The friezes and Fancy moldings on both sides together with the Qgallery-roofs are now finished. After printing the friezes, I sprayed the paper 2-3 times with varnish, then cut it out and glued it to the model. Here are some Pictures. Now I look forward to the stern with all the wonderful carvings from Jack. That will be the absolute higlight of my so far modelbuilding. Matthias

Okay thanks for the advice. I will close the Qgallery with tape from the inside, that might help against the dust. I actually just spent more than one hour searching one of the windows wich fell down when I carried the model outside, thats why I spontaniously glued them to the model. I was so happy finding it inside the doormat. Matthias

Today I almost finished the port side Qgallery. These photos are always so mercyless. Now I see the incorrect angles and the bent window glazing. I didn't see that in my workshop under the artificial light. But there is still the starbord Qgallery to do it better. Matthias

Maybe my profile is just scraped too thin at the lower edge. It was a great moment, adding the first of Jack‘s superb figures to the model.
-
I started building the Qgalleries. Chuck, did you somehow double up the upper fancy molding? I had to put a strip underneath it, otherwise the collums would not fit underneath the profile. I also sanded the roof, but that does not fit properly yet.

Chuck, That model is another example with red painted coamings. Wich one is it? The cabin panels of your Winni look great, even upside down !!!

How to explain in a foreign language... Here are two photos. If there are Copyright issues, please delete them. The first show the panels with frames and fillings. The second shows something like plywood with a painted frame.

Hello everybody, I spent some time playing around with photoshop. I wanted to make an attempt to use the stern frieze wich is painted on the Winchelsea model at Greenwitch. What do you think? Here are some pictures.
-
Are these panels just painted, or actually built with frames and fillings?

SLR0346, a frigate from 1805 has got red coamings as well. At least in the waist. The quarter deck coamings are black.

Hi Martin. A phantastic model. What a highlight for each livingroom. I made a display case out of special wood strips you can buy for cases. They fit for 4 mm glass. I painted them black. But you can also give them some varnish. Then just buy the 5 peaces of glass and stick it together with some transparent silicone. Leave the top and maybe the front glass without silicone, so you can open it, if necessary. It worked well. Here is a photo of the display case. Matthias

Maybe the coamings on the quarter deck were painted black to give them a better protection, because they were more exposed to the weather. This might have not been necessary in the waist.

This is the profile I tried to come close to. I made the scraper out of an old saw blade. I used dremel and files to form it. then scraping the boxwood strip. With not much force. and then bending and gluing it in position I find bending this profile really difficult. It is so small, but very resiliant when you want to bend it. Matthias
-
I made an attempt to make the moldings. Havent done that before. How do you guys do that? Matthias
-
Hi Mike, the moldings look brilliant. Would you mind showing us your scraper and how you made it? Thanks Matthias

I made some Progress with the quarter gallery. Matthias
-
I made some corrections. First I managed to carefully cut loose the stern frame from the planks and filler peaces. Then I reduced the length of the planks a tiny little bit, in order to get the stern frame a bit more upright. Next, I removed the bottom peace of the qgallery. After checking with the Papier template I glued it in position again. Matthias
-
Chuck, I certainly will. And thank you for your patience. You are amazing, spending so much time getting my model right. Matthias
-
Here we go.
-
So here we go. Some more images.
-
Hmmmmmm.... I propably forced the stern frames too much back, when I glued the filler pieces between the last bulkhead and the stern frame. This can not be corrected any more. Maybe I must make new quarter gallery windows with a tiny little bit more distortion. Otherwise the forward ending of the quarter gallery will lift too much up. The angle must be parallel to the planking. Is that right?
-
I am not shure. Is this the way?
