But for the next model you do, Thukydides! It's amazing the problems one can avoid on a subsequent model. But there are new pitfalls and traps instead.... -
True, but I never see folk refer to it that way!
-
It's always a problem when one tiny thing sets off a line of dominos.... One realises how interdependent so many things were on a ship. I'm sure you'll arrive at a suitable solution. Bowsprit mast? Did you mean bowsprit?

Looking good, Alan!

Clutch pencil and a hard lead - I use 4H - give happiness!

Good on you to do the re-do! To tone down any color, just mix the tiniest bit of its complimentary color in. (The appropriate complimentary is found on the opposite side of the color wheel from the color you are trying to tame.)

Nice progress, JD. Good to see you back at it! Cheers, D
-
Impeccable work!

True. The photo I posted is of a model two centuries later! However, the principle is the same, is it not?

HMS ANSON 1781 by albert - 1/48 - 64 guns

Superb work, as always! -
Nice! Glad that you are recovering now and can play again. From where did you get those 1/48 figures?
-
Nice gifts, Alan! Does the amplifier work well?
-
Well and neatly done! It's not a race, so do take your time with the project and enjoy the process.
-
Well, that will eat into your modeling time, but hopefully not your model! Enjoy your new friend.

Nice work and detailing of the deadeyes in particular - a detail seldom seen even in larger scale models. However, the item across the shrouds is called a futtock stave and should be trimmed just outside the shrouds. A buttock is entirely different!
-
Actually, a stand-off of the channel from the side to prevent rot was usual on wooden ships. It's just that models usually don't show this feature!
-
To prevent the holes clogging when matte spraying, try threading the blocks on wires first.
-
Having seen prototypes, I can confirm the amazing quality of the smallest sizes.
-
Impressive at that scale!
-
Sometimes one just has to go with the logical run of lines.
-
Simply completing your first model is an accomplishment in itself. Well done! You are moving up the learning curve.

Only the early carronades in the 1780's were 'outside principle' mounted. By the 1790's they pivoted inside the ports and muzzle extensions added to direct muzzle flash away from rigging.

Now that is a prop of beauty! Nicely accomplished, Keith.
