After you have made the fine parts and they are "Baked" then I am assuming that then you paint them. But after that then you show us them on a new sheet and then on the model. Can you share some information about the way you handle these last two steps? And I forgot to say that the work in simply amazing. Michael Hello Michael, no problem, I will bring detailed report and tutorial from the work with these fine pieces of decoration as soon as possible. I believe, it could be interesting. And thank you for your kind words.

Hubac's Historian Posted November 30, 2018 Share #427 Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) Hello Doris, As ever, Katherine is a dazzling display of ornamental wizardry; a true feast for the eyes! I notice your tree-nailing pattern alternates every other frame. This is something that Dan Pariser had researched for his Queen Ann’s Revenge build, and a pattern that I adopted for my build. I wasn’t sure whether it was necessarily correct for Soleil Royal in 1689, but In the absence of more concrete information, I went with it because I like it. Do you have other more specific information about this nailing pattern? Whether it is specifically English, or more broadly in use throughout Europe? Just curious.

Well, I followed the museum models from that period and information from the books.

DORIS Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share #436 Posted December 1, 2018 Hubac's Historian : You are welcome. Albert: Thank you very much, I am pleased you like my work. As I promised, I am bringing a tutorial how I make those fine pieces of decoration. Unfortunately, the video was unreadable - the decorations are so tiny that the camera cannot focus on them. So I could take only detailed pictures from the process. I gently roll thin tubes with a finger on the paper background, mainly use peaked tweezers and fine brush to shape the modeling clay (I have already written here about the kind of clay I use = in our country is called modurit/modelit, it is a polymer hardened by heat). I shape this mass on the wax paper, it is very important for easy separating pieces of decoration after baking from the background.

DORIS Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share #437 Posted December 1, 2018 After baking the mass hardens but remains slightly flexible. I carefully separate each piece of decoration with a small sheet of paper or using a thin blade, but it is often quite easy to separate decoration only by bending the wax paper.

DORIS Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share #439 Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) Before gilding I always try to attach each piece of decoration on the model to check whether it suits well: Gilding the decoration - I use golden acrylic paint: After gilding I relocate the ornaments to clean paper, where the paint dries. Soon I will bring other pics from the process, where you can see the final work. Excuse my unsightly hands, they are sore from hard work I did last days.

druxey Posted December 1, 2018 Share #440 Posted December 1, 2018 Thank you, Doris. Obviously those thin pieces are not brittle after baking, which explains why they do not break.

There are more possibilities of course. I have good experience with this kind of wax paper and it is also easily available for me. The mass is baked in the oven at a temperature of about 130 ° C, so the wax paper endures without problems. I always use a new sheet of wax paper for next decoration. ************************************** Today I made new ornaments for bow section, two pieces are situated around holes for anchor ropes.
