dafi got a reaction from hexnut in HMS Victory by dafi - Heller - PLASTIC - To Victory and beyond ...
@Kirill: Pricosil grün for the form and Biresin G26 for the cast.
Greatest gift of dafi? Knowing how to make chips 🙂
The characteristic of the 1920 version is the flat outer surface, so got the chisel out ...
... dug holes ...
... and flatened all.
See the "Broad Arrows" indicating it kings property 😉

Okokok, I stirred the wasp's nest. Funny how much emotion color evokes 🙂
So the 1765 version is half way ready already and the connoisseur recognizes the 2018 version on the "Hello Kitty" teint. Some versions in between are still missing.
One more cast was still left, so one more to be done.
So we have a funny little in-beween-meal, hope it suits your taste.
There we go 🙂

Still looking for the full blown report to how they came to this interpretation. I do actually say that this it is not impossible, but most other historical evidence point another - the old - direction. If anybody has a link to these studies - and I mean the real and full report and not the newspaper clips - I will be pleased to be convinced if I can follow the chain of proofs 🙂

We did not say that it is historically correct. It is just the way she is presented today 😇😇😇

And a bit of fresh permanent make-up 🙂
Plenty of white, ochre and some red. Was tricky to mix but now it is "Hello Kitty!"

As the small side projects are an integral part of my build ...
... I checked the wardrobe ...
... and picked some parts.
What is he up to now?!?

Thank you Sirs, very indulgent 🙂
Others were not. "Too uneven", "roasting spit too thick" and "handles meant for giants"
So out the scalpel and flattening all uneven surfaces and corners, getting the soldering iron out and eliminating the oversized spit.
Filed a new squared and tapered spit onto some 0,5 mm brass wire.
Inserted a new smaller bearing into the spits driving wheel ...
... and mades some more ergonomic handles.
The result looks like this:
Hope that is fine now 😉

dafi got a reaction from Mike Y in Vasa deck shift
I would not call it sloppiness, simply the awareness for symmetrical build was not jet developed 🙂
Why bothering about it, this was not the problem of this ship and would the basic trim have been better, it would have perfectly done the job. On top of it, if I remember well, they ran out of suitable timber towards the end of the build, as it was not foreseen that the ship would become that big when they put the material for the build aside.
The fine art of clean build just was developed later on, and then one can discuss which planking scheme to use. But still many model makers discuss lengthily the scheme up and down and still do not realize that for a long time still curved planks were in use 😉
