Izzy Madd Posted May 28, 2015 Share #1021 Posted May 28, 2015 Dafi, you may have answered this elsewhere so I apologise if you have....but...what are you going to do when the lower deck is 'done'? Are you going to somehow keep the upper decks open so the detail can be see or will this be buried like the Pharaohs in the pyramids? Love your work, you should consider publishing book with your photos to bring the Georgian navy to life.I second the idea of "To Victory... And Byond" the best selling book it would have to be a part work though.

JerryTodd Posted May 30, 2015 Share #1032 Posted May 30, 2015 Sea chests nearly always had loops of line for handles at either end, often covered in fancy knotwork and held on by a vertical cleat. Take a look at this site for a variety of chests and their beckets - there's a couple that date to the early 1800's. Often a painting or carving, or even something on paper was pasted inside the lid where it was protected from the abuse the chest was bound to get. A fellow digging in his sea chest with a little painting inside would be nice in your wonderful scene of happy marines. http://www.frayedknotarts.com/chests.html Izzy Madd, dafi and mtaylor 3 Quote Jerry Todd Click to go to that build log Constellation ~ RC sloop of war c.1856 in 1:36 scale Macedonian ~ RC British frigate c.1812 in 1:36 scale Pride of Baltimore ~ RC Baltimore Clipper c.1981 in 1:20 scale Gazela Primeiro ~ RC Barkentine c.1979 in 1:36 scale Naval Guns 1850s~1870s ~ 3D Modeling & Printing My Web Site My Thingiverse stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzy Madd Posted June 1, 2015 Share #1034 Posted June 1, 2015 I have read that the ponytails were covered with the skin of an eel. I am sure it made perfect sense at the time. This makes sense if you consider that hygiene if even possible would very low at best and it would keep the hiar under control and it explain some images I've. Seen in period cartoons. Where the sailors hair is rigid. And if you consider that they made the most sort after "leather" aprons from the foreskin of a blue whale why not eel skins covering hair. They make wallets out of them nowadays. And I recall them being laced up so that the hair would be rigid I just didn't realise that the wrapping was eel. And it's VERY tough and durable. mtaylor and dafi 2 Quote Ongoing builds, SCutty Sark Revell 1/350 (Mini Nannie) Cutty Sark Airfix 1/130 (Big Sis) Will (Everard) Billings 1/65 but with wooden bottom, because I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fellow digging in his sea chest with a little painting inside would be nice in your wonderful scene of happy marines. http://www.frayedknotarts.com/chests.html I mentioned this before as I've had the misfortune to make several and they are so complex and each one was different due to the abilities of the seaman and his abilities at "acquiring" the parts. But this also meant that each seaman could spot his chest in the heap. Unless they are cast I think several hundred minute Beckets are little to much to expect. Especially if Dafi intends to make them for real. Just making the central "pudding" for one makes my eyes water thinking about it never mind the whipping the splicing and the encasing. enough to mean I'd be sharing a cell with him I think. mtaylor and dafi 2 Quote Ongoing builds, SCutty Sark Revell 1/350 (Mini Nannie) Cutty Sark Airfix 1/130 (Big Sis) Will (Everard) Billings 1/65 but with wooden bottom, because I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafi Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share #1038 Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Smells like danger ... ... big danger ... ... enormous danger ... ... one of these days, I was in the bathroom and I found a new torture tool belonging to my wife: a Dermaroller! Iron Maiden just inverted, spikes outside - how that could help the skin I will never understand. But if you believe that that thing is dangerous, you are on the wrong track - the danger lies somewhere completely else!!! I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and wanted to have a closer look at the thingy, and believe it or not, it crumbled into pieces just in front of my very eyes, I solemnly declare I did not touch it - I just looked ... ... but if it is already prepared for needing reassembly I thought that I could try out something. So I took out the 1,5 mm thick pinky spacers and replaced them by 0,5 mm sheet. Used the old ones as template, so it went rather fast ... ... and reassembled the bit with only five spikewheels :-) And here it is the patented Dr. dafi Rivetroller®© :-) :-) :-) Immediately tried it out on the copperplates to get an even and parallel surface-riveting ... ... which worked wonderfully as the roller had the right thickness for the row of plates ... ... and afterwards just gave the tighter riveting on the edges of the plates with the Riveter from RB . The small vertical lines come from the nut on the back of the small riveter, me doofus did not pay attention to this small technical issue. So if it takes some time to come back to you, it could be that I am trying to learn how to drink out of a sippy cup and also I do strongly believe that it will be difficult to type with broken my fingers ... ... as I am quite sure that it will come, the scream: "Daaaaaaaarrrling, have you seen my dermaroller?" ... ... and yes that is the true danger ... ...

Try a haberdashery shop I don't know what they are called over there but they make them in various diameters an pin spacing. But they've been around for about 150 years. I know them as dress pattern markers or pounce markers. The vintage ones are best as they are blunter and cheaper. These are the dressmaking ones this is a coarse on. About 7-10 points per inch Or there's even these they are called finishing wheels. Which come anywhere between 10-40 points per inch or more and are used for book binding and leather work Top right hand corner are the leather working stitch marking wheels. And you can see the sort of range. If you go for the leather ones one place you will get them but not cheap is Tandy leather. As that is a U.S. Based store.

The finishing rollers come in all the way up to 60 TPI and some of the older ones you can barely tell they have pins they are so fine. But your version is very much cheaper. And more inventive.

Izzy Madd Posted June 12, 2015 Share #1047 Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Hi, I don't know if your aware or if it would make any difference. But John McKay's book has several alterations especially in the galley area. A steam trunk is added and the magazine forward has been altered. Also I've never seen the quarter da it's mentioned before. And as they are such a large external feature they would easily be noticed if not included.
