I've got one . I also saw that some Shipyard kit are available in pdf files. I downloaded such a file myself for HMS CLEOPTRA.

Witam, Pitr!

 

You are doing such a lovely job with this model. I realize you are modifying the basic kit, but it still makes me want to give one of the Shipyard models a try someday.

 

Cheers!

 

Robisz cudowną robotę z tym modelem. Zdaję sobie sprawę, że modyfikujesz podstawowy zestaw, ale mimo to mam ochotę kiedyś wypróbować jeden z modeli Shipyard.

 

Thank you for the kind words. I have been thinking about buying this model for a long time. This set is not the cheapest, but I do not regret the money spent. It's a really great set and gives you a lot of opportunities to make a good model. The only thing I would improve is the instruction manual. In particular, there is no description of the location of individual elements on the boards with parts. A table with columns with consecutive part numbers and the corresponding board number would be useful. You have to be careful because the same-looking parts with the same number, and differing only in the letter will be found on different boards. The thickness of these pages varies and gluing parts from one card may result in a mismatch. Better instruction would definitely be useful. Greetings Piotr

Making a capstan on a quarter deck. The base is made of walnut wood. Capstan construction made of paper. After gluing, I dipped the paper in epoxy glue. After this treatment, the thick paper stops delaminating and can be sanded.

Step by step, the work is moving forward. It's just a fitting, because first I have to make gun carriages on the upper deck.

A Little more progress. 

One more time.

I have started work on the bowsprit. I use the book "Anatomy of the ship - Pandora". Below I am presenting the drawings from the book and photos from the work started. rolled the bowsprit on a lathe and I come to the conclusion that the linden wood is too soft for the construction of masts and ropes.

Pitr, the links to your photos appear to be broken.

Excuse me. There is actually something wrong. I will post the post again.

More progress or wine ??

Making of anchor lines, messenger line, balusters and gun deck is finally done.

Just beautiful !

How to make lanterns and rollers for the messenger line ??

I made something like that. However, I think that for the 1:72 scale it is a bad idea.

After ten months of break, I returned to the workshop. I bought the bow ornaments from Shapeways, painted and glued. It is true that they are intended for HMS Victory in the 1:96 scale, but they fit just right. Also in "Shapeways" I bought a Victory chimney in 1:90 scale. The chimney of the stove has been redesigned a bit by me. I made a chimney cover from a brass plate and thin copper wire. I painted the chimney and blackened the cover, then made the chimney cast on the deck. You have to be very careful with elements made on a 3-D printer, because they are very fragile and when drilling the holes, they can chip off. For those interested, see "Shapeways" below: https://www.shapeways.com/product/GBFKYUHYE/1-96-hms-victory-stern-ornaments?etId=200594660&utm_source=automated-contact&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=payment-received&utm_content=5&option=66559410

Capstan modification.  Original look.

And new look.

Hi everyone. I would like to present to everyone my attempt to build a sailing ship from the Shipyard set. This is a 1779 model of the HMS Mercury frigate. HMS Mercury was an Enterprize-class frigate. The model is made of paper and is modified by me using wood and metal.
