Omega1234 got a reaction from canoe21 in Symphony by Omega1234 - FINISHED - 1/200 scale - 112' Ketch
Hi everyone!
Tonight I added the gold cove-stripe along the sheer line of the hull and a black line above the waterline. At the stern, I also added the gold pin-striping and also a small, but, simple motif to add that 'final' decorative touch to the transom.
I hope you enjoy the photos!
Cheers

As you know there are three things at which you can watch endlessly - fire, water and well made model ships! ))

The next stage - making of handrails
I could not to glue the stanchions from the wire of 0.15 mm to the handrails, so again I made them out of wood.
First, I make handrails for one side of the hull

Hi Kevin
Any sailing activity over a weekend sounds like a great way to spend your time! Sounds like you and your wife had a ball of a time.

Omega1234 reacted to Landrotten Highlander in Surabaya by Piet - 1/80 - Mid 17th-Century VOC ship
Hi Piet,
regarding blackining your hooks, see this topic
http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/1240-another-type-of-blackening-agent-and-some-experiments/?hl=%2Bblackening+%2Bbrass+%2Bglass
In this method glass-staining is used to blacken soldered brass wire already attached to blocks (the whole thing is submerged in the blackening agent). Only the metal is blackened, the block remains unchanged.
Perhaps an option?

Omega1234 reacted to *Hans* in Surabaya by Piet - 1/80 - Mid 17th-Century VOC ship
Piet,
About blackening the brass - just give it a try! I use some blue fluid (which I call Eau de Cologne) to blacken the brass, but it does exactly the same on copper and on soldering tin as well. The fluid is normally used to blacken tin on tiffany lamps (I once made some of them) and is (I guess) about the same chemical bad stuff as any other blackening fluid.

Hi everyone!
Another my mini project here ))
Some time ago my friends gave me the empty perfume flacon with the quite the unusual shape.
The shape of the bottle did not leave much choice for the type of ship, the model which could be placed inside. So this will be a model of the yacht J-class. This model does not have a specific prototype and it is a kind of generalized image of these beautiful yachts.
As usual, I am starting with making of the hull

Hi BDGiantman, Mark, Kevin, Michael and David
Many thanks for your comments and compliments! Greatly appreciated.
Thanks, also to BDGiantman for the idea about the tender. My original intention was to show the tender being towed behind Symphony, which is pretty much on par with your suggestion. Great minds think alike!
Thanks everyone and all the best
Patrick
