Ryland Craze

So, you could be up for another 30hrs work to complete both sides, a testing exercise Kevin, and that's without any consideration of copper nail heads.🫤
She will look good tho' with the copper against the black.👍

good afternoon everyone
thank you for comments and likes
day 119-3
each row, to cut and place into position is taking me about 45 to 60 mins, but i have other non boat building jobs on the go presently like gardening 

I built Oseberg a few years ago

Phase 2 - Cannon
 
I’m still here, I haven’t a lot of ship time lately due tog lots of summer activities and travel.

I have managed to complete another group of nine cannon bringing my total to 17 with eight more to go on the main deck. This is how I’m thinking of mounting them 😄

A coat of Admiralty Ironworks Black, followed by Doc O'Briens Rusty Red weathering powder.

Completed carriages airbrushed red.  I was surprised how much fine red dust ended up in my air filtration system - it even gave me a clean filters warning. I of course wore a mask and saw first hand the reason why.
  
Adding WOP to wheels and hanging them out to dry. One thing I can’t seem to sort out is how to get completely clean wheels without removing too much wood, at this point thought it’s more important to me to be consist with my dirty wheels.

I won’t bore you further with my process again, I covered it in detail back in post 361 if you’re interested. I just did it all again for nine more (one is for my 6 year old grandson, he asked me to make him one) and will again for the remaining eight, and once again later for the eight q-deck and forecastle guns. Perhaps of passing interest, each cannon consists of 28 separate parts. No shortcuts here, just gotta get in and do it.
 
One thing I brushed over in the earlier post was the capsquares. Doing them with the hinge, latch, and pin is a bit of a fun getting the four pieces consisting of 30 pound black monofilament, 24 gauge wire, and black paper to come together to fit there properly on top of the carriage. I can’t say enough about the power of powder in the form of Doc O’Briens Weathering Powders. Somehow Rusty Red combines with the plastic cannon and Ironworks Black paint to create an nice gun metal finish. I took it one step further and also added it to the capsquares after first also painting them with the Ironworks Black. Once buffed up it brings all the plastic, wire, and paper into a uniform appearance creating a nice looking brushed metal appearance (at least mini-me thinks so). A lot of time spent making these in addition to assembling the cannon - well worth it.

It’s starting to look like a warship (they’re just sitting there temporarily).  I was going to take a break from them and build the capstan or the stove, but now I think I’ll go ahead and make the remaining main deck guns while the steps are fresh.
 
Thanks for stopping by, hope you’re all enjoying the summer. I’m having eggs for breakfast these days since I can just cook them out on my Texas driveway.

Thank you very much.

Close Ups
 
Dry fitting, adjusting, painting the details, working towards the superstructure glue up.  Debating about the big gun barrels, leave brass, or paint black, probably black….
 
I just love the character of this ship!
 





 

 
 

As a little bonus the Tamiya kit includes 5 British infantry.  I’ve never built and painted figures before.  I’ve seen and admired Old Collingwood’s napoleonics however and will draw my inspiration from his magnificent diorama.  Please keep your expectations here low as will I and none of us will be disappointed with the outcome!  🤣

You can tell a real ship builder designed and built that roof... {chuckle} Looks like an upside down boat hull....
 
But then tapering like it is it's probably the only way to do it quickly, and truly custom....
 
It's nice to see the principles of hull engineering applied like this, very innovative....
 
Well done...

Well.... I could say that everything went as planned ..... but I'd be lying...
The widths of each frame were spot on, but a couple of them needed a bit of tweeking, trimming or packing to to get them aligned to an acceptable standard. Took a full day to get them set up and to cut and install the top ridge.

Today the side ridge spacers were slotted into place and finally the knees were fitted to brace frames and secure them to the side walls. All is now nice and rigid. Bit like making the tackles for every middle deck gun, the knees will all be hidden eventually, but we know they're there....



Next task will be to add the ply sheets. In the mean time the plastic sheeting and tarpaulin are back in place in anticipation of the heavy rain and thunder storms that have been forecast.
Cheers,
Graham.
 

Welcome Igor. I'm looking forward to seeing your models. 

Welcome, Igor!!

Welcome to Model Shipworld Igor.  Your Ukranian Egg is beautiful and masterfully done.  Welcome Aboard!

Welcome on board Igmar!

Welcome!

Planking one slowly at a time. Bending edgewise is a cool trick. I learn something new with each step. 
 
I'm envious of those who have great talent doing these crafts. 
 

 

Wow!  Your work is amazing.

Hi Igmar and welcome to Model Ship World.  I look forward to seeing your models.

Hi Igmar and welcome to Model Ship World.  I look forward to seeing your models.

Hello colleagues.
I am communicating with the help of a virtual translator.
Recently I created an author's channel on YouTube, where I show and tell about technologies of assembly, conversion and self-manufacturing of scale models, as well as show examples of work with tools, equipment and materials. Come in, watch, subscribe. There's nothing to see on TV anyway. 🙂

You can immediately see the hand of the master.

Thank you for the warm welcome.
I will probably disappoint many people, but I can't share photos of my ship modeling work yet, but technologies that might be useful for building a ship can be seen on the channel.  I think that after a while, I will take up building, very much want to collect a battleship "Tsesarevich" in scale 1/350.

Remarkable and that it's your father's work makes it even that much more remarkable. I guess we all chase after our fathers hand. 

Hi Igmar welcome to MSW
I am glad to be retired, I used to build models for customers ( not ships )
Will go and have a look at your YouTube channel
