Queen Anne Barge by Rustyj - Syren Ship Model - 1:24


Recommended Posts

Next I worked on the iron strap along the outside edge of the stem. The strap is laser cut from laserboard

which is resin impregnated paper and already blackened.After the pieces were glued in place holes were

drilled to accept 22 gauge wire  which simulated the bolts. After the wire was cut and sanded smooth

they were painted black and then some rusty brown weathering powder was applied to give it a more 

metal look.

Next up it will be assembling the thole pins, placing them and then more painting!

Thank Grant and Kurt. Thanks for all the likes too! 

 

I'm really liking the weathering powders. Adds a whole new look.

If you hadn't told us, Rusty, I would have thought it IS metal.   Beautiful work all around on this model.

Thanks Christian. I look forward to your building this too!

 

Next was to make the 20 thole pins or oar locks. These are tiny laser cut pieces and thankfully

Chuck supplies extra. A couple disappeared into the black hole of the shop floor.

As you can see they are small. They were glued in place per the plans and then painted.

 

Next up is the rudder.

Hi all,

 

I've been working in bits and pieces as I can find the time to get into the shop.

 

I've made the tiller and added the rudder.

 

IMG_2695.thumb.JPG.01d286fc0372faaafaecf27369f77927.JPG

 

IMG_2696.thumb.JPG.bce38fb1b239d61037eb92836ae03e5b.JPG

 

I then assembled the sweeps, sanded them to shape, painted them and added the printed dolphin as well as the simulated leather band on the tip.

IMG_2705.thumb.JPG.dcad18f1a77563fbf38120688391b1a2.JPG

 

Here are the flags and flag staffs assembled and painted.

IMG_2700.thumb.JPG.8803c1cff85d622258fc59b14774ffd8.JPG

 

And here they are on the barge. The shaping isn't as good as Chucks (no surprise there) and I'll continue to tweek them.

 

IMG_2704.thumb.JPG.5d7c43d09b19df23d0b28d4b83d9d636.JPG

 

Basically I've completed her. Just some touching up here and there, figure out a display case and assemble the stands and take some finished pictures.

 

Chuck has again made an outstanding model that is fun to do, teaches you new things and of great quality.

That looks great Rusty.  The flags look very good.  One thing I would suggest is that in the future,  its better to cut the dolphins for the sweeps by cutting close around the dolphin itself.   Then you wont see the paper at all.  Then run your red paint along the edge of the dolphins to cover the white paper edge.

Ok Chuck that's a head slapping moment for me. Think I just may have to strip those off and redo them.

Thanks all for the kind words and likes.

Ok I went back, stripped off the old decorations and followed Chucks suggestion.

I don't know why I didn't catch that when doing it the first time.

Perhaps I am missing something....but how is that a dolphin?  Or is it one of those 3 Mile Island dolphins?

Hi Ben,

 

Been real busy the last couple  of months and haven't spent much time (almost none) in the work shop.

 

I'm thinking a of an acrylic box like this with a wooden base. 

 

oblong_box_520x467.jpg.5262ae9decd7193ef5944beb1d3e180b.jpg 

 

Oars on their stand in front and then on a shelf in my shop. Probably won't get to that for another 

month or so. Building a game room in the other half of the basement next to my shop.

At least I'm getting to build something! :D

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Ok after much delay I've finally got the display case and mounted the barge!

This is a wonderful kit and a lot of fun to build. Thanks Chuck.

Splendid work Rusty! Always a treat to see your work. Would be nice to see it up close and personal at one of our meetings. You are an inspiration to us all.

 

Until we can take another picture I will post it on our web site in the gallery.
