HMS Tiger 1747 by Siggi52 - 1:48 - 60 gun ship from NMM plans


Recommended Posts

Thank you Amalio and hello to all, also thank you all for your likes. 

 

Today only a small update. I started planking. Around the riding bits it was really a challenge, but at least I got it. If you see there some irregularities in front or behind the hatches, that is sawdust. So don't worry. ;)

Hello and thank you all for your likes,

 

today I finished the planking of the gun deck and I made also the spirketting. I think that I need the next week for relaxing my fingertips and let here and there some new skin growing ;) These riding pices are very hard and stable.

I build the deck without the margin plank, you would't see it later. The waterway I will install in the slit between the deck and the spirketting.

Hello,

 

thank you Nils and all others for your likes. Today only a small update. The men installed the waterway and thereby the planking of the deck is ready. Now the paint and varnish can dry. 

 

Next I think I must made the cheeks. :( The head has the tendency to bent to the left. It's now only a little, but nobody knows what will come in the future. There went something wrong when installing the head and I hope I will stop that with the cheeks installed.

Hello,

 

it is done, the cheeks are mostly ready. First some pictures before I have painted them.

Here I started painting them. That was from the feeling more work then building them. But this is only the basis paint :( The real hard work begins tomorrow,  all these small acanthuses.

Hello,

 

and thank you all for your likes.

Today I finished the long feared paint job :( I do not like it very much, but to the end my hands get more calm and I think the result is not sooo bad ;)

 

At one of the pictures with the cheeks not painted, you may have seen that the left one was a little higher than the right one. That came because the treenail was in a wrong hole. I saw it first at the picture and went immediately down into the basement to see what had happens, but all is ok. :)

And here you see why I do not like the job very much, it's all so small.

Hello Hubac,

 

no, I'm not unhappy with the result. That is fine. I just do not like this kind of job. It's all soooooo small, the paint sticks to the brush and would't flow, the hands tremble and so on. 

Regards,

Siggi

Hello Carl,

 

for these small cheeks you need no stick to support your hands. I painted them not installed and they are still not fast installed. As I wrote, to the end of the job my hands get more calm. That are just the nerves.

Regards,

Siggi

Hello and thank you all for your comments and likes,

 

I was not very busy the last week, but I made the hawse hols with the linings and bolsters.

The next things are the trail boards between the cheeks. I have a trail board, all in ocker but only the little dragon in green, in my mind. I saw it somewhere, but I did't find that picture again. If anyone has that picture, or know where I could find it, tell it.

If it's any help, try to control your breathing while painting small detail. That will steady your hands. Nevertheless, your painted decoration looks beautiful.

Thank you Druxey, 

and also all others for your likes. 

 

The main problem I have when painting such small things, is my nervousness. When I see that it works, my hands get more and more calm. But again, thank you all for your tips. 

Regards,

Siggi

Hello,

 

today I finished the small dragons, who keep Leo's feet warm :rolleyes:

I glued them to a piece of scrap wood, with a piece of paper between, so that I could hold them better
