Impressive work Valery, I have a question for you; you will cover the brass parts mounted on the model with something so as not to oxidize?

Good evening to everyone after a long time, Ruby & Arthur Reed's epic does not end here, I recently attended the world shipmodels  championship of class C  in Galati 1-9 September   Romania where this model was judged by an international judging committee with a score of 87.66 for class C2. This contest took place 20 kilometers from my home. Some pictures on the jury table below.
All the best and a nice evening still.

Adrian.

Good evening for everyone, because next week I will go to the national championship class C in Constanta, Romania, I made for my ship a protection case. It will not be my only ship in the contest, I'll see how they will fit in the car.
All the best I wish for you and a beautiful evening still I wish you.

Hello to everybody, work continues with the construction of half starboard. Because this yard has been trimmed and I have not built it whole. It is on this half that they build from the styrene strand of the ship.
All the best you want.

Adrian,

Good evening for everyone, come back after two months of work.
Because I'm building a part of the ship's bottom I started building the halfboard on the starboard.
A nice evening .

Adrian.

On these flat strips I will place the ribs of the ship.
All the best .

Adrian,

Good evening for everyone, work goes on with the first elements on the ship's bosom. They followed the ribs, stringers, the central hook.
I'll start making the second half of the starboard to work the ship's bottom.
A beautiful evening still.

That's a bigger model than I thought you were building. I just walked past her sister HMCS Sackville about 30 minutes ago. She's tied up in our dockyard at her winter berth.

I know this museum ship on the web, I will use the site images for my construction. I'm a little jealous of you having such a treasure near your home.
All good and a beautiful evening.

I certainly hope everyone has read the novel The Cruel Sea, which features the life of a Flower Class corvette in the North Atlantic in WWII. There’s a pretty good film version of the novel too.

Yes, I have read this book for a long time through gymnasium and I was impressed, I recently found the film and it will be a source of inspiration to me.
All the best .

Adrian

Good evening for everyone, work continues with the first elements of the ship's ribs. These tracks will catch the ribbons themselves. Everything made of the same styrene.
A nice evening .

Adrian,

Good evening for everyone, I completed the first operation on this model, the plating. Follow the weight, mounting 107 ribs.
A beautiful evening still I wish you.

Adrian

Yes, shipmodel, amateur you understand well I will build in the interior with the shell of styrene fillets and add ribs, stringers, keel and all the ship's bosom.
As I said before, this way of building is a premiere, if I succeed will be a great success, if I can not succeed it will be a big failure.
For the ship's cornice I will use 0.25 mm styrene corresponding to 1/48 scale.

A beautiful evening still.

Adrian,

Good evening for everyone, work continues with the making of sheet metal patterns
. I counted 109 pieces of work. Work hard and roughly piece by piece.
A beautiful evening I still want you.

Adrian,

Good evening for everyone, work goes further with finishing the ship's body and drawing the ribs on the body. I'm going to trace the sheets of each sheet of paper after the plane of the sheets.
A beautiful evening still.

Adrian,

Good evening again, my time is limited, I accelerated and finished loading the ship inside. For finishing I will use a little bit of polyester putty.
So much for today, a beautiful evening to have.

Very interesting procedure Adrian,

 

never seen the planking of a negative hull-side on this forum before    

You seem to know exactly what you`re doing there....., looks well thought through

Good evening, and for me as a navy model is a premiere this way of work but some time ago I saw in a small shipyard this working method in which pieces of the ship were made on a negative. Now the shipyards are working on designing and cutting materials by computer and the old methods of work have become ineffective.
All the best ,

Adrian,

Good evening for everyone, the work continues with the filing of the navy on the negative.

A wonderful evening .

Adrian,

Good evening for everyone, I started working with the edging of the ribs in the negative and placing them on the support, I'm going to apply a layer of sticks.
A nice evening .

Adrian,

Good evening to everyone, because today was the national day of Romania and it was a free day we devoted to the study of construction plans. On this occasion, I chose the plans that I use for construction, as extracted from the book now I will scale from 1/192 to 1/48 with a zoom of 400%, and those at 1/96 at 1/48 with zoom of 200%.
I intend to make up half of the ship's body on the port side in the negative, then in that negative I will first apply the ship's shell, then the ribs and the skeleton of the ship on the inside. I will work a lot with styrene in which I will reproduce rivets, reinforcements and many others about 98% of the ship's construction.
So much for today, a beautiful evening I still want.

Adrian,

I'm another fan of the Flower Class Corvette, Adrian, and looking forward to your new project.

Were you inspired by the magnificent cut away model made by Barry Sharman? I was lucky enough to see his outstanding work at a model show back in 2012, be good to see how your build progresses.

 

Regards,

 

B.E.

Hi, now I saw Mr. Barry Sharman's work, what I can say is he worked after a 1/72 scale revell kit and I will build this ship from scratch in which the starboard board will be free only with a part of the ship's bottom . Below I put a work of colleague Dan with this ship at 1/350 which won 94 points and the silver medal at the European championship Kavarna 2017.
All the best .

Adrian,

Thanks to everyone for the encouragement will be a difficult and unusual construction, for this construction I will also use the cartoon magazine Modelik and another book about corvettes written by Jhon Lamber and Les Brown. I build this ship at 1/48 scale because many of the drawings in Anatomy are at this scale.
So for today, a beautiful evening still.

Adrian,

Good evening to everyone, as I promised I will begin a new ship used in the Second World War to escort the overseas convoy sin from the united kingdom of Murmansk in Russia, this ship is called Aggasiz a flower  corvette.
I'm inspired by the plans in the anatomy of ship  the book, a book I bought from the Amazon and which is renowned for the accuracy of the plans presented. But the main challenge is to build this structural model, with everything inside and outside the ship, this type of construction is according to the Naviga rules in the C4D class.It will be a long construction with a lot of work with many hundreds of details, the most ambitious project that I start and I hope to take it to the end. About the beginning, let's get to work.

All the best and a beautiful evening you still want

Adrian,

Thank you all for the beautiful words, I will take samples on the water when the weather outside allows it. I will not work a new R.N.L.I. but also a ship known to you intensely used in the Second World War.
All the best and a beautiful evening I wish you.

Adrian,

Good evening to everyone, as you know we started this model for a long time and it's time to wait to say that it's over now. This model falls under the Naviga  rulles Class C2 and F2A class, the next year I will go to the national competition.
Soon I will start a new construction with a higher level of work and competence.
All the best ,

Adrian,

Good morning to everyone, work continues with the production of the last pieces of this model, namely the railings. These are the toughest balustrades I made to a model, but I hope to finish the work successfully. It will be followed by the painting of the assembled screws.
All the best .

Adrian
