Thanks for sharing this Sunday morning fix with mere mortals. I'm still struggling with how to drive a nail properly.

Best, Ian

Very nice gold painting! I'm wondering, did you sand it to get the excess paint off, or some thing else? Thanks!

I scraped it with an exacto blade, not sand it. I tried initially to wipe it with a cloth but it didn't worked so well. The sanding also didn't worked as the dust would fill the holes where the paint was.The scrapping did the trick.

It's beautiful work on the gilding, Alexandru.   I like the way you did the steps and the "roof" also.

G'day Alexandru

Again Bravo!

Great website!

One question thought, how did you make the arch and curved fancy timber work the on curved area? See photo below. Can't wait for for your next mind boggling log!

Thank you so much for sharing your techniques. I was a bit of a bummy to ask after I saw what you did.

Thanks a million Alexandru.

Hi Alexandru,

 

     While I've never been a big fan of HMS Victory models I can't help but follow your work on this one.  It's over-the-top nice,,,,, just gorgeous!  When you are finished with it I hope it ends up in a place where it can be viewed by lots of people.  Anything less would be a crime.  You are quite the craftsman, a true artist.  Thanks for sharing with us.

I really wish to become 48 times smaller for an hour to crawl inside this amazing replica. Tom is right, you are building a piece that is above the average museum quality!

Alexandru,

 

Your ship is sooo beautiful. Everytime I visit your new postings, I tell myself that I can't possibly be once again in awe of your work. But yes every visit has new  magic for the eyes and the senses.

 

Tom is right this work NEEDS to be seen by many - It deserves to be. And NOT against a wall. A "walk around" is a must. Brilliant indeed.

 

In fact, in my humble opinion, it should be on display aboard the HMS Victory, to give the millions who visit her an incredible miniature view of the actual build plank by plank

Alexandru,wow,this has got to be the most spectacular models of Victory I have seen.I am not a big fan of too much paint on my own models,I would rather let the beauty of the timber shine through,so your build appeals to me greatly :wub:  :wub:  :wub: .

Stunning work!

 

Kind Regards

G'day Alexandru

.

I'm like everyone else, we are in total respect of your craftsmanship! I'm so glad that you have taken your time to take photos of even the smallest detail, from start to finish.

I'm haven't used ebony myself, but I believe it's very brittle, so its is amazzzzzzzzing how you bent it in your previous photolesson.

Again brilliant mate.

I don't like looking as a parasite, but I'm all the time waiting for your updates for sucking the sap of shipbuilding from a master builder!

And once again my vampire-like thirst has been satisfied ;) I've just learned an easy and effective method to install the bowsprit-deck gratings: thank you so much!!!
