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

[Schrader]

Great idea and excellent execution, Hellmuht.

You are so nice Jim. Thanks

 

[Uwek]

Very good execution - very well done

 

[Schrader]

Yesterday I started to work in the different floors. The stern floor







Two important messages

• The boat reality is different to the plans
• The decoration according with this reality is out of scale.

THEN...... this job need to be repeated.

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.

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



As well as the bench floor frame

 

[Schrader]

But......

Not everything is going smooth....... I found this big mistake



This need to be corrected. With Heat, water and a little vises ...... this was the result

 

[Schrader]

Let's start with the stern benches. These have an special form. So I decided to build like a "mold"

I duplicated them, creating a back support for the little placks.

Using the same template, I built the top of them

 

[Schrader]

This is the final result including the little top with hinges that eventually work!!!!!

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



Attached to its place

Here we are again

Time not coming back but advances have been made

After 6 attemps, the final benches were in place

Gunwale

Oar guides

 

[Schrader]

An finally the Oars

Very nice build Hellmuht. I also make oars the same ways as you.

 

[Schrader]

great!!! you put two lines instead of one. yours are even more complicated

This way I was trying to identify them as different pairs

 

[Schrader]

Ok long time with no posting.....but the Falua is already finished

Lets go with the roof

 

[Schrader]

Now the tent

 

[Uwek]

This is looking great - we would have nothing against, to see more often posts showing your progress

 

[Charles QC]

Ok that is master work

 

[Schrader]

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


Second....... I use Clay to make the first half

Good Morning

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




Second....... I use Clay to make the first half



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





Aging Process



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

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