Wow, if it wasn't written that it was 3D printed, I think it really is a pear with a little patina. Really great finish
-
Very nice details - Edward, Good job. Those barrels are from Chuck 3D printed in black resin?

Hi Rick thank you so much for the compliments. You are right I only used the leather dye on the wales and everything else was well painted with Vallejo Mecha Color - Pure Black 69.042. And also thanks for all the comments and likes guys. Winie is currently waiting for the cover and base and then I will take the final pics.

Hey Frank, good to have you back on board. Good work again, looking forward to the next progress.
-
Thank you guys and I wish you all the best in the new year. Test fitting of the lantern on the model. Compromise solution - I didn't drill the badge on the transom. The square brass rod is just a support The lantern is only hanged on two auxiliary rods. Tomorrow I'll probably order an acrylic cover and just make the base and it's done 🙂

Thanks Chuck, Yeah, I'm glad I chose the cherry version. Although I was a little worried at first about how it would turn out in that size. I had a cherry on the Revenge from a different source, and I didn't like the "tigering" there so much. That's why I used a different source for the Winie and cut the strips slightly different so that the grain wasn't so visible. I'm trying to build a Stern lantern. I tried, but it didn't work as well as I imagined. Hopefully I will finish it and then decide if it will be on the models . I have already made a request to local companies to make me a plexiglass case And I'm already thinking about what to do next...

Hi Ben, the case looks great. Do you have any older acrylic cases on other models? How do they look after all these years? Is there any yellowing? Don't they scratch when you dust them? I like them because at this size the glass is heavier and definitely more expensive I think. Here in Slovakia, or at least in the EU, I haven't found a manufacturer yet...

Thank you guys, I'm one step away from the finish line. Swivel Guns will not be displayed, so the last step is to make a Stern Lantern. And also time to make the stand and find a company that will make me a glass or acrylic case.
-
Wow, a beautiful and unique model Ben. I loved following your diary. Congratulations on the finishing

Welcome aboard Robert, thanks for the compliments and I wish you all a Merry Christmas
-
continued... I finished the fancy roof rail qgallery and I started to place the carvings and fittings for the Qdeck…
-
This looks amazing, Matthias. You are a master carver!
-
Hey guys, Thanks for your kind words and likes. I'm slowly making progress, finishing things I've been putting off. I cleaned up the carvings and since I couldn't get the Old Masters Gel Stain I had to find another solution with Vallejo Wash. I also had to paint the friezes on the binnacle... It didn't turn out as I wanted, but I can live with it. The belfry, belfry rail and other details and the forecastle are almost finished. The breastrail.... is finished and I just have to install the rest of the parts and finish the quarterdeck.
-
Hello I've finished the belfry and some bits and pieces, so I'm slowly starting to fit out the forecastle deck
-
It looks gorgeous.
-
Thanks for the comments and likes guys. I'm already finishing Six Pounders for the Qdeck...

Hey Glenn, I've been following your blog since the beginning, I always enjoyed it when you posted new photos and comments, insights from the build. It was a great motivation for me. Thank you for that. You have built a really beautiful and admirable model. Congratulations and I can't wait to see what you will do next time.

Hey guys, It's been almost a month since my last post. As I get closer and closer to finishing this build, it seems to slow down. But the main thing is that I'm trying to keep going.
-
Hi no staining on the hull and deck, just WOP. I've only stained deadeyes to match the rest.
-
Hey guys I made some progress today...
-
It was definitely one of the more difficult parts of the build. But you did a wonderful job with it, Glenn!
