Nice! I have a big block of balsa I can use as fillers as needed. I'll take it a step-at-a-time. I can bandsaw to fit. Thank you for your input! Greatly appreciated.

That is a pleasure Phil. As you can see I follow your build. I really like your decking and what you have done on the bulwarks so I have no doubt that you will be very successful in achieving a beautiful model!
 
@rtibbs Ron please excuse my very amateurish drawing (not to scale) of the dimensions of the area that you have available for your White Swan emblem. Maybe this helps with the design process. I think the Swan CNC's out of Boxwood, Costello or maybe even Holly will look amazing on the dark walnut. You can also go for Pear if you don't want the contrast to be too big.

Thanks Heinrich. When my package arrives I thought I’d peek inside and measure the bulkhead to scale my Swan. I’ll probably cut it from maple however, I will be painting her/him even though I would rather keep all the wood natural.

Thanks again,
Ron

The Bowfiller and Stearn are MUST- My latest build was filler up yo the lower Gun Deck, giving a real gun deck here -it is hell to make a minimum of between 24 to 30 gun carriages, but it is worthful-the lat pic is from a build of Solli, where he used a special material. Hus build are somewhere on SOS if not Asf

Hi Ron. Just bear in mind that for this section, there is no actual bulkhead that you can measure for scale. You have to create that portion of the stern by planking the section as indicated below by the green lines.

Those shipwrights and carpenters must have been either stoned or brilliant, or both, considering the tools we have at our disposal and they didn't.

I don't know about "stoned' - maybe large quantities of Gin (Jenewer) were consumed, but the one thing that stands out above everything else - they were brilliant!
 
Hello Heinrich. Your log is an education in shipbuilding. I do enjoy and learn so much and wish I had seen some of your build logs prior to me charging into my build. At times I feel like a student with nothing to add (ROTFROTFROTFROTFROTF because I am - in this field) however I do need to express my gratitude to you for sharing so much of your knowledge and advice. Cheers.

Grant, thank you so much for the very kind words. It is an absolute pleasure to share the little I know with everyone who is interested. There are a million aspects of model building where my knowledge is sadly lacking or non-existent (like rigging for example :)), but I do enjoy working with wood and I do enjoy planking - especially when there is the added needle of it being a single-planked ship.

Single planked sounds like a dugout canoe for which there are plenty of historical examples and probably some in remote jungles of the Amazon today Rich :D

@RDN1954 Johan that is another great question - one one that I cannot give you a definite answer to. Maybe that was the case on the bigger Spiegelretourschepen like the Batavia or on the warships, but it might have been different on the smaller ships like the "jachts" and "pinas". All I can do as illustration is to show you these pictures.

This is Piet's example at the bow which turned into this:

View attachment 274282

what I can tell you is that the WB has a much "sharper" bow compared to the relatively blunt bow of the Batavia and the even blunter/rounder bows of the warships, but maybe @Kolderstok Hans or @Maarten can you give you a better answer.

Hi heinrich, sorry for the late reply, I was travelling. The shape has to do with the nature of the vessel. This is a jacht, a small fast well sailing ship. The warships and freigthers like batavia had a blund bow to create space for cargo and boyancy for guns without causing to much draught for the shallow Dutch waters.

That's a plausible explanation, thanks.

No worries Maarten - thank you very much for the answer - that is in line with what I told you Johan as well.Thumbsup
