Hi Patrick
You've build a really nice ship, one to be proud of.
The added work really shows on the model.

All big thanks from a beginner! The first attempt to use a gas burner was successful! ( in my opinion).

WBlakeny reacted to Michiel in Prins Willem 1650 by Michiel - 1:50 - POB Zeeland ship from own plans
During the vacation I did some carving on the figurehead...
The tail of the lion curls through the next piece.
This is the first version I made long ago, when I still though one should use soft wood for carving
Best,
Michiel

Finally, about a year after our move I managed to get the workshop back in place

and one, with buildin power outlets for working on parts
At the moment I'm working on the bow, the first few pieces:

WBlakeny reacted to FifeModels in Sovereign of the Seas by Dominic - Deagostini - Approximate Scale 1:84 - 12 Month partwork
Hello.
Just a very quick update before I move to the back bench for a few months.
I just tested out my mounting bolts on a test base. (A spare section of floating shelf I had laying around) Seems to be a very solid and stable mount.
I will be leaving this now for a few months to stock up on parts, in the mean time, I will be starting a new project to tide me over: AL's Bluenose II.
Thanks for looking in.

WBlakeny got a reaction from ccoyle in Corsair by WBlakeny - FINISHED - 1:32 - SMALL - Bermuda boat - First scratch build
I progressed on the cabin.
I made the hatches. They were used to store the cooking gear and other stuff.
First i had to make some dummy beams to provide some support for the hatches. I made those from some scrap plywood on which i matched the curve of the cabin walls.
I glued them in place and let them dry overnight.
After marking the middle of the cabin with the laser i placed some cherry planks.
Then i filled the open spaces with the maple planks. I had to to taper 5 planks on each side in order to fill it up nicely.
Then using a scraper, and sanding with different grits, I obtained a smooth result.

WBlakeny reacted to archjofo in La Créole 1827 by archjofo - Scale 1/48 - French corvette
Thanks for the kind words and positive comments, and also for the LIKES.
The next equipment parts of the French corvette is a cover for spare masts and spare spars. The weatherproof cover is a canvas, which was painted with tar. This canvas is mounted on fork-shaped iron and been completed front and back by a board.
The following pictures speak for themselves and I hope you like them.
