long time ago I posted an update here. Due to private reasons my build is very slow and some posts are on the MSW forum. I started with the small boat I re-scaled the drawing from Fred  made a mall with the frames    and made planking on the inside and outside    and the frames inside  next steps will be the further details in frames, sward, small mast with sails etc etc |

Hello Jan,
Sorry to hear about your private problems.
The boat looks great already.
If I understand correctly, you built it by applying a layer of wood on both sides of a tissue. Never seen that before.
Good luck with the progress.
Kind regards,
Jules

Thanks for your reply Jules
Firstly the private problems are caused by the attempt to sell our house, so my work space is limited and needs to be cleaned regulary. Also I am very busy with my job and a lot of travelling for weeks to the Middle East.
The technic I used for this boat have I learned on the web from a Russian builder in the past and used this earlier already for an other small boat.
Made a mall using glue for wall paper in combination with toilet paper sheets (called Papier Mache in the Netherlands). after a week the paper is fixed so you can easy glue the wood on the in and outside.

Hi Jan, Ah, still haven't sold your house. Yeah, it's difficult in the Netherlands these days to sell your house. I sold my house last year. First had to change estate agent and then had to drop the price considarably, but it worked. Happily living in France now. Interesting technique. But you have to apply the planking on both sides of the tissue. That's the double amount of work compared to the 'classical' method: shape a core of wood, place the frames on that core, cover the frames with a single layer of planking. Did you use the tissue method to have more rigidity during the rest of the build, or is there another reason to use it? Maybe the small scale made you use another method than the 'classical' one. Kind regards, Jules PS I suppose you can't take your boat model with you in your hand luggage when flying to the Middle East. Maybe you can get some work done in the slow hours overthere  |

the tissue paper is used as a "frame"to build the planking, specially due to the small size it was very difficult to make the original frames and use these for planking.
PS: on my trips I do not have so many spare times, but I took always some pdf files with me for reading some model building books/magazines

Hello Jan,
You did it! Looks great. Love the small diorama.
Which Dutch fluit did you choose?
Would you care to share on which Dutch forum we can find the build of your fluit? There are more than one...
Good luck with your new build,
Jules
