Beef Wellington got a reaction from mtaylor in HMS Diana By Barbossa - Caldercraft - Scale 1:64 - The 1794 Attempt
Great pictures, especially like the close up view of the stern. I was going to use exactly the same approach for the chain so nice to see it work so well. Now I've "been there and nearly done that" I can appreciate your craftsmanship even more BTW, I think you are referring to the binnacle (?)

Catching up Jim, everything looks really good especially the rigging. Which manufacturer made the anchor kit from? - it looks well formed and very clean.
Just noticed you're in Edinburgh, I used to live in a tiny flat on St Stephen St in Stockbridge many years ago.

Beef Wellington got a reaction from John Allen in Ship paintings
Jim, you have some real talent, I'm not an art critic either to explain why, but your colour balance, cloud and water effects which are notoriously difficult to do well are to my taste, and work especially well in watercolour medium - oh, and the ships look good too!. Would love to see more.

Thank you Mark, thing is, galleries are not that keen to exhibit my type of paintings. You really have to have an interest in the sea and ships. This one for example isn't every ones cup of Tea. I called it 'Keeping The Few Flying' featuring HMCS CHILLIWACK.

Excellent work on the paintings. Not just the subject matter but the atmosphere really gives a sense of being there.

Beef Wellington reacted to Mark P in Ship paintings
Hi Jim;
If I was at an exhibition of local artists' work, and saw your paintings, I would have to buy at least one to take home with me, and preferably more. The only limit would be budget!
Lovely atmosphere in your work.
Keep on picking up that brush!
All the best,
Mark P

Thank you both for commenting, I probably have about a thousand, good bad and what ever.
here you are Nick. Recognise this place?. Reserve Fleet and redundend, waiting for scraping ships. At the back of Portsmouth Harbour. HMS Vanguard running aground at the 'Still and West' while being taken away for scrap.

Hi Jim,
it is quit clear to me that you have mastered the skills required to create beautiful paintings.
I enjoy the individual atmospheres you create, dispite the fact that your subjects are restricted to a single topic. On a more technical note, the last two paintings have enabled me to understand and/or appreciate the tips I once received about using the structure of your canvas to help you with your story (looking at the waves and the way you suggest foam).
Thank you for showing us / letting us enjoy your talent (even if it is silently for the most part).

Wonderful work Jim, I could look at these for hours.
Especially nice seeing settings I know.
You should be congratulated on not just the quality but also the quantity by the sounds of it.

Made the deadeye plates from .012 black rigging line like the instructions show. Wasn't sure about this at first but after trying a few it looks fine. Form an eye, seize above it and add glue. After painting (I used gun metal gray/black) and you cant tell the are made from rigging. Pull the 2 loose ends through the holes in the top to tie around the deadeyes on the other side. The instructions said to tie an overhand knot, glue and snip off but I tied an overhand knot, looped back around bottom of deadeye then tied another overhand knot around the bottom of the deadeye for extra security when rigging will be pulling on them.
