My last job. Made it quite recently.
Hippocampus for "Halifax". There are differences on how this figure appears in the drawings Harold Hahn. So the client wishes.






 

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.

Last entry for the cockerel. Customer sent photos, which already figure on the model. So I decided to show them to you. This model is not finished yet and its final form has changed. Somewhere added trim. But much can be estimated now.

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.

further:

Showing those pictures that I took during operation. Technology and now was the same as shown earlier. But I think it will still be interesting.
First Stage:

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







 

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.

Home. 
You can see that for simplicity I glued the paper with the drawing on the workpiece. The first thing to do for landing slot


 
Then I switched on the machine circular saw, so faster



 
The following picture shows that this thread I had a second. The first attempt was a little different, and the customer has not approved it.

 
PS To be continued.
sorry, have to run for job

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

covered with oil:


 
after drying oil tinting:




 
Everything. And so it did:


 
Sincerely, Alexander
 
 
 
 
 
 

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:

No it's not. Along the edges, the canal was elevated for water to have a good angle without water, and it did not just stand at the stems, but flowed to the midsection, where the pumps were. During the breakdown, the ship can tolerate much more water in the hold and not sink. Remember the moment from the film about Aubrey after the first meeting with the French. He went down to the hold to check the water level. There was a swimming pool in which it was easy to swim. And the ship stayed afloat. Limber canal needs were needed when there was not much water in the hold, it stood in the form of small puddles and this was enough to spoil the tree. With a large leak, the water itself reached the pump and was pumped out of the hold.
 

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.

Thank you, Eddie.
You're too kind to me. Before Mikellandzhelo me very far. I love to be considered antique sculptures. If it were possible, I would gladly settled in Moscow, in the Pushkin Museum, the Hermitage or some other museum, where i can every day to see the magnificent sculpture. I agree life to any small closet.
Good thing there is the internet, where you can find many images and photos without leaving the table.
 
I can see their mistakes, and they probably have in any of my work. There is always a desire to do a little bit wrong, how it happened.
 
You ask about the large sculpture? At the height of the human? Such I never did. But maybe one day I will be offered to participate in this order. Even interesting.
By my standards, this Minerva is very big. Even more size was only a figure of the British lion. Most models of the ships make smaller. Later I'll show you how it looks Minerva next to other figures.
