Ten-oared boat 25 feet, Scale 1:72 by Falconet

[Dubz Modelling World]

Thank you so much for your kind comments @Tobias: There is no seal between the planks. The reddish look is a bit over from the cam.

Thee is no way to get the jig out without destroying it. It is by intention

I did the stem and keel parts, as I wrote I had some self-made issues there (I was too hasty when sanding) so improvising is needed and later some more hiding of the flaws ... hehe. I also started the Interieur. It's a great detailed tiny boat and fun to do as everything fits quite well

cheers

I can't get over the skill being demonstrated here on this tiny boat model.

Hello Dirk,
for me you are one of the “greats” with your craftsmanship and your ideas. Thank you for showing them.

 

[Uwek]

Great work
I love this little detail with marking the correct height of the first plank with the help of the small notches -> very good idea
Very good quality with this small boat -> or where did you get this extreme big hands?
But definitely it is a very interesting and well developed kit - and a very good modeler is working on this

 

[pugwash]

Me-oh-my, this is terrific!

Where can I purchase this kit, please?

 

[Dubz Modelling World]

Thank you Paul, reading such nice comments from someone with your skills is always very motivating!

Many thanks also to Charlie, Uwe and pugwash (sorry the kit is out of production afaik) and all the "likes".


And more progress with the tiny boat

cheers

Dirk

Marvelous work at this or any other scale. I can only dream of being able to plank like this.

Hi Dirk,

A question...how are you holding the boat as you work on it? When constructions are small and light I find the hardest thing is keeping them from moving around while I am trying to add bits and pieces. A small vice? Double sided tape? Thanks for any insight you can provide. Love your work!

 

[Dubz Modelling World]

Hi Paul,

up to now nothing special but my hands Double sided tape would be my choice though when needed.

cheers

Dirk

Beautiful work on those boats Dirk, so impressive.

 

[Dubz Modelling World]

Thank you Roger & the likes

Eyebolts done, backrest done (removeable), two more benches done (have to redo them as they are not wide enough for my hull (maybe humidity)).1

It is very challenging removing the laser char on items so damn small. But it is really important to do so and also to sand the wood removing burn marks and get it smooth. After that Danish Oil is applied and a little bit of polishing. Without a smooth surface it will not look good in that scale.

And some macros ....

cheers

Dirk

 

[Walterone]

Just an incredible precision. Are you from a family of watchmakers?

 

[Dubz Modelling World]

I did more metalwork and I can tell you bending loops around a 0.2mm rod is not fun ... I also did a simple stand for the boat

cheers

Dirk

 

[pugwash]

I WANT ONE.

GIMMEE, GIMMEE !!!

 

[RogerD]

Great metalwork.

That stand may be simple but it’s perfect to serve its purpose and not detract from that beautiful boat.

 

[AllanKP69]

Great boat and presentation Dirk.
