If I had a ship that beautiful I would never let it leave the harbor. Imagine what one cannon ball could do to those delicate structures!

dvm27 got a reaction from Beef Wellington in HMS Jason by Beef Wellington - Caldercraft - 1:64 - Artois-class frigate modified from HMS Diana 1794
Very nice work Jason. I like the spirketting and coaming colors, I find that automotive black spray primer followed by sprayed black does a nice job of simulating iron. The key is to apply several light coats so no detail is obscured.

Wow! Locking tabled joints: I've not seen that done on a model before. Bravissimo, Matiz!

Now you know why it's called the finishing. I bet you are glad to be finished with it! Well done.

just a shot with billowy sails......more finishing to do before launching......by the way, i think what got me started with the romance of sailing ships, may have be some capt. blood movies when i was a kid......i seem to remember a rear shot of a ship sailing slowly away in the evening with lights on, and some beautiful serene music in the background...this image stuck with me all my life for some reason......

We all make mistakes and have to make pieces over again. The challenge of "How do I do this?" is what keeps things interesting. You are doing a terrific job, whether you think it or not!

Hello,
today a short update.
I hope the pictures speak for themselves.

dvm27 reacted to Gaetan Bordeleau in 74-gun ship by Gaetan Bordeleau - 1:24
Here is a part of the set up;
Each model is set with his own light
Neon lights are then turned off
The $20 led light from Ikea is still used plenty for light adjustment

Hello, I put the model on a temporary basis to take it to a show with friends.

dvm27 got a reaction from druxey in Pegasus 1776 by Chuck - 1:48 - Swan-class sloop cross-section
The cast frames look terrific, Chuck!
Those wishing to add treenails to their cross section may find it easier to do before the frames are raised.

Part 284 – Last Post on Ratlines
While there is still some further ratline work ahead, that will await further mast erection. For now, I have reached a stopping point after a few weeks work on this. Other work has been progressing and I will describe that in later posts. For now, I will just show the present status of the ratlines – and the overall model. The first picture shows the ratlines completed to this stage.
Some minor replacement/rework is still needed – revealed in part on some of these pictures, but what is shown here is essentially finished. The next picture shows work below the foretop that I should have done much earlier to avoid having to tie ratlines in the congested rigging shown.
The next picture shows the same work around the main top – much easier.
The topmast ratlines extend across the topmast backstays under the crosstrees as shown in the next picture.
The futtock ratlines here will be installed later. Finally, another view from above.
The way is now open to work on the main topsail yards and other things.
