USS Bagley (DD-386) by catopower - 1/200 - Avangard - CARD
-
I really enjoy your builds. They are phenomenal, and I greatly look forward to seeing more of them. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
-
Does it work better than Mont Marte, which is what I use?
-
The Avangard is looking good! How does the Aleene’s Tacky Glue work on card models? I have never tried it.

She’s got guns: Here are the lids under way: The undersides of them are red, and I’m still working on the iron work. The outside portions need painted to match their surroundings and they still need eyebolts, which I made another 100 of yesterday. The gunport lids for this thing are not uniform due to 16th Century engineering, and dedicated gun-decks just becoming a thing. Therefore, you must keep track of each individual piece. I laid mine out like the instruction book, which came with the plans, had them.

Steve, Very cool!
-
The head is done: It ain’t perfect, but it’ll work! This model was originally intended as a test run just to see what I could do. One of the benefits of building from card is a low entry cost, and therefore low risk if something doesn’t pan out exactly how you want it to. I have learned a lot and developed many skills and techniques to use for the next build.

@Coyote_6, Thank you very much! Merry Christmas!

@catopower, Thank you very much! Thank you to everyone for the likes and for stopping by! The head is installed! And the seats of ease are made and drying: I’m going to put them up against the head bulwarks, where they are located on the Batavia, after they get painted. Next up, I am making the gunport lids and installing the below decks cannons.

Congratulations! Very nicely done!

@ccoyle, @Glen McGuire, @Baker, @72Nova and @Canute, Thank you all very much! Ken, Lol, I did catch the card modeling gene! It is @Ab Hoving and Chris’s fault! Ab Hoving’s card modeling from scratch tutorial on this forum was very informative and useful, and showed me that it was doable. That got me started with the Prince de Neufchatel. Then Chris sent me a link for HMV kits on Amazon which led to me finding all of the Orel kits, of which I have built two of them. They set me down a path that has led to 7 completed models so far.
