firdajan Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share #32 Posted April 16, 2017 Thank you, friends, for your comments. Daniel Caramango: some carvings are cutted from paper, then hardened by superglue, figures are made from modurit - it is the plastic modeling mass hardening by boiling or baking. I made some parts of decoration - roman soldiers ( I hope it looks like soldiers, I´m not very good sculptor and figures are just 25 mm long ), pedestals, molding on the stern and two little carvings on the bow, catheads, gun carriages ( simple ones I glued inside the ship ) and gun barrels. Just gunports lids and the lamp are missing.

Louie da fly Posted March 7, 2020 Share #51 Posted March 7, 2020 Beautiful work, Jan. Really impressive. I wonder why they had all the guns in the after half of the ship.

firdajan Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share #52 Posted April 2, 2020 Thank you, friends, for your replies. Louie da fly: probably yes, if you have as a cargo some logs or planks or boards, you need a place. But if you want to know more, please ask Abhovi. I completed all the yards 😊 and start to make ribs for parrals. I also ordered 1,4 mm beads for them. And I have to produce some blocks...a lot of blocks...

Chuck Seiler Posted August 17, 2020 Share #59 Posted August 17, 2020 I agree with Steven/Louie. Marvelous work. Somewhere down the line I am planning to build a model of an English cargo ship used for transporting immigrants to America in 1683. It appears to be based on a pinas, similar to the flyte in many respects. I am using Ab Hoving's plans but will be relying on your build log for inspiration. ...but first I have to finish the 2 cogs and 1 carrack currently on the drawing board (that Louie tempted me into). mtaylor 1 Quote Chuck Seiler San Diego Ship Modelers Guild Nautical Research Guild Current Build:: Colonial Schooner SULTANA (scratch from Model Expo Plans), Hanseatic Cog Wutender Hund, John Smith Shallop Completed: Missouri Riverboat FAR WEST (1876) Scratch, 1776 Gunboat PHILADELPHIA (Scratch 1/4 scale-Model Shipways plans) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkay11 Posted August 17, 2020 Share #60 Posted August 17, 2020 I very much appreciate the extent to which you detail the stages and methods of your build. Unfortunately I forgot to ask about the construction of the deck and planking which looks very good. Are the planks made of card, cut into strips and glued on a base, then painted? Or are they wood strips? Also, how did you make the gratings?
