Roter Löwe 1597 by Ondras71 - scala 1/60

[Ondras71]

Great methods - many thanks for sharing with us your working steps

Thank you, Uwek. I have already said that I would like to find useful instructions myself, which is why I am attaching them myself.

Drilled holes for hinge hooks. The blankets of the shooting ranges are kept, I will place them at the end of the construction..



And I used the week of incapacity for work to progress in the construction.. Previously prepared gratings for the aft deck were shaped..







And according to them, deck beams are created..





And added previously prepared knees..







And now I have to fill the lower deck and close the deck..

 

[Uwek]

wow - wow - wow
Bravo

 

[Ondras71]

From the beginning, I thought he would hardly see under the aft deck. Despite the wide grating, there will be a lot to see there. That's why I decided to supplement the knee padding. I didn't like the first attempt with colored dots ..



It forced me to drill and place metal..





I add underdecks, cannonball boxes..





The Dutch double deck also has them on the open deck..



I also think about stone balls of the right caliber..





And Capstan production. Simplified under deck..

 

[Uwek]

Very good work my friend - a good decision to make the hanging knees with different bolting.
Are you sure, that these boxes were for canonballs?
On the drawing visible on one photo, it is looking not round and in addition the balls would be very heavy to be installed hanging at the wall.
If I had to store some balls near the guns, I would store them on the floor.....

Thanks Uwek. The boxes may not be for cannonballs, but apparently for some equipment, I'm studying. Ab Hoving would definitely answer us ..
Thank you for the like!

The lower capstan is glued..



I finished the upper capstan and added a rope pulley to the Halyard knighthead post against the plan Main top rope..





Before gluing the deck beams, I adjusted the visible places at the holes on them, the grating do not have a scale force..





I also create Large staghorn and Kevel blocks, these are completed according to Zehaen's plan..



Rear grating shaped ..

I finished the cannon barrels on the upper deck. They have been ready for 2.5 years..














I placed Large staghorn and Level blocks on the main deck..

Beautiful work Ondras! The cannon barrels are superb. What armament did she carry on the main deck - 8 pounders and ?

Dear Ondras
When my friends ask me what I want to be when I grow up, I answer to them that I want to be an expert in building models of ships at your level and in the range of capabilities you display. Hopefully one day I will get closer to that, just amazing work

 

[Heinrich]

Hi Ondras. I don't know if you have this,

Greetings to Heinrich. There are few details about this reproduction of the ship ..

Roter Löwe (Schiff, 1597) – Wikipedia

de.wikipedia.org

My barrels have a caliber of 1.4 mm, which is 8.4 cm in realism, which corresponds to a 4-pound cannon. It's alright..

I measured Dutch artillery trucks..





Production of artillery trucks..









Artillery trucks folded ..







Ready material for ropewalk..

 

[DARIVS ARCHITECTVS]

Such AWESOME progress on Roter Löwe! Such neat wood work!

 

[Steef66]

I agree with that.

 

[Herman]

Amazing work Ondras

 

[Ondras71]

Thank you very much friends, I am very pleased with your words, but I still have something to learn.

Cannon trucks folded, complete with side fittings, waxed..











Test of cannons on the upper deck..

 

[Steef66]

Like the way you make the steel reinforcements of the carriage. I bookmarked this one

 

[Uwek]

Your guns are fitting very well into the gunports - very good work
I am looking forward to see the carriages finished

 

[Ondras71]

Thank you very much for the nice words Stephan and Uwek.

Fittings finished, next time I'd rather create etched parts, this is hard work..









To be on the safe side, I provided the bottoms of the wheels with pin holes for a firm placement on the deck..



Cannons on the main deck done..

Dear Ondras
The cannon carts look great, I loved the idea of the holes in the wheels,
I really enjoy and learn from following your most impressive work

Thank you very much Shota. Most of the art is peeked from the experts on model forums.

After a week's sick leave, I finally completed my ropewalk. I only bought the Czech "Merkur" set with wheels and a motor, the others are various remains, the other side is still driven by a cordless drill .. It works..















After a short training "IT" really creates ropes !! So far, I'm training on the remnants of threads....

 

[Ondras71]

I'm learning to work with a ropewalk. It's really about testing. Catch weight weights and skill.. The first ropes and anchor cable Gutermann ..



First I have to create ropes for the cannons, which will already be placed under the aft deck..





I study in detail and only now do I understand that the "rope" is braided only once from 3x32 threads .. Then the anchor "cable" is braided from three prepared ropes..
After the first twisted ropes, I confirmed that the Dutch ships had, against the English, all the ropes turned to transport, even stays. This is confirmed in publications by Ab Hoving, such as "The Ships of Abel Tasman" and on replicas of Batavia and Duyfken..
So I used the table of the Czech modeler marsalva, to whom I would like to thank very much for the information, because the system dropped my trial and I don't have to invent the invented ones, For a 3x1 rope, which is braided from three clockwise threads, the threads must first be turned to the left, elongated by 3.6 percent and then pre-spun to the left to form a clockwise thread.
During this, I ran the threads several times between my fingers and the resulting cable, which is more hairy, went through the flame of the candle and the resulting cable P 3x1 with a thickness of 0.37 mm is great !!
