San Felipe by newbuilder101 (Sherry) – Scale 1:96


Recommended Posts

I saw your comment on the Ark issue.........I didn't want to give you the impression,  that I had the impression,  and make you think,  that I thought,  that you were making an Ark.  besides........I didn't see any animals! ........only two............only two :D :D :D

 

 

very nice progress........very nice detail done on the doors ;)    I tried to make molding like that with a different approach......with the use of sand paper {I have pictures of this somewhere}    .....very time consuming,  I can tell you that!   I have an old Ambroid kit of an HO train,  and in the kit,  is this very nice scribed molding.  Ambroid was very well known for different types of milled wood.   today,  the company has changed hands {Northeastern scale models}  ......they now only do structures and doll house supplies.   I'm sure Andy knows of a good outlet for specially milled wood

I yam wot I yam!

Sherry I would love to see that.. Can you imagine it on a big seriously detailed build like yours, all the Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh My! with their heads sticking out.. Classic :)

 

Thanks for the Cloth/Grain tip by the way!

 

Those browns and blues on the hull look 'the business'  too.

I would like to thank everyone for the kind words and well wishes for my brother. My heart is saddened, beyond words, to report that he passed away this afternoon.

 

I know this is a build log for my ship, but I would like to post one photo as a mini tribute to him - my favourite photo of him:

I forgot to mention that he loved my model ships and was thrilled that I had taken up where my Dad left off...

Sherry,

 

I'm saddened to hear this.  A good picture and fond memories are the best way to remember anyone who's not with us anymore.  I hope your good memories will ease your pain.

Dear Sherry, I lost my elder brother four years ago. We were both modellers and when he died I had no one to share my hobby with until I found this website and the marvellous people who populate it. I often think of him when I'm building my model ship and when I saw Anjas moving sentiment at the end of her posts I must admit to shedding a few tears. My sincere condolences on the sad loss of your brother

Thank-you to everyone for the kind words and support. The shipyard was quiet for a while, but lately I found the time and desire to make sawdust again.

 

Now on to the update.

 

I managed to cut the curved railings at the bow from a half dowel that I had first hollowed with some of my carving tools, and then installed them.

I used some brass wire, which I coiled, cut, and flattened, for the outer face of the round gun ports.

The railings are finished, as well as one of the stern decorations.

The flash was a little extreme in this photo and as a result the blue appears much brighter than it really is.

And this is where she stands at the moment.
