It's great to see what you're doing from the de'agostini model.

NMBROOK got a reaction from Dimitris71 in Sovereign Of The Seas by NMBROOK - Scale 1/84 - based on the works of Van De Velde the elder
It has been a while since my last update,although I have been doing lots of hours on the build,it doesn't really show.I have now profiled the hull inside.I have cut and relined the main gunports on the starboard side(upper ports still to do.) the gunports have been cut on the port side but lining to finish.I made a start with the internal planking on the inside of the starboard side.I am only representing caulking on the decks internally.The first deck beam shelf is in position and notched.I have now told myself I must complete all the railings before going any further as I am fed up of breaking the uprights.I have made a start on this as my pictures show.There are some gunports to cut out in these but I shall do that when they are all in place.The red is coloured veneer,not paint.
Kind Regards Nigel

After considerable deliberation,I felt my build was missing something,an interior.I haven't posted for a bit,but I have been busy beavering away.I wanted to utilise full cannons and carriages throughout.In order to do this I had to remove 20mm of solid birch ply infill at the bottom and smooth off the inner walls of the hull.I then shaped pieces of lime to the inside profile on the scroll saw to build up the hull thickness to nearer scale.The sections were left overthickness to allow for interior profiling.These were bonded in two at a time and allowed to dry before continuing to avoid hull distortion.It has meant that I get to cut the gunports all over again .I have started work around the top of the hull completing the railings as I go in the hope of avoiding breaking anymore railing uprights.The plan is to fully plank the interior and other than the lower gundeck that will be fully planked,the rest will have sections of planking missing to be able to see the insides,navy board style.

Nigel,
I agree with Ferit... but my choice is to sit here dumbfounded. Amazing work... just amazing.

Which choice is right after having seen your updates at every turn?!...
To comment with deep praises that you completely deserve...
Or to contemplate dumbfounded...

NMBROOK reacted to md1400cs in Wasa by md1400cs - FINISHED - Corel - 1:75
Hello everyone,
Small update, still working on adding details to the weather deck. I started the first series "mooring stays"? Is that what these are called?
In any case here is the first example. I will follow that with the second style, which is still in progress. Pics are self explanatory, assuming they post in order (:-)
PS: Those upper and lower deck cannon entries are so irritating to look at. I should have recessed the framings Grrrrrrrrrrr. Much too late for that fix...
Regards,
Michael

Hey all!
Working more slowly, but I have done a little progress on the towers. I have also redone the angles of the pinacles of the top towers.

NMBROOK got a reaction from Script in Ratlines....why so important.....
I get completely what you are saying Jim.You choose ships to build without lots of rigging and ratlines,it is the original subject that dictates this.I myself prefer to work with wood rather than thread.I don't think this detracts from the skill involved to build a model,you only need to look at some of the Navy Board style models in the scratchbuild section.If it is your hobby then surely do what you most enjoy.Personally I would rather spend hours carving ornaments than tying knots.I think many of my future builds will be stubmasted,compounded by the fact I do not have a full size museum at home to display all the ships on my build list.One fully rigged first rate takes up more space than three admiralty style ones.
Kind Regards Nigel

NMBROOK reacted to augie in Ratlines....why so important.....
And just to clarify my position.... there is nothing less 'magic' about a boat or ship designed without ratlines. I greatly appreciate canoes, whaleboats, tugboats , submarines and heavy metal battleships. We are, after all, modelers.
