src Posted March 22, 2014 Share #121 Posted March 22, 2014 Vivian, I love it! I know I have said it before, but I love the "worms eye" pictures, really brings the build to life. Thanks for the info on the lanterns, I never doubted you you know. I was just thinking that even a lantern would have a degree of flicker to it. No matter, your build and at the risk of sounding condescending your doing a fine job of it!

Vivian Galad Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share #122 Posted March 22, 2014 Frank, u´r welcome. If not for the light, ppl would barely see something in there. After some thought I found myself lazy on letting my bed be the way it was. ^^ Popeye, I have already added the stanchions and cap rail. Kit´s instructions really passed over that and the ship as it´s shown, has this major failure to it. The beams are there, though - but I´ll have to modify them. No fore decks on plans and thanks for the tips. As I evolve in building these ships, more I come to the realization scratch is the way. Sam, never thought u doubted ^^. Only brought the info for I had it on hand. The candle use on ships is more an economic problem than fear for fire. Before 1500s candles were too expensive - wax candles, which were 20% brighter and lasted 2 times more than animal fat candles (the more common type used) were 4 times more expensive. Oil was abundant and so, had it´s price better placed for using on ships. Starting at the 16th century, wax candle fabrication technology improved and then, became popular. Many thanks for the compliment. ^^ popeye the sailor, BETAQDAVE, src and 2 others 5 Quote Current: Red Dragon (modified) by Vivian Galad - Artesania Latina - 1:60 Oseberg (modified) by Vivian Galad - Amati (1:50)Cocca Veneta by Vivian Galad - Corel - 1:70 Finished 15th Century Latin Caravel kit model from Artimanha models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziled68 Posted March 25, 2014 Share #125 Posted March 25, 2014 Dios mio Mija, That is outstanding what you've been able to accomplish. I mean the simple act of adding the lights gives it a lot of class. Out of curiosity, will this be a night light for someone? Please continue to work and inspire all of us to try a little bit harder on our builds.

janet bode Posted March 26, 2014 Share #129 Posted March 26, 2014 Hi Vivian As i am building the RED DRAGON along with you i must say how very impresed with level of detail you have incorparated into your model.At the rate you are proceding you will over soon over- take me, my model does not incoperate any internal detail but i have modyfied the model structually because because i wanted practise differant methods of construction for for later models.The rudder is made from four pieces of Walnut dowled together it reaches up into the hull just for one inch where i have drilled a hole. the top of the rudder shaft comes through and is connected by a piece of brass rod sure makes it easy to take it out since the tiller is fitted. The top front frame (the one that fits on the deck near the bow)once its glued on can be used as a guide as you sand the edge the deck prior glueing on the bullwarks, any i hope have been of help, my model has a few mods so perhaps not exactly as it should be. anyway kind regards: Janet B Vivian Galad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vivian Galad Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share #141 Posted April 22, 2014 Well, as I promised, here are some pics. Hope to get to her as soon as possible - since this is what I did about a month ago. Here I was on a start to make side rails and all. On the original plans from AL, there is no planks on the inside, as no stanchions to hold everything up. As my feelings said it wasn´t possible, I searched some pictures to confirm and see that´s all necessary - AL has being putting some wrong in our world I would say. That´s all, for now. My main occupation now will be the doors to the cabin, since I want them to be functional. Already lost some time in that, since scale won´t help. Any ideas are always welcome ^^ NAZGÛL, Griffon, SHIPSCAT and 13 others 16 Quote Current: Red Dragon (modified) by Vivian Galad - Artesania Latina - 1:60 Oseberg (modified) by Vivian Galad - Amati (1:50)Cocca Veneta by Vivian Galad - Corel - 1:70 Finished 15th Century Latin Caravel kit model from Artimanha models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(meaning thanks ^^) Sam, she needs some new photos, though, cause I already got to her and made some progress. Ty! Popeye, thank u. That arrow is to show the plank covered inside. Kit plans forgot about that and presents a very unreal view. I could not let that pass. That mark, though, is a problem I found when treating the wood later on, when it should be treated earlier. That will need some sanding, a carefull one. src and popeye the sailor 2 Quote Current: Red Dragon (modified) by Vivian Galad - Artesania Latina - 1:60 Oseberg (modified) by Vivian Galad - Amati (1:50)Cocca Veneta by Vivian Galad - Corel - 1:70 Finished 15th Century Latin Caravel kit model from Artimanha models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
