Spanish Longboat - Falua - By Schrader 1:25 - Plans By Isidro Rivera

Hello all

After reviewing the Compass Rose, i realized that:

  1. The color contrast is not good
  2. The size is going to be a problem in the future
So....in the same way that this building process has been going I decided to repet it. UNADJUSTEDNONRAW_thumb_4931.jpgUNADJUSTEDNONRAW_thumb_4932.jpgUNADJUSTEDNONRAW_thumb_4933.jpg

With the same idea I install a liz flower in the back of the officers place

As well as the bench floor frame

This "Falua" has a little shield in the back side of the rudder (?? is this the right word?). Its form is curved.

So to fix it, I went attaching to pieces of basswood and made the cuts.

With the cylinder sanding tool I gave it the curve form

Today I'll show you how I made "The Pedrero"

First.... I made it in wood. This is going to work to form the mold

Third........ I use high temperature Silicone..... The firs half is ready.

I use the first half to replace the clay and repeat the process to make the second half. With a really sharp knife I do the little channels to evacuate the air at the time of the foundry.

As demolding agent I use a common powder.
The the foundry using a pewter kind metal

With a provisional masts installation this is how it looks so far

Great casting tutorial of "The Pedrero", Hellmuth! Thumbs-Up I guess, "The Pedrero" is the name for this type of swivel gun? Many, many thanks for sharing!
