NMBROOK reacted to marktiedens in Wasa by marktiedens - FINISHED - Corel - scale 1:75 (Vasa)
Update -
Upper hull planking finally done & the small windows made & installed - I hope I got them in the right place. I made them by gluing some fiberglass window screen to some clear acetate & just touching the screen material with some brown paint & a really small brush.Also had just enough decorative brass strip left over from my last build to make the surrounds for the companionways.then i made the doors from some 1 by 3mm strips.The hinges were from my spare parts box - a little short but they will do.Now I have started on the false top timbers for the railings.By the way - there is no finish applied to anything yet so some areas may look a little spotty.
Sorry about the picture quality - I don`t have a really good camera(I don`t think I could take a good picture with a good camera anyway).

I made a stencil of the bowsprit. Will be used to match parts. Part of it is worked by hand, without the use of mechanical tools.

NMBROOK reacted to archjofo in La Créole 1827 by archjofo - Scale 1/48 - French corvette
Hello,
it has been some time since my last update to my building report.
So I made in the meantime other small but important details. So the timberheads received post covers in roof form.
Another detail to protect the hull from the anchor flukes was added.
Here you can see some pictures.
I hope that you like it,

NMBROOK got a reaction from Mirabell61 in Le Fleuron by Gaetan Bordeleau - FINISHED - 1:24
Hi Gaetan
I have followed along in the shadows for a while,but now must say I am admirer of your work,it is fantastic Two things historically you may find of interest,but you may know already.
It is officially documented that a builders model was produced for Sovereign of the Seas.This is regarded as possibly the first builders model in England.This dates to around 1637.
In 1698,Peter the Great visited the Royal dockyards and was given a model of the Royal Sovereign,this started the ship model building phenomenon in Russia that many of us are aware of today.
Kind Regards

NMBROOK got a reaction from CaptainSteve in Model Ship Building Secrets Dvd
To be honest Nils,after reading your post four times,I cannot work out whether you are having a go at me personally for posting my find of this DVD.After all in your eyes I could be seen as promoting it.My only question is,surely your argument would then apply to any modeler who chooses to write a book.After all,are they not 'cashing in' on the hobby?In my opinion a DVD is no different to a book,other than it probably does demonstrate things a little.better.
I would mention again that I have no connection with this DVD's producers.

NMBROOK got a reaction from md1400cs in Model Ship Building Secrets Dvd
Hi Marc
Here is the link to his Rivoli build on the Russian forum,and this one works It will give you an idea of the level in question.In Russia building model ships is a sport and the champions have almost the same 'fame' as say a footballer in the UK or a basketball player in the US.
Any modeler who makes his own nails from solid silver(for the colour) and then fits over 100 in each gunport lid is at the top of their game in my book.
