Friech Boeir Yacht "SPERWER" by Kortes -1:30 scale [COMPLETED BUILD]

[Kortes]

Greetings my honorable colleagues.
Asking the admittance to “the Dutch club”
I have found the drawing in the internet, scale 1:30. I’m planning on working with the pear tree and black hornbeam.
I would be very grateful for the advices and constructive critics.
For the moment the model has a certain level of readiness. I will download the report in the chronological order.
I also wanted to say that English is not my native language and I would have to use the translator sometimes. Due to this the terminology and information could be mistranslated. In advance, my sincere apologies if this may happen.
Respectfully yours.

The body is made of plywood frame, attached together on the board. The space between the frame was filled in with the aspen

 

[Kortes]

Covering.
The cover is made of 2 mm pear batten butt joint. I decided to start the cover from the keel.

​

 

[Kortes]

Only the first panel was set up easily, the rest had to be bent beforehand.

​

 

[Kortes]

Bended battens were attached on the edges to the frame with the superglue and fixed with stapler. Afterwards, under the steam, I bent them by the frame of the ship. The “Dutchmen” are very roundframed.

The final belt.

I followed Aleksandr's build log on another forum with this model. However, I am still impressed with workmanship he shows up. In case anyone needs some detail explanations from Russian text I will try to help. (Russian) Я следил за постройкой этой модели Александра на другом форуме. Тем не менее, я все еще впечатлен мастерством, которое он проявляет. Если кому-то понадобится перевод или подробное обяснение того или иного выражения русского текста, я постараюсь помочь.

 

[Kortes]

Thank you, my dear friend Jim. I will be greatfull for your help.

cool little ship would make an awesome radio control at like 1/24th scale or so especially with the folding mast

what scale is that and how long is it?

 

[Kortes]

Rubbing strips.
They were bent using the black hornbeam. I had to work on refining them afterwards.

Preparing for the nailing.

Thank you very much!
It is built on the scale 1:30. The length of the hull of the model is 302 mm.
My best regards.

wow then it could be done at a huge scale easily. TY. is there a link to the website you got the plans from?

1/8th scale be 45" just right for an R/C Model

 

[Kortes]

My greetings, JosephH,
Unfortunately, in my disposal I have only two sheets of plans, which i found in internet. Also lots of photos of Dutch yachtsmen are a big help for me.

 

[Kortes]

Finished nailing.
I haven’t finished refining them yet, because no matter how hard you try - there would be left marks on them, so I will finish all the refiniments before coating them with oil.

 

[Kortes]

Сделали временную раму для продолжения работы на палубе.

 

[Kortes]

I have made certain pieces for constructing broadside. The piece for the breast, for the extra strength, was glued from several pieces, because I used it as a pattern for bending battens.

 

[Kortes]

Ширины в этом конкретном случае были сделаны из больших планок. Я попробую сделать их снова. Я сделал узор, разрезал его и согнул под пару.
