Top sail schooner by Piet - FINISHED - 1:2000 - BOTTLE - shipyard diorama


Recommended Posts

Also I have a build log that sounds similar to what your going to do. It's an early work and not the best but maybe it can give you some ideas. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/120-fly-by-dsiemens-bottle-1400-british-cutter/?hl=%2Bfly+%2Bcutter

Yes, I remember that one Daniel, amazing stuff.  Oh my itchy fingers but I need to concentrate on the VOC ship first before I get into hot water with Gwen :o

I just may sneak in a clipper ship at scale 1:3000 - - - - don't tell Gwen though.

 

Cheers,

Piet, The Flying Dutchman.

Yup, I admit it, I'm nuts but there is an old saying in Holland "wie niet waagt die niet wint," or freely translated "who doesn't try he doesn't win."  it's right now just in the planning stage and sorting out the possibilities at this scale, material wise.  I have it already pictured in my mind but the execution of it is a whole other story.  Who knows.

 

Cheers,

Piet, The Flying Dutchman.

Thanks guys for dropping in and your kind comments.

 

In my shipyard everybody has a front seat Patrick, with service ;)

 

I have to ratlines too Jan?  Okay but they'll be so thin you wont be able to see them ;)

 

No, Denis, I don't have the room for another large model so I'm going into the direction of Patrick, all miniatures ;)  The other day when I was in the garage I was really tempted to start carving the hull but thought better of it.  VOC ship Surabaya now has priority.  Oh, I forgot, I'm supposed to start with a 1:350 scale Dutch  Dutch submarine kit model - - - - - soon B) 

 

Hey Daniel,  happen to have a spool of real silk thread and when I unravel it I can come to the individual spider threads.  They are thinner then my own hair.  I used a few glued together for the diorama.  Problem is that I had a real problem handling them, they are that thin.  But it'll be another challenge and exercise for my eyes.  

 

Cheers,

Piet, The Flying Dutchman.
