Today I am bring a video of how I make sculptures out of modeling clay:
I will insert here some videos, so you can enjoy the progress from the beginning to the end.
Pegasus - sculpting step by step from modeling clay
Part 1 - defining the basic form:
Part 2 - shaping the head and body

After modelling several crew members I continued with quarter galleries
and the stern. Window panes are made of plexiglass again, the structure
of frames is made of card and covered with wooden-look foils.

Thank you Anja nad Crackers, I am glad and honoured, you enjoyed the pics of RC. There is still a lot of what I should improve, so the motivation is large and i have to learn. I find a lot of great and awesome masterpieces here and that is a superb inspiration for me. Thanks a lot for this opportunity.
I decided to create some crew members for RC to compare her size and
a scale. I am going to make about 20 figures; will include the king, queen,
princess, captain, officers, sailors...etc. Some of them will be created
according the real people that I know.
King George II. and the Queen Caroline:

I finished the roof for main cabin. The red colour (vermilion) was used also on Clevely´s portrait of RC.
The model will have an illumination from small LED diodes, here you can see the beginning of its fitting (it is not complete yet - stern and mast lanterns are missing) and functionality test....

Finally the staircase was added. For some parts I used wood from walnut or fruit trees. All paper parts were repainted or finished by self-adhesive foils with wooden look.

Hello dear friends,
thank you very much for kind words and praise, I appreciate it a lot and have motivation to work on models and find new ways how to improve my work. I am really honoured to share my hobby with you all.
To Anja: Great to see a lady here, my sincere regards to you. Looking forward to cooperation and sharing.
Let´s continue with Royal Caroline...
Completion of cabins - the bulkheads are from 3-4 layers of solid card with self-adhesive foil finish:

The planking (made of foil stripes) was finally improved by painting (I use Tamiya acrylic paint):
I decided to create treenails (used on English ships). On my model they are painted by 0,3mm wide tip of a micro-pencil. All are painted by Tamiya colours. The pencil tip was every time dipped into thin paint and after that was made one treenail on the hull planking.

The hull before painting of the upper part:

The real RC had blue/turquoise upper part of the hull, so I used the same colour on my model:
Before painting - the base is made of pale foil strips with wooden grain:

The work continues on planking the inside of the hull and interior of cabins, also there were added some parts on the bow and stern:
Lower part of the stern was probably decorated with paintings. On my model the paintings are hand-made using Tamiya colours as usually.....

Later the background was repainted into pale blue colour, this should be more realistic according to the real ship.

I started to make first sculptures and decorations for the front bulkhead of main cabin. They were made of modelling clay as at my previous models.
.....after baking in the oven ( temperature at 150°C):

garyshipwright reacted to Rustyj in Bomb Vessel Granado by Rustyj - FINISHED - 1:24 - cross-section
Nothing spectacular, just plugging along here. Holes drilled for treenails,
holes filled with boxwood treenails, everything sanded down to 400 grit
sandpaper and one coat of wipe on poly applied.
Now I have to make the cap rail and start working on some of the cleats and gun carriages.

Thank you Jacob, when I began my first model ship which was from plastic, I had no tools. I was working on the kitchen table.
On the last 2 pictures, we can see the effect with or without moldings. Building sequences is exactly as for a house: framing, cover the frames with planks, moldings and finishing.

The use of the original drawings are necessary to understand the scluptures composition because there are too many differences with the other provided drawings.
Actually, I am working on the upper moldings and trying to evaluate their composition.

Thanks, Elmer! Hope you had a good Christmas.
As Keith predicted, it starts to get interesting with a few more planks added--

garyshipwright got a reaction from popash42 in HMS Montague 1779 bygaryshipwright - 74-gun Alfred-class
Hi guys and thanks for your kind word's. I finally have a little bit of a up date of Montagu. Work is keeping me very busy these days but did finally get the metal work done on her tiller. Do believe I will have to take the tiller out to get a good picture of it. Also have installed the sweep, gooseneck along with the tackle for the rope for the ships wheel. The plan is to try to install it like Ed did in one piece but being her wheel is two decks up might just not be the easies thing in the world but we will try. Enjoy the photo's folks hopefully I have more time in the future to work on her. Gary
