druxey Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share #430 Posted April 15, 2016 Thanks, gentlemen all. One of the 'dignitaries' who would have sat in the coach was Sir Thomas Hardy. He was Governor of Greenwich Hospital from 1834 to 1839. I forgot to mention one other item on the 'to do' list: the stern badge.

JohnE Posted April 17, 2016 Share #436 Posted April 17, 2016 It's just like Mark said. The craftsmanship is simply impeccablr. I also like your model paradigm. I can imagine Hardy sitting in the stern with his cheeks strewn with tears remembering the last voyage of his great captain on just such a vessel.

druxey Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share #439 Posted April 18, 2016 Well, some progress to report. The ensign staffs are done. They were made and tapered using the usual square to octagon to round method. The trucks plus a few inches below them are painted gold. I scored around each staff to act as a stop for the paint: it was too small to mask conventionally. For those wondering why the pace has slackened a bit, I've another project to announce shortly. tadheus, shipmodel, mobbsie and 43 others 46 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druxey Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share #442 Posted April 19, 2016 Thank you all, yet again. Today's work was on the Hospital badge that is mounted high on the boat's stern over the upper transom. The pictures are self-explanatory. At this scale the paintwork is more impressionistic than accurate! I'll be refining the shell on the fore side of the badge more.

cog Posted April 20, 2016 Share #447 Posted April 20, 2016 So that shell is approximately 12 x 8 mm ... and you still could make a plain visible relief, and a darn decent looking painted badge on it to, which is even smaller (8 x 4 mm???) It looks amazing ... knowing the scale it looks nearly impossible ...
