igorcap got a reaction from aviaamator in Head figure for Oliver Cromwell
I did a lot of photos during work.
1st pfoto - test milling of pears
2nd photo shows error of combining parties in turn. I had to change machine coordinate search technique for more accurate processing
3rd photo - final figure after CNC

igorcap reacted to uss frolick in Head figure for Oliver Cromwell
Historian John Millar writes about the origins of the Oliver Cromwell, in his "Early American ships", p. 150:
'The late [Historian] Marion Brewington suggested that she had previously been a Philadelphia merchant ship called "Juno", while [author] V.R. Grimwood suggests that she was formerly a Rhode Island ship by the name of "Ye Terrible Creature". The figurehead of the lady could represent either of those former names, the latter being of course the first owner's wife, a joke entirely in keeping with the humor of the colonial period. Our own opinions, and it is no more than that, is that she was built in Providence about 1774. At the end of 1776, the Narragansett bay was occupied by a powerful British garrison and fleet at Newport which would have made it difficult to sail her in or out of Providence, so she was transferred to Philadelphia ownership and renamed "Oliver Cromwell" at that time.'

I finished production of Juno head figure for model Oliver Cromwell in scale of 1:48 from boxtree.
Technological chain of next - 3D model, then CNC milling, then hand finishing.
First time I tried 4-axis milling. It was harder than I thought, but I coped

Hello,
to build the capstan, was another challenge.
The first attempt was unsuccessful. So I started a second attempt.
The following figures show the manufacturing process.

Hello,
thank you for your nice comments.
Here are some more anchor pictures.

igorcap reacted to archjofo in La Créole 1827 by archjofo - Scale 1/48 - French corvette
Before I start my build log some information about the real La Créole and
the data from which my model will build.
The La Créole was a 24-gun corvette of the French Navy. The corvette
carried 4 x 18 pdr guns and 20 x 30 pdr carronades.
Her plans were drawn by P. M. Leroux in 1827. She was launched in Cherbourg in
May 1829. The ship took part in the French invasion of Mexico in 1838, and most
notably in the Bombardment of San Juan de Ulloa before French troops disembarked and captured the city of Veracruz.
There is a fine shipyard model on display at the Musée national de la Marine in Paris which is shown by many photos in the book of Jean Boudriot (in French).
I use the following sources for building my model of the corvette:
Jean Boudriot - Historique de la corvette 1650-1850: La
Créole, 1827
Now the images of beginning:
To be continued...
Best regards
Johann
