nat Posted June 12, 2013 Share #63 Posted June 12, 2013 Colin, Does that cross-section include a mast and spar? I have never seen a picture of the completed model but it sure looks terrific. Yves I'm sure I have seen an advert for a full mast for this kit! I just cant think where? If I come across it I will post a link for you. With regard to your painted finish, was the paint sprayed/airbrushed or pot and brush applied? I do like the finish that you have achieved, I presume a flat varnish has been applied on all the painted surfaces? Very nice work, so crisp and clean. Nat.

zeptraderUK Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share #65 Posted June 21, 2013 Hi, thanks for the comments. With regard to your painted finish, was the paint sprayed/airbrushed or pot and brush applied? I do like the finish that you have achieved, I presume a flat varnish has been applied on all the painted surfaces? The outside of the hull was painted but some talc was added to reduce the shine (so no flat varnish), inside the ship no varnish was used, only basic stains, in fact 2 stains were used, the first to get a foundation dark oak effect, and once dried lightly sanded back, then a more richer stain was used and once again this was lighty sanded back. Finally I used dark oak beeswax, this was rubbed on and buffed to the result you see on the model. thanks Quote Colin ----------------------------------------- Current Build HMS Victory Cross Section 1:72 HMS Hood 1:200 On Hold HMS Victory (Full Hull) 1:84 HMAV Bounty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeptraderUK Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share #66 Posted June 21, 2013 More progress on the cross section, something Ive really wanted to do but had the learn the basics first, I think its worked out very well. Now I have a method I can finally move onto other decks. :dance: The Electrics/Lighting yvesvidal 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeptraderUK Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share #67 Posted June 21, 2013 Copper Tape with a little solder. The connections are made from the deck to the hold pump well edges (see the 2 copper tape + & -), once the deck has been seated properly the connection is made, and as you can see from the pictures the rest of covered by the shot locker with wire coming from the lower section. yvesvidal 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeptraderUK Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share #68 Posted June 21, 2013 The Results I'm totally happy with the results, just as I imagined it to be, the copper tape is far better material than having wire everywhere, but make sure you keep checking your connections..I found out the hard way :shifty: Again nothing has been glued down yet, I'm not sure at what point I will start glueing, but I'm mindful of committing and finding a dry joint, that would be the whole effect over, although as I doing these LED's in parallel then one light out doesn't mean all light's out. yvesvidal and cpt.

yvesvidal Posted June 21, 2013 Share #69 Posted June 21, 2013 This is a "brilliant" idea. I like mingling modern technology lighting with these old ships. It will make your beautiful work stand out, when people look at your cross-section. Yves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Posted August 17, 2013 Share #71 Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) Hello Colin,,, I love your build. It's the perfect remedy for the anxiety I contracted as I build the Jotika version of Victory. My build log is available here at MSW if you care to look at it. My problem is that I'm unhappy as I'm about to glue on the quarterdeck and therefore hide so much of the work that has taken so many hours to construct. I really believe that I would like to build the same cross section kit as you but have no idea where to purchase it. Perhaps you can help me out and let me know. I have no qualms about buying it from a UK company as I bought my Victory kit from an English company. Please let me know the name of a company where the cross section kit is available. Many thanks....
