  1. When I painted my Pelican/Golden Hind I found these possibilities. The number behind the examples indicates which way was most common. No painting (the word "niets" behind the examples) was actually the most common way. But, that's not much use to us model builders, not?? 😉
  2. It's been a while since I built a military model. So, here we go. This time it is an Italian Autoprotetto S37 General info https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/italy/Fiat_SPA_Autoprotetto_S-37.php Box and contents http://acemodel.com.ua/en/model/411 Start There's a lot of flash to the parts. This model is from a short run production, the mold was probably in service for a while when my model was cast the parts for the superstructure after much cleaning, sanding and fitting Engine compartiment (same problem) The worst part is over 😉
  3. Building swivel guns Some info is found on this thesis. But, A future Doctor in the pfilosofhy, at the school of music humanities media. Who writes a thesis about a sunken shipwreck A weird combination, that is way beyond my understanding 😥 but the info in his thesis is very interesting step1 drawings and start building barrels and chambers current status
  4. The last ropes from the main sail are attached on some drawings this line goes up to the bowsprit (arrow). So this became improvising (there was no more room left in this place) ... I think the rigging is done someone is happy 😉 The following months will be spent making swivel cannons, anchors and flags
  5. The mizzen sail rigging is completed I took this image as an example. The "where and how" all these ropes are attached on deck is purely on "feeling and good luck" 😇 General overview Outrigger with rigging Martnets and outrigger Tack Lift with crow's feet Halyard and rope coils Had an idea to put some attributes on the deck. Nothing is glued yet, and it doesn't look like a good idea... Thanks for following comments and likes
  6. A long time ago I learned to make molds at school. Our first, and only, mold that we had to make was of course much simpler 😉. I don't think it was technically possible, in that time, to provide these holes directly and at the right angle without the extra hawser pieces.
  7. It is indeed an unusual method. But on the model in Berlin museum it is also this way http://www.wasadream.com/Index/indexenglish.html
  8. I started riging the mizzen sail. The rest of the main sail rigging will be done after this. Preparations. Shaping of the sail is done on the mast itself (With an alert cat on the background...) zzzz.... 😇 This weekend the display case was adjusted. This case was designed a long time ago for military models only, not a wide sailing ship. The mizzen sail is attached. For now, the rigging of the mizzen is a mess. I have more ropes than attachment points to be continued 👍
  9. Very nice cammo, spot on 👍 (One of the three Churchills at alamein.)
  10. I would go for white or wood color. I built my SR "out of the box" a long time ago, with a black bottom. that's the only thing i regret about my model
