Leo-zd Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share #31 Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Thk PatrickAbout the choice of the woods... as now I am distant from any model store and I use only handy tools I use the profiles and woods I bought time ago.. generaly walnut and some light woods , and the red one (the roof ) I think is a mahogany.The deck was passed with teak warmish, after short time removed with soft textile so remained only a light toning. about the speed... unfortunately or simply the life is not only this but this is rather the way of short escape.

CharlieZardoz Posted October 17, 2015 Share #35 Posted October 17, 2015 Firstly I wanted to commend such an excellent model at such a small scale, great conversion. Next I wanted to just put the question out there is there any significant difference in the hull lines between the Lady Nelson and Jotika's Sherbourne? Aside from a different windlass, one extra row of cannon's and a few differences in deck items/rigging are the overall hull proportions the same or slightly larger. Just curious mtaylor, Leo-zd and Omega1234 3 Quote Build on hold: HM Sultana 1/64th scale Current Build: 31 ton Doughty revenue cutter as USRC Active 1/64th scale (in progress) Future Interests: Ballahoo, Diligence, Halifax and beyond...

Leo-zd Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share #42 Posted December 19, 2015 I need help or better to say different opinion As this isn't a project on real existed boat (Lady Nelson is in fact imaginary or better to say generic ship from that period) and as I decided to give it the name of one of similar HM cutters from the list of lost boats I am thinking about some modifications.I noticed that in the biggest part of ships the masts and bowsprits are a bit different of the ones from LN drawings, I think that is easiest and simply interpretation of that parts.In fact I refer to the terminal parts of mast (excuse me for my terminology) where the lover part is connected to the upper part and the part of the bowsprit inside the boat.I noticed that in other models this parts aren't with circular section but squared and I have intention to do it in that mode.

Leo-zd Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share #45 Posted January 7, 2016 The story continuesI made some small parts, practically nothing to see but much to do..Painting of the underwater part.. At the end the result isn't the one I planed.. :/My intention was to apply a very tiny color layer, and as the white never cover too much, so the structure and the distribution of hull will be partially visible. but.. but when I applied the first layer of white it was terrible, all surface structure was out of scale and the imperfections were magnified. I decided for new solution, two hands of liquid putty (Mr surfacer 1000) and sanding with used sand paper 1000.When the surface was satisfactory I applied the white... but the problems newer goes alone..I used the acrylic white with brush, the one from Revell cube..The result wasn't satisfactory. I applied two layers and gently with previously mentioned sandpaper removed al imperfections, this operation repeated for three times.This procedure created a small problem with masking tape.I used normal masking tape Tessa pink (gently, for sensible surfaces) and it works well but the thickness of all that layers of putty and color was to high so when I removed the tape I noticed some small cracking . At the end the border of color reduced with mentioned sandpaper.The result isn't the best but from other side I hope that at the end, as it is so small, it won't be so visible. amateur, archjofo, tadheus and 6 others 9 Quote build in progress: Lady Nelson - 1/119 , Loggher Le Coureur 1775 - 1/120 , Shenandoah - 1/200 , Yacht America -1/200 finished models: J CLASS - 1/150 - half-model , Shenandoah - 1/100 , Flying Fish - 1/100 , Flying Fish - 1/200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo-zd Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share #47 Posted January 8, 2016 Thk But after painting I feel very sad so to bring me up I returned to one I really love, wood, and made a bowsprit , that is life , workstation/bathroom, sandpaper, wood dust (as I haven't any type or place for working room, the gently works I do on the kitchen table but dusty and rumors works like sanding I do in bathroom ) and you could immediately see the results of work,That was real working therapy , the photos soon.

Leo-zd Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share #50 Posted January 28, 2016 bowsprit is made and the first try to fabricate blocks for cannon rig As the smallest wooden blocks is about 2mm and that is too big for my cannons I tried to produce blocks. I used the iron wire, diameter 0,5mm, and the very thin paper (used in packages of shirts) rounded around the wire and glued. Later sanded to reduce to squared section of about 1,2mm*1,2mm.The next goal will be to cut the slices of 1-1,2mm.As the dimensios are so small the photos are poor. mtaylor, kees de mol, Tadeusz43 and 4 others 7 Quote build in progress: Lady Nelson - 1/119 , Loggher Le Coureur 1775 - 1/120 , Shenandoah - 1/200 , Yacht America -1/200 finished models: J CLASS - 1/150 - half-model , Shenandoah - 1/100 , Flying Fish - 1/100 , Flying Fish - 1/200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
