  1. There are "ammo" 2 chests (speculative own design) one for the fore castle and one for the rear castle. Painting the swivels. First a mat black base with a wash with thinned metal color. then the swivels are "colored" with pencil and polished with a soft paper tisseu. result
  2. Painting I'm going for a 3-color Italian camouflage. For the interior, some converted russian PPSh 41 which now should look like Baretta's model 38 Painting and drybrushing ready
  3. Nice model 👍 And
  4. Thanks. Continue with the Protetto The rear is only sparsely detailed. Better Front under construction. A 16th century 1/45 English swivel opposite to an Italian 1/72 Autoprotetto.. 😇
  5. Fortunately for me, there are people who do like to go to school. Thank you Mr. Corey Malcom for your study and the drawing of a swivel gun 👍. Continue building the swivels. The wedge should be connected to the swivel with a chain or rope. I'm going to give it a try. If it doesn't work, then it is without A 16th century 1/45 English swivel opposite to an Italian 1/72 Autoprotetto... Thanks for comments,likes and following
  6. 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?? 😉
  7. The same comment as always 😉. Great work Ondras 👍
  8. 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 😉
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. Nice work and enjoy your meal 👍
  12. 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
