     Have you ever encountered any problems with your LED lighting systems other than replacing batteries?  Once everything is made inaccessible with the decks installed, it would really be irritating to have done all that work and be unable to remedy the problems!

Hello Dave,

Well, I have never had problems with LED in models, but I always test lighting for a longer time than definitely close the decks. I want to be sure that it will work reliably.

I also use LED lighting in real cars and there were sometimes problems (current shocks, overvoltage) , so I use more efficient resistors to prevent it.

 

 

My dog-helper is already O.K., unfortunately I cannot continue with this fine work and tiny details now because of my accident. Hope I'll be all right soon.

 

Best regards

Hello Druxey,

do not worry, it's not serious, I just have a wounded hands and some bruises after a fall. It is a terrible winter weather in our country now and I had bad luck. Now I can take some time for studying information about real ships and thinking how to apply them and make the most realistic model as possible.

I enjoy education and possibility to know more about real ships.

 

Kind regards

Doris

Hello dear friends, 
thank you very much for your care and wishes, it is already better. I even managed to modify gunports on the stern yesterday to be at the right position and I made them closed. My hands still pain, but soon I may be able to do fine work as well.

Doris, we have future wedding plans! You HAVE to take care of yourself, please be careful!

 

(You'll get tired of that old boring husband at some point, I know it)

 

Seriously, protect those hands, they do things very few people in the world can do.

Hi Rob,

I am glad you like my modification. It is not easy to build the model without exact plans and drawings. And moreover I do not have a good estimate for the right position or proportions so I have to correct some errors time from time...

Thank you, dear friends. I promise, I'll be more careful next time. I feel better now and soon I will go on again with sculpting.

And are you sure, you are courageous enough? 😉 Cause I am really very vivacious and as I have already written - a pretty devil with adventurous nature:

Only my husband is able to tame me.😄

 

And I'm going to be more careful on my hands next time, I promise.

 

******************************************************************

 

I am going to create a pedestal - there will be dolphins or fish sculptures under the huge hull and I would like to make them according to period models. Here are some  commercial products; few years ago I made these sculptures of "Pegasus" on the pedestal for Sovereign of the Seas: 

 

Podstavce.thumb.jpg.e2788584b0b646d36ddaa9cd127281eb.jpg

 

Now I am inspired, for example, by the period model of the Saint Michael:

Today it was sunny day and I managed to take some nice pictures of the bow decoration, so youcan also enjoy them. The sculptures will be modificated by weathering to achieve more natural look.

And here is the beginning of making pedestals - I have prepared accurate card templates and now I will shape them from modelling clay. The reinforcement will be also necessary, cause the model is quite heavy.

Hi Doris,

 

I have long admired those dolphin supports in contemporary models, and have vaguely thought about making something like that for my own project. I look forward to seeing how you make these!

Yes, I too look forward to your tutorial.  That's a great idea and now I am planning to create mounting rests for my VOC ship "Surabaya" with crocodiles and sharks.  Why? Because the name Surabaya is a combination of the Sura = crocodile and buaya + shark in the Indonesian language.  Thanks for the idea.

 

Cheers,

Piet, The Flying Dutchman.

Thank you Mark, Druxey and Piet for your feedback and support, I appreciate your words a lot.

 

I have just started making rear support, it is much more difficult than I have expected, but step by step I will manage it. Here are first pics from process, you can also see there all my tools I use for modelling sculptures from clay ( except the main ones - my hands of course....). The dolphin supports will be stylized according to period models from museums.

BTW, I love dolphins and I have had an opportunity to cuddle and swim with them several times. I will never forget such amazing enjoyment.
