  1. Folks, i was working literally 8 hours on glory poop house today. i cant stress how many hours modelmakong take.... i made only windows and started roof which is really peculiar but in my opinion utmost beautiful thing on houses aesthetics. I dont have many pics but did some trials and wuite like the outcome. im about to make carriagehouse knees fro that i look forward enormously. i wish i had some 1:72 figurines to put around when taking pics to get things a bit lifelike though.... I got some white sryren panels fro houses that i am over the moon at... i still maek rest from leftovers from previous projects...which i enjoy twice.... here is soemthing to comment on...i like most on modeling is the rpocess...i barely know what outcome will be when trIng something ..i opted for simple design of side windows of carriage houses. what do sou think? thanks, V.
  2. Thank you for compliments my friends. Rich this painting is very beautiful indeed. i noticed vertical bowsprit cap ! im going to revision my stern to point im about to change balustrades to truer side and leave those varnished.
  3. Thanks Rob. little rest these days, before i get back to her. noticed fantastic skylight detail photo. good luck.V.
  4. Thanks Rob, appreciated comments, i think i know what you mean i Will try to align that Curve if i am able to. I see now its quite not perfectly rounded as bottom on various places Its zig zaggy bit .. To be frank, im so done with It sometimes when i try to better things i Will utterly destroy them so...i .pillars or not. I suppose i ran out of Wood thats why last paneling IS not even color wide I think its recessed with antique pillars ornamental at the very top. Its kind of visible on new photos from Mike. I Will add how face would look like in the Boat itself...not glued yet.... i attached Dark Wood platform and front faced steps at the poop corners... almost gilded step that IS very Massive - so clearly visible on cannery restoration photo in the left...of course stairs would cover that....rounding that piece of wallnut was tough...
  5. Thank you Rich. i already started base for main deck cabin as well :)) but it will take quite a time to finish poop cabin...quite a race i prefer to conplete all cabins first and making all roofs after so its one type of work in a batch looking fwd to see the sketches indeed. V.
  6. After long journey Carriagehouse face IS completed and varnished. Its still long way to finish house in entirety.. Inner Windows Will be added later as IT serves oné unwanted purpose yet. Collecting dust. Thanks for viewing etc...All appreciated. V. I took various saturated and desaturated pics of IT.
  7. Stunning Rob, beautiful. in that scale, wow. from windows to the roof. im looking fwd for main deck cabin. V.
  8. Thanks much Rob. Personally myself, i would see no point doing this painful slog. . i would paint it for the most part to mimic ooutlines thats it. as you say, in overall rigging perspective, its different visual approach. to go for. I do it with aim of no masting at all... to get those cabins as highlight... and i am surprised i learnt so much sicne 1:24 cutty. i struggled back then and did slopps work on such huge scale, im amazed shat is possible with 1:72 on clipper - though i work with boxwood leftovers from winnie now which i part of the reason. asking for opinion. should i paint it? i would like to leave soemrhing wooden on the boat and this seems to me quite valuabl assertion.... ive been thinkg lately.... i kind of regret i did paint all interior deck bulwarks not leaving a piece wooden....as it is primaroly wooden boat... than i ddi regret a bit that i painted hull fully in blac knot left a piece of wood natural than i did regret for a minute that i cant leave even bottom wooden as it is not worked out such neatly it is supposed t obe coppered so im getting elft of space for wood....on the other side...if once i opted for paint - that paerly white cabin could look proper nice - even rails are painted...oh i can make another rail with natural wood at least.... its hard with me :)) well at least deck planking will be wooden...hooray
  9. Thanks a lot for vlauable comment Rich. I Will adresa those indeed. Mli Dunno maybe try click follow and it will púť you notifications...:) V.
  10. Thanks Rich, i had your view as well till one more observation to stir the topic.... that we might not be certain yet . Its actually oppsite on Flying fish. ! for first hatch. longer is bow to stern. this might be cargo loading thing but i measured Michaels drawing in across hull picture, agowing across section and it looks like upper is 12 and lower 14. not 10 - 14. it would be wider i think.
  11. nice work on crriagehouse Rob, it is positioned slightly outward moved from poop deck forward right? i have a question folks. doyou how is first hatch positioned? Michaels book says 10 x12 ft and below deck 12x14 - from drawing it looks to me that longer side should be faced athwardship and shorter in bow stern axis positioned, is thar correct? thank you V.
  12. Great stuff Rich. i will have hands full during rainy autumn days...:) what a beautiful knee ornament...
  13. Ornamentation IS now completed with nameboard. I Wish you could see it in person as 2d photo cannot grasp 3d reality of ship itself with those tiny details. Name itself IS so tiny in reality i tried to maintain size and position of letters. Ať this point i must say even i used printed template underneath im happier with hand drawing over IT far more than any laser cut could provide- there IS machine perfection in machines but i prefer Human effort ať least mediocre. Its like in every aspect of even real houses whatever builders - mass produced perfect shapes are standard set to the point being charmless - no one Will ever asking who Made this or that? I notice similar approach or trend in modelmaking AS Well , where machine perfection IS praised atop. Personally i refrain lately from this approach, IT ls nothing easier than drawing ship or ornamental something in Vector program and give command to laser machine - - i Can say that confidently. Its very difficult hand model something as old chaps did in bygone éra masterfully... With template underneath Its truer to original approach as well this IS as close AS possible to original pattern even in this still small scale for clipper. some of those draperies are hair thin. ! This IS probably my finest modeler effort by far. Im satisfied with this . Thanks for viewing etc. V.
  14. thank you Apreciated Rob. you know it. exactly my thoughts. looks easy but it was pretty difficult as there is everything twisted in angles or around axis...
