74-gun ship by Gaetan Bordeleau - 1:24

druxey, I know I could straighten a line in e.g. Adobe Photoshop, but it would diminish the quality of the image, and reate other - maybe not immediately apperent - distortions. I am not pro image manipulation, in fact I am against it, but that is personal as is the reason behind that. To get the best image as a source, i.e. before any manipulation, will make the end result better too, That is quite simple to say, but to accomplish ... another story. That's why I like Gaetan's build log, both model wise, as photographic wise, he delivers a wealth of information, and throws up questions I wouldn't think of otherwise -

Gaetan, The deformation a the front of the ship in the picture, it will always occur, but will it with every lens? What about a "tilt & shift" lens. It does happen in reality too, e.g. when you paint something on the floor and stand off far enough it will get shorter, our eyes' optical illusion -

OC, instead of adding light streaks to the anchor, have you thought about dark ones ... now the metal looks like wood ...

Well dispite your poor camera, crappy lighting, and terrible background, you've got a great model. Well done. I will certainly follow your endeavours on your next build

Marvelous build, RGL, another star in your collection. Again improvement on your paint, and weathering techniques. Less invading, and even more realistic, if that was at all possible. Add some B&W photographs ... I would like to see what she looks like compared tp the real "thing"

I understand, it was just an observation

Beautiful details, Phil. Very ingenious way of making the sheaves. Instead of a triangular file you could have used a round one, as sheaves tend to be hollow shaped. Still very crisp work

Steve, In general I could say that you would best take the top off before turning her over and let the flow go. However, with regards to the upper decks when sailing, you do not really need them, since the helmsman is onshore - there is a Dutch proverb which accentuates the prowes of those onshore fanatics: The best helmsmen are onshore (figures with RC) You could make it a safety porthole .. a few more bars and you've got "a view from the brig" ...
