Hello I've been here for a long time did not appear. I decided to show you one of my work. This figure of an angel on the French Le Ambitieux. I love the model of this ship, which makes an Italian master. It was in his review and saw this figure of the angel. It wanted to try to do it yourself. And that's what happened. I did it for fun, it's not an order.







 
 
This photos from the competition, they were held in May in St. Petersburg. I went there to participate with their works.

As promised a sequel to the last few threads. This openwork inset





 
Here was the difficulty. Part thickness only 2.8 mm, and the thread must be on both sides. Therefore, in areas of thinning turned very small thickness. And item several times I broke during operation.   I had to find a way out of the problem. Did so: the item consists of two halves. They became even thinner, but now they can be glued drops of glue on the bar and do as a bas-relief carving. And then glue it all together. Easy! Maybe someone is handy.  

Hello, Gaetan.
If memory does not fail, it seems in the first volume Budrio describes limber holl. There should also be a scheme with axonometry.

 
It shows how far these cuts should go. In the drawings in the top view it is difficult to disassemble, especially in the areas of the stems, where the desired line merges with the keel due to the bends of the frames and it is not clear how the limber holes should go. 

 
 
This is a very interesting system.

Especially when compared as a function of drainage was performed in different countries. 
The Dutch were very original. Here it is visible. 

They did not do the cuts, but made additional beams, which allowed the cladding to be fastened so that a slit was deposited to drain the water to the pumps.
If you read historical works, you can find very interesting stories about this system. During the Anglo-Dutch War, the British were greatly surprised that the captured Dutch ships had virtually no critical wood decay. This said that the  system drainage very good at its task.
Over time, the English have slightly modified the location of the limber canal. They began to make it close to the keel. This was justified, since the keel had the lowest point in the hold. Try to search in the works of Seppings, he describes this innovation. It's all a little lyrical digression.
During the construction of the seventy cannon ships, they had not yet guessed.
And again: you are not doing the right  a Recess. The channel must go perpendicular to the outer edge of the frame. Take a closer look, it's clearly visible on your own drawing. At you the propyl is made not absolutely truly. I tried to show this in your photo.
 

When I studied this element, I came to the conclusion that it is more convenient to do it a little later, when all the frames will be in place. Then, with the help of a thread, it will be possible to accurately mark the whole gagging immediately. And just saw through all the timbers at once. If done separately as you do now, you will not get a smooth line in the collection.

That's all!
I tried to talk about my tricks and technologies.
As I said before, I do not have any special and secret techniques. I do not look like a wizard, all my tricks are ordinary and many people know them. I just take the workpiece, the tool and try to get the image I need, which hides inside the workpiece. In the end, I will show a few more photos, there is no point in commenting on them, everything is clear.
 


If suddenly my story about one of my works will help the others, then I will be very happy. If I wrote something incomprehensible and the meaning ran off during the translation, or I did not tell you about a particular reception, then ask your questions. I will try to answer them. All the warmest greetings!

Hello everybody.
For a long time I could not show anything new. Unfortunately. Now in my life there are big changes and I had to change my place of residence with my family. So far, new circumstances and conditions are very unusual and very different from what I'm used to. Now I do not have the opportunity to go online regularly. Therefore, I immediately want to apologize that I can not respond quickly to comments. Do not be offended, I do not ignore your comments, and I will definitely answer as soon as a good opportunity appears.
Over the years, I was busy with another project. I really liked it, I enjoyed working with this order. But now I will not show what I got after the finish. I will show a small fragment. Maybe someone can find out or guess what kind of figure it is. The only clue from me - this ship knows everything!
Sincerely, Alexander

Good afternoon, everybody. 
I finished another small order. This is the most difficult job, that I had. But very interesting. I very much enjoyed the thread. 
This figure rooster for the French frigate «Le Francois». 
That's how this figure looks in the drawings. 

And here is what I got







 

Hi Janos .
The tool I have the most common . I use like this . The smallest self-made cutters . They resharpen of sewing needles . They became good shape and very fit. They are very easy to alter.


Electric carving tool when not use.  I tried it with carving figurines lady for " Druid ". Even good at. But it is very dangerous. You can spoil , so then they stopped working. I do not know how to properly called in English , in Russian it is called BOR . like this will be clearer :

They tried. Now sometimes use them too , but manually. Here it is:

The smallest veins and lines are very easy to do .
 
Leo does not polished . There's only work with knives and chisels . And the first job with the " Druid " polished , but not paper, and this . This conventional sawing and bafiki polish. They loved me . There are solid , there are soft . My wife works in a nail service . Once asked her to try and loved it. Use them not only in the thread , but also in other work with the model.

 
Thanks for the tip about the oil. I'll try. I do not have much experience. Tung bought , tried on different wood species . Loved it. Therefore, they use them.




If you lived closer I would share with you a sample .
 It is very good that you can choose a lot of good oil.

Last time show a finished action figure





 
 

Came the turn of the hind paws

Now crown





cut small parts separately



and the last item




well that's all. in the end I want to open another one of my secret. Photographing process work is also very useful. Often you can see that just not visible. Pictures help to see their mistakes. When working, don't remember how it looked figurine of a week ago. And if you suddenly have to start all over again (this happens), then you can better understand where to make changes and do not make a mistake опять.У photos have another benefit. When it was all over and the thread goes to the customer on the memory remains of those pictures.
 
