Langoustier by mhmtyrl -1:35 - Finished

[mhmtyrl]

hello everybody

 

I have recently started my new model Langoustier. The hull planking is finished and I am planking the deck.

Hi Mehmet

 

Wow!  Looks like another beautiful addition to your fleet has started.  Although the hull's just been planked, it doesn't take much effort to imagine what she's going to look like when she's finished.  Full of weathering, salt-spray, atmosphere, rust, grime, fishing gear, etc and above all, character; that's for sure.

 

Please count me in!

 

Cheers

thank you :-)

 

this time I tried hard to make it look more like traditional with stealer planks etc :-)

[mhmtyrl]

hello every body, progress so far....

 

I would like to have your opinion, do you think the inside of the bullwark be better painted or left plain as in the photos?

 

 

thanks

Hello Mehmet,

I would leave it as it is. It looks like it is a genuine langoustier.

 

many regards,

hello everybody

 

I have made some progress, deck buildings are constructed (not glued to the deck yet) and the body is painted-weathered. some salt streaks are applied to the outer hull. in order to remove the paint at random locations, I first applied varnish to the whole body and painted aftterwards when dried. Applying the masking tape and detaching it at random locations leads to loss of paint on those areas, but better to be carefull....as a large area of paint can be lost :-) which actually happened in the green painted area of the outer hull....

Once again, simply outstanding weathering!

thank you patrick :-)

[mhmtyrl]

dear all

 

I will be glad if you have any ideas about my question;

actually I was planning the deck buildings to be in the color of the photo below (Dagmar Aaen, Germany). in the records it says that oregon pine was used for this (if I am not wrong). I also used pine (it was all wet when I found it and was in the color I wanted) and applied around 3-4 layers of varnish on it but I could not reach the color I like, what would you suggest for that? pinotex? if pinotex which color? oak? pine?

 

thanks 

 

Mehmet

[mhmtyrl]

hello everybody

 

I am finished with the sails and the windlass, next will be the deck items and the crew.

[IgorSky]

Very good work, Mehmet !
Congrats!

[Omega1234]

Ok, Mehmet

 

I give up.  I just don't know how you do it.  You make things look so easy, that it's ridiculous!!!!!

 

You, Sir, are just a master model shipwright.

 

Magnificent work.

 

Cheers

[mhmtyrl]

Thank you all for comments and likes. 

 

Omega dont give up :-) thank you very much for the comments.  In fact it is easy after you get it, after lots of trial and error.  If interested i can help you with the methods

[mhmtyrl]

hello everybody

 

some progress so far, I have made the deck items such as crab traps, barrels, buckets and buoyancy materials.

.....and figures. Figure faces are awful I know :-)

 

especially captain's face looks as if he has recently been out from a horror movie....I do not know what to do....in you tube videos all look  pretty easy to make.

 

I guess it will be finished in few weeks

Very nice model, Mehmet.

I like very much the way how you paint and weather it without exaggerating.

I am looking forward to see the finished model.

 

Lots of regards,

 

G.L.

Hi Mehmet

 

I'm totally gobsmacked at those figures!  Can you explain how you made them?  Were they carved, or sculpted out of modelling clay?  Either way, they look terrific.

 

i especially love the effect that you've created as the crew strain to launch the pot over the side.  A picture paints a thousand words!

 

Cheers.

Patrick the figures are resin casted soldiers at the scale,

the guys working on the crab trap are tank repair crew man

the captain was an army police man had to be converted to a captain :-)
