Now I see how small it is I double and redouble my admiration.

Thank you very much Smithy & the likes

Close to the finishline. I did the knees for the benches, some metalwork and attaching the rudder.

Next will be the ten oars ... arghhhhh ....

cheers

Lovely work. On the scratch boat I made to accompany the Vasa these tiny bits (like the knees) started to eclipse the tolerances of the pear wood. You seem to have done better. My 1:64 oars nearly ended me. My best wishes for the 1:72 version. I have nothing but the utmost respect for this level of modeling.

It's always so motivating to read your comments Paul, thanks for that. Thanks to all the likes also!! I appreciate it!

Puhhh the ten oars are done .... not fun ... haha. Some small stuff today before calling it done

cheers

Wonderful modelling Dirk, your work is an inspiration to many of us.

Once again a wonderful model from the artist Dirk. Thanks for showing it

The model is beautiful!
I am curious about the length of the oars. The following by David Steel is from 1797 for English ships' boats so may not apply but you may find it interesting.

Thanks so much pugwash, Roger, Charlie, Allan & the likes

Finally it is done. I might "play" later and add a compass, water barrel and a small anchor but for now it is "kit complete". What a fun to build this little boat I hope to get another one when Igor is doing a new run later the year.

cheers

Dirk

Hi Dirk
The model is one of the finest ship's boat models we have seen here at SoS, congratulations. This may sound silly but I also love the base as well. It looks like it came from a weathered old piece of driftwood or similar and it adds to the overall look.

Congratulations Dirk. A fine little boat model!

 

[RogerD]

I can only echo what the others have written and certainly you built a fantastic boat.

Great box art
As for "another one" - Igor says that he will soon make a small series (about 10 pcs) of the kit. If anyone wants to buy one, please send me a personal message.

It doesn't get any better than this! Fantastic Dirk

Order request submitted.

I'd feel a fool not to!

The boats are amazing, the level of detail is top-notch!

Just reviewed your excellent build and have several questions....

-what is the wood (boat and oars)?
-method of char removal?
-what kind of glue's did you use?
-does the builder have to make his own knee's and metalwork?

Have you suggestions regarding masting and rigging for such a boat?

Thanks for this inspirational thread.
Often taken for granted: your photography is just as skilled as the model.
Looking foreward getting my own example.
