t5956ws Posted November 23, 2015 Share #1 Posted November 23, 2015 Does anyone have any insight on how to achieve detailing on the stern gallery. The ship I'm building from scratch has much of this type of work. 3/16 scale. Many thanks in advance. Bill mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardG Posted November 23, 2015 Share #2 Posted November 23, 2015 Bill, You might want to take a look at Doris' Royal Caroline build. She has done a superb job using modelling clay. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/854-royal-caroline-by-doris-card-1749-140/page-4#entry19099 Richard mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t5956ws Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted November 23, 2015 Richard, I did look over the Royal Caroline by Doris. Amazing detail. But the how, that's where I'm stuck. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted November 24, 2015 Share #4 Posted November 24, 2015 Bill, Get this book... http://carvingbook.weebly.com/ Bill is a sponsor here and this book is worth it's weight in gold. By detailing, I'm assuming you mean the carving part? Also in the scratch area, there's logs that have the carvings done and most have info on how they did it. Also, there's an excellent starter topic here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/501-carved-figure-heads-and-decorations/?hl=carvings Canute, janos and CaptainSteve 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted November 24, 2015 Share #5 Posted November 24, 2015 Another book that may assist: The Fireship Comet of 1783, SeaWatchBooks. This has an extensive section on the stern and quarter galleries as well as the headwork and carved works. mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhermann Posted November 24, 2015 Share #7 Posted November 24, 2015 Bill Grant Dale (expertly directed by Danny Vadas) did a rework of Victory's stern a few years ago. Unfortunately most of the details were lost with the great MSW crash of 2013, but he did post a short photo summary of the job on the first page of his resurrected log. That log can he found here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/163-hms-victory-by-grant-dale-mamoli-scale-190/?hl=victory The photos may give some inspiration for process, or maybe someone saved the details of the re-build and will post them as a result of seeing this.
