San Juan Nepomuceno - The Making Of

[@fortium]

Absolutely a work of art, passion, and diligence few could ever achieve. Your work is a testament to those who built, sailed, and served upon her. Bravo!!

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much for your kind words!!! I really appreciate it :)

[@wwoofthailand]

Hi John, I have watched this video 4 times. The attention to detail, the time and effort you put in to construction is obvious and much appreciated. Especially at the end of the video when you carefully show the completed work. A masterpiece! The music fits perfectly for the video and also the back ground while building the model a nice complete example of the time, patience, commitment required and the gorgeous end result. Thank you.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much for your kind words!!! I hope that you like my other "making of" as well. If you have the time take a look, i have Santa Ana, Montanes, Santisima Trinidad and a few more :)

[@MarkLewis...]

My greatest appreciation? Your choice of music and not that annoying techno-pop explosion of over repetitive noise, making everyone run for the mute button...oh yeah.... nice ship build too!

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much! I believe that classical music is the appropriate music for a model that you can see as a work of art! :)

[@edutego3184]

Congratulations from Peru on finishing your ship.Its really awesome I wish I had your discipline and will because I love model ships. I have 2 ships that I am building and seems like forever.

Congratulations, superb! I know exactly what you went through, I did it myself almost 15 years ago, and I still have it on display. I see that the kit was upgraded, the cannons have a bit more detail, and so a few other parts. But, again, you totally nailed it.

[@WEAJHD]

this is a stunning work of art. All the time, precision work and patience to make ships like this is something alot of people, myself included can't fully appreciate. Also agree with you about never putting ships like this into the water. However, i do believe if someone actually did put it in the water, it will hold the water outside, but with the lack of ballast at the keel it would most likely capsize as the center of gravity would be too high without any counterweight at the keel.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much for your kind words! You are probably right, without any counterweight it will probably capsize. Another good reason to never put it in water!

[@jasonwilliams3478]

John Aliprantis if you don’t mind, I’m planning ahead and the final finish you have on your model is perfect, high shine and properly sealed, could you tell me what product you used or if it was a combination of products? Thanks

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

@@jasonwilliams3478 No problem Jason. First i used a coat of wood sealer (think of it us undercoat). The number of the wood sealer is 1419 and you also going to need Nitro thinner. Then i used 2 coats of gloss varnish for yachts. The thinner for the varnish is white spirit. I used paintbrush and not an airgun. With the airgun you won't get the amount you need , you will get a very thin coat and also at the corners it will pill up. Another problem with the airgun is that you won't get it on every single surface, only on what you are facing, not underneath. And another problem is that the thinner comes in large amount in the solution (varnish - thinner) you are spraying and you might get damaged varnish in the corners after it dries.

Hi John, great work. I have only built double planked hull kits. This looks single plank hull, is it much harder to build single plank?

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Hi Peter, it's not that hard. Just have to follow some specific rules, like that the bow and stern have different length than the middle, so you have to make the strips thinner. Also to change the way you do the planking from a point and down. If you watch the videos i made for Montanes and Santisima for the planking you will understand it. And the outcome is amazing :)

Absolutely stunning ! I am working on the San Francisco II model and was wondering what substance you used to fill the gaps in the hull planking? The brown will match my ship's hull beautifully.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much Henri!!! I used wood putty (water based). It comes in various colors, i have 4, one for the plain wood (yellow) ,one for the sapely (brown red) and two for the african wallnut, they are brown grey, one is a little darker that the other ,so when i want a certain shade i mix them together.

[@alexandermontesinos1686]

wow tha's a fantastic model, i'm making the San Francisco from artesania latina, i am also a begginer at this, please John could make a video about how you paint your models specially the metal parts, i would thank you so much. you are great, Saludos desde Peru :D

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much!!! San Francisco is a beautiful model! I will make a video at the next model i'll make. For now i can only tell how to do it. For the wooden parts you have to use first a coat of wood sealer, then after it's dry you sand it down and you use the paint or the varnish. For all the parts i use 2 coats of varnish or paint except from the masts and yards which i use one. For the metal parts i use paints from Humbrol or Revell. Always 2 coats and before i apply the paint i use some thinner in analogy paint 80%-85% ,thinner 20%-15%. To paint the cannons you have to use some pointed tip toothpicks to lay the cannons on because you wont't be able to hold them from anywhere. After the paint will dry , you will have to use a coat of varnish on every metal part. I use paintbrushes in various sizes, the smallest one is 10/0.

[@slashusr]

Absolutely beautiful! I particulary like the way you rigged the ship's boat for readiness of deployment -- a very nice touch which I intend to copy! So, you reckon gloss is easier to clean, eh? I was thinking of a matte finish for my build... I'm building my first, Artesania Latina's 1:48 scale plank-on-bulkhead (like yours) model of the HMS Surprise, the frigate from the movie "Master and Commander". The hull is fully planked (whew!) and the lower deck is in place. I've got a loooong way to go, in other words. Really enjoyed the video. You've every right to be proud!

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much for your kind words Robert!!! It was a hard model to build but eventually she came out pretty good :) The varnish is a personal choice, along with the cleaning comes the looks and i love them :)

Do u know of any beginner wooden ship model kits and what song is this... great video by the way 👍👍

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much!!! The first music part is Waltz of the Flowers by Tchaikovsky and the second is William Tell by Rossini. I believe that the following model will be great to begin with : www.occre.com/model-ship/albatros.html

Hi John, I started building the San Juan ship model. What do you use for varnishing the second and third decks? do you use any color or stain or just a sealer? Thank you

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Hello! I use nitro wood sealer number 1419 as undercoat and clear gloss varnish for yachts after. 2 coats of varnish that is :)

[@saadsoliman5487]

@@JohnsWoodenShips Thank you John. Your videos are very helpful, especially the ones that show the mistakes in the schematics and drawings. Do you have a video for the best approach for hull planking?

Realmente un hermoso modelo y si mucho, mucho trabajo pero el resultado es absoltamente hermoso y digno de presentarlo en cualquier lugar. pero queria hacerle una consulta, será posible que estos modelos de madera pudieran ser convertidos a modelos RC y lograr navegarlos mediante un control remoto sobre agua? un saludo grande y mil felicidades nuevamente 4 meses que si valieron la pena vivirlos.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much for your kind words!!! These models are static only. To be able a model to have R/C and use it in water it's different in many ways. The wood strips are of different wood type and have different thickness. Also some models come with the keel made from a type of plastic and you have to lay the wood strips around it. Definitely the use of white glue is out of the question because it dissolves in the water. But if you built a model of this type with the thought of putting it in water then from the moment you start building it ,you have a few changes to make. First of all you won't use any white glue. Second you must not have any gaps between wood strips in the keel. You have to use a lot of wood sealer and also 2 or 3 coats of varnish or even paint to make it water proof. Definitely you have to place some weight at the bottom of the keel to make the model able to float and you don't have to forget to make the necessary space to place the batteries and R/C. I hope i was helpful! :)

Hi, John my father have the same model and I’ve got question, how you mount guns inside hull, because there is no clear instructions inside building book?

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Hi Lucas, the cannons for the lower decks are mounted from outside, they do not have a body.

[@boro6902]

@@JohnsWoodenShips did you do any support for guns from the lowest deck? Or this black line of support inside ship is enought?

The model is made by Artesania Latina that has gone out of business. You will find it only in a shop as a stock. A quick search on Google will give you some results.
