Thank you very much Hubac'sHistorian !

After several days of intermittent carvings, the figurehead is about to be completed - the support will be removed.

And see you here again，It's too awesome，niubility

 

[Jack H]

Thanks imanewbie

 

I made a fatal mistake at the last step and the sleeves were broken.It seems too fat, the head may be too big, uncoordinated. It needs to be optimized again.

Not sure what the fatal mistake is? Looks like a sleeve, but a long one - so could be shortened

[Gaetan Bordeleau]

Hi Hjx,

 

looking at the second picture:

some more work inside the right hand may be

left thigh, I do not if it is the angle of the picture but in comparison proportion of the right one looks better.

head too big, I do not see that in proportion

[Jack H]

Thanks Mike Y and Gaetan Bordeleau!

I carved one again,and I use more fine textured box-wood this time. But still made a mistake-her left hand was broken, and it was a pity for me.

Maybe it will be a year later to continue this project, I have to make the drawings of HMS Victory 1765 first, so maybe it's the last update this year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The purpose of making this project is to verify some strange ideas in my mind. Maybe you will think it's incredible or impossible. For example, I use 3D and CNC technology to planking.Yes,planking! Once i told a friend of mine that I didn't use a saw (manual or power-saw) to make frame of ship model. He asked me, am I crazy?Maybe that's me, and I like to do it in my own way.

Using your 3D and CNC isn't crazy at all.  There's some of us using laser cutters to cut the planks out.

[Hubac's Historian]

I love your ingenuity, HJX.  Your approach opens my mind to what is possible 

[Beckmann]

Hello Jack, are you still working on this project? It looks fantastic. I have seen the original model in paris among with the models from the "Trianon collection" in 2017, before they closed the museum.

The figurehead is beautiful.

Hello everyone, I'm sorry that due to the pressure of my family, my wife doesn't agree with me to continue the non-commercial ship model project, so I stopped (or suspended) all personal non-commercial projects. Of course, L'Artesien is non-commercial, because it's very difficult for me to obtain the license from Ancre - the probability that I obtain the license from Ancre is less than 0.0001%,i think.

 

I would like to thank all the enthusiastic members who have followed this project.

 

My friend Dahai, who is also my partner, will use his method to make La Artesien.This is the model he's working on.

 

 

 

So I will continue the carving parts of this project, including figure head,but I'm busy with the Cunmberland 1774 project right now, so it will be in a few months.

 

My friend helped me remake the head using sculpture clay.

 

 

I made some modifications with the software myself,

 

 

So this carving set will be reborn in another way.

 

By the way, I'll give you a preview of my new project, HMS Cumberland 1774, which I'm starting to validate.

 

Currently, the scale of 1:48 and 1:36 is being verified.

 

 

This is designed based on the original draught of NMM. My UK partner obtained (purchased) the license for the commercial kit development of this project in 2018.All the software used in the design, CNC programming and processing of this project has purchased commercial license. (rhino6, rhinocam 2018, silo2.5, ZBrush 2018...) includes plug-ins for ZB, and other software...

 

Thank you!

very impressive work Hjx

 

do not stop your work!

[scrubbyj427]

Well this looks intriguing! When should we expect to see this become available? 
 

very nice work Jack!

[Jack H]

Thank you Gaetan,JJ and all the "likes", I think I will help Dahai release his subsequent buildlog, or a new buildlog releasd by himself,L'Artesien's figurehead will after Cumberland's,I'm working on Cumberland's figurehead these days. By the way, due to the epidemic situation, European friends participating in the model validation need to wait until March to may,  China's modelers will test this model(Cumberland) earlier.

[scrubbyj427]

Looking forward to this release Jack! Looks great!

[Jack H]

Thank you JJ!

Maybe it's not suitable to publish Cumberland in the buildlog of Artesien. I think  it's the last time release photos of Cumberland here. I'll create a new buildlog to introduce HMS Cumberland 1774. As the left arm will interfere with the processing of the body, I will carve the left arm separately and hide the splicing line in the robe. Although the real figure head's arms will not do this, but as a model, I will hide the splicing line.

[scrubbyj427]

This is looking very exciting! I’m definitely going to build this as soon as you release it. Was actually looking at drawings of Cumberland the other day, just before you posted this!

[Jack H]

 

My friend‘s  POB La Artesien, process of planking on hull, so I modified the figurehead one more time, a lot of modifications, from head to foot.

 

 

 

 

[scrubbyj427]

Is this a rhino plug in for the figureheads? Or a separate software for carving?

I use rhino6 and ZBrush 2018 (upgraded to 2021), so my figure head can be  assembled to the model accurately.

 

By the way, my own Cumberland, I was waiting for the modeler to complete the first chapter, so I took time to do something else.

[scrubbyj427]

Looking forward to seeing some updates on Cumberland again soon.

Magnificent work of research and execution. Continue accordingly !

wonderful work , can you please give me more details about the software you use to convert 3D drawing and conversion for the benefit of working in cnc

I'm sorry I forgot to reply to you. I saw your question at that time, but I was busy with other things. Later, I forgot.  I saw this post today one more time accidentally ...

 

I use rhino6, silo2.5 ,zbrush2018, and then program machining with rhinocam 2018. The commercial licenses of these software are relatively cheap. I mean, compared with expensive software such as Solidworks + solidcam, 3DMAX, UG, PowerMILL .... But personal use of these software（rhino/cam,zb...） is still a big expense. I spent about $4900 at that time.The price of SolidWorks + solidcam in China  is  $11,500, from Chinese agent in 2018.