 

Now is the time to work on a shield with lilies . First I 'll show pictures, and then open another little secret.   So the lion looked at the beginning of work on the shield So after So in fact what happened in the end is not quite what is photographed at the beginning . The shield with lilies actually different. Note that in the first picture , this part is not as convex  as in the end. I did not succeed. I was frustrated. I cut below and try again. Again bad. So shield became quite flat and on it was impossible to fix. What to do? Redo it all over again? This is so offensively . I decided to try to fix everything. But first, another blank tree I began to cut again inside with lilies. I liked it, now you need to carefully move it to the figure.    That's why I made the first shot. And the line is not there by accident and not for beauty. With her help I was able to print this part of the correct scale on cardboard. Then tried to cut the exact shape, and what was inside the wreath. It was laborious, it was necessary to try a lot. Several times had to start anew. And finally, everything worked, I cut out cardboard replica of what I wanted.    I now had a pattern. I have attached it to a new piece with lilies and transferred all nyuansy.Ostalos all neatly cut and paste the new piece into place. So the whole figure was saved.   

continuation    Unfortunately, when there was work on the head of a lion I ran out of batteries in the camera, so more photos with a ready thread head. You can see that part of the excess from the last attempt is cut and inserted into the groove on the blank bar. Now until the end of the thread it will be on it. If you look closely, you can see that the color of the wood has changed a bit , especially on the head figurines This is because of the oil , and which is impregnated with a lion's head . I put a brush oil on the thread. Tung oil is absorbed quickly and makes the tree a little different . Now it is pricked as before and is very convenient for carving even the smallest elements. Now you know a little secret.

This is still my last job. I finished it a few days ago. 
Here's a French lion   turned out.





If interested, and in that sense, I can show pictures during operation.
 

This sculpture cut and light wood. 
Here's what happened: 




 
This apple tree. 
Likely to put the dark figure of a model, but just have not decided yet. 
This turned out not so gentle in proportion as basketball, and breasts are too large 
This has not yet toned anything because it is easy to spoil everything

after drying oil tinting:




 
Everything. And so it did:

Hello My name is Alexander.  I apologize in advance if it is not clear. I do not speak in English and translated by a computer.  Decided to share their work. Here I will try to show your thread. Do thread recently, so far the results are not very many. But the thread very much. Now work has a couple of figures. So soon there will be still other figures. I hope with time I will continue to show what I will appear.    I'll start with figures that make for your model. Female figure on HMS Druid in 1776.  First, the final result:     
 
 
 
 
 

I show the next work. Sculpture for the French ship "Le Commerce de Marseille"

Now it's time to go on to the technical description of the work itself.
The first thing with which any of us starts to do a new thing is transferring the scheme to the workpiece. Here I have no new inventions. It's simple: I printed a drawing or a scheme printed on the right scale, I paste it on the workpiece. Although with this angel I had to think a little. The volumetric sculpture differs from many details of the ship. Often, one type is enough to make a ship element. Even in the carving, I often have only one circuit, for example, projections from the side. But with the angel it was not enough. I needed to combine 2 types: profile and type of face (front). I do not remember now why I did not draw a front with a pencil and decided to go a longer way. There was a time when I was interested to understand different 3D programs and build human figures in them. Around that time, I studied Zet Brash, but this does not apply to this topic. Maybe for this reason, instead of a pencil, I created a front view using the Poser program. Maybe for someone it will be an interesting solution. In this program, you can simulate any movement of a person. You can do both a man and a woman. Consider from any angle how complex and incomprehensible moments look like and much more on the table you can see what I did and the view from above). So I have 2 types on the workpiece: a front view and a side view.
 

 

 
The same stage shows the first stage of processing the workpiece. I did this with a circular saw. Sense, I think and so clear. Now I look at these photos and I myself try to remember what I wanted to do at that moment. I noticed that there was a patch untouched on the workpiece above the head. 
I think that I did it on purpose. Most likely I left it, so as not to spoil the view from above. I think there was glued there another kind. Means then it was then more convenient. It is interesting to consider old photographs.
P.S. I'll pause for this while I go to sleep. I'll continue tomorrow.

So, this story will go about this sculpture.

I'll start with a little prehistory.
 Once upon a time I saved a few photos from one marine forum, where this sculpture was made by an Italian master. I did not remember the name of that magnificent master, I have only photos of his work. She impressed me very much. At that time, I never tried to carve. And I liked this figure so much that I wanted to try to cut it out one day. So one day I decided to start work. She was just for me. This is not an order for someone. I started doing it for myself. In St. Petersburg was supposed to pass the University Cup competition and I decided to go there and try to participate in C3 with my carving. In that year, Ivan Trtan was supposed to come to the Cup, and I really wanted to see his carving with my own eyes, to talk with him personally. This happens only once in a lifetime. It was because of him that I wanted to become a member of the Cup, so that he looked at my work, gave me advice. By this point, I had 2 sculptures ready, and I decided that I could make another figure. And this 3 figure was this very figure from the ship Le Ambitieux.
Unfortunately, I do not know exactly who it is. I know that there was a lion in the book, and I do not know for what reason the Italian maestro decided to change it. Then there was no Google translation and I did not understand what was written in the forum where I first saw the photos. I still do not know who it really is: an angel or maybe it's some kind of character of ancient myths, like Perseus. He was not like Perseus, and I began to call him an angel. Although maybe I'm wrong. If someone suddenly knows who is actually writing, I will be very interested in learning the history of this sculpture.
