, enough for today, need to think about the details

Thanks for watching

Brilliant Stephan. A question if you don't mind: how did you cut the edge profile on the edge of the wheel?

just luck. The wheel is 2,2 mm. in diameter. I think it comes by the saw. When the piece of wood was in the lathe, I marked and sawed with a small saw the wheels. Then I took out the piece and separated the wheels with a knife of the hole thing.

 

[Steef66]

I didn't took pictures of the process making the wheels. Sorry I was a little bit sunken in my work

Oh to have such luck all the time... .

Hi Stephan. In a short time a lot of posts of very tiny new items on your clipper. I am impressed by your work in this scale.
Regards, Peter

 

[Steef66]

Thanks Peter

Dear Stephan
you have special methods to create the carriages, that I don't know . it was interesting to learn a new method, thanks
