zeptraderUK Posted May 10, 2013 Author #32 Posted May 10, 2013 Work continues the the Cross Section, but just to say I've walked away from it for a few months as I was trying to figure a way of doing those scroll moulding, a method I couldn't get, as much as good folk suggested methods I wasn't happy with the result. So while I have this week off I decided to carry on and complete the outside of the hull, I've already scratch build the ladders/steps, re made the Fenders, basically taken everything off what Id had originally done and sanded the paint off.. didn't like the gloss effect on the paint. Thanks to again some good folk around here have tried a different method of painting and getting rid of the gloss effect. The problem Ive had is I want it perfect for me, I look at other who seem to find it very easy to come up with a perfect result first time, maybe they done a ship or 2 before, for me..nope, first one, I dont want to have spent this much money and make a mess, BUT..I decided it's taking over the whole idea of why I love model making, so with that in mind Ive managed to get my foot back in the door and have completed the scrool moulding MY WAY at least a way Im happy to live with. Pictures will be posted later today, painting has started, looks better..no looks good. So there we go, I continue to make this model and not to try to make the real thing, lets say my interpretation of HMS Victory Cross Section. As promised some nice piccy's The new mouldings and scroll..finally, im happy with it Taped up ready for painting, this time with Talc in the paint to dull it down a little. Scratch built fenders and ladders After paitning, yep..thats what I was after..perfect (in my eyes anyway) Lynn Young 1 Quote Colin ----------------------------------------- Current Build HMS Victory Cross Section 1:72 HMS Hood 1:200 On Hold HMS Victory (Full Hull) 1:84 HMAV Bounty
zeptraderUK Posted May 10, 2013 Author #33 Posted May 10, 2013 I used for the first time some 'Blacken it', seems to work ok but they came out a little grey rather than black, not a problem. I thought I'd have a few beers before starting this..ha, flippin' worked as well there we go, what do you think so far.

zeptraderUK Posted May 10, 2013 Author #40 Posted May 10, 2013 Thanks grant, yeah walking away for a while really does help. Mark, I simply cut 3 different sizes of dowl and sanded each down so as not to have them too far out, not historic but Im happy with it. Kevin, yeah the Yellow does look nice, I wanted to keep the wood showing through so I watered the paint down and added small amounts of talc to prevent it from becoming too shiny, so only 2 light coats, I didn't want to over do the paint.

Love the razor blade "tool" I may try something like that-great idea. Thanks for posting so many pics.....This will be an amazing cross section.

zeptraderUK Posted June 5, 2013 Author #49 Posted June 5, 2013 Finally managed to finish the outside of the hull, took some time and had a few issues but I think I can now continue with the inside. The lid with only one thread needs attention at some point, the supplied part didnt have the hole to feed the thread through. cpt.

AntonyUK Posted June 5, 2013 #52 Posted June 5, 2013 Hi Colin. Very Nice work. I like the idea of having the Orlop being removable while working on it I also like the extra beams..Adds much more detail and looks just right. Still folowing this build as I have just started mine.

yvesvidal Posted June 5, 2013 #54 Posted June 5, 2013 Colin, This is a gorgeous Build and you are doing terrific. I love the vast amount of pictures that you publish. How much I wish such a kit would be made available in the USA.... I would jump on it. The existing cross-sections at 1/96 scale are too small to present much interest, but 1/72 scale for the Victory is starting to be a nice model. Please keep us entertained and ....drooling (for me). Thanks Yves Quote
