Sovereign of the Seas by Hennie - Sergal - 1:78


Recommended Posts

Oh very interested in finding out what the sails are like. I've been thinking about buying he set myself. I have already ordered the correct flags from the U.K. BEC is the brand. At least the union flag will be correct as that of the ensign and charles the 1st banner.

@Anton: where did you get the correct flag(s)?

@Popeye: thx. Maybe I use the planks also for the second planking, because the colour isn't as dark as the wood in the box. And what's more important: they bend very easily. All the strips were delevered in a box: 15x50cm. They just bend them arround!

Hey Hennie, the flags are from Cornwall model boats. BEC brand. Attached are the flag codes I bought.

I do prefer Cornwall model boats as my main online store. A much greater range than what is available in Australia and reasonably quick postage.

Just checking in Hennie, nice progress and the sails look great. Good info on the flags.  Hey Hennie or Anton, would they also have Dutch flags?  What's their URL?

 

Cheers,

@Edwin: thx and as you say, I have all the time in the world. I want to be busy with this ship for at least several years:D

 

And a small update:

Put some peaces on the decks. For the colour, I used walnut wood stain and Artesania oil. Till now everything fits pretty well. I tried with round timber if the holes for the bowsprit and the masts were in the right place and they did:)

Wow, that deck or decks I should say, look terrific. Impressive looking ship Hennie.  That'll be a BIG model.

Hello Hennie ,the walnut stain makes the deck really stand out ,very nice ,the main thing to me is your smile of  enjoyment ,just like your profile , research ,scratch additions ,using stains and different paints to improve the look will in my opinion produce a masterpiece, following with much interest, in 1959 I did the Nimagan  march 100 km sorry for spelling , had the best time in your country,the most generous and happy people, was in brit mil then ,Edwin

@Edwin,

.....produce a masterpiece... Thx for the trust you have in me:) And I think you mean that you participated in the four days march  from Nijmegen or as we call it "de vierdaagse van Nijmegen). well, respect my friend :)

 

And of course the weekly update:

I removed the woodstrips from the deck in front. I was not quit satisfied with it. Allready replaced it. Only have to put the pins on it....

I also had to do some modifications. So I had to lower the frontside of the frontdeck because I found out that that piece of wood that coveres the front, wasn't high enough.

And I did some painting. The black paint I will polish and then a second black coating. But that's for next week....

 

Gr.

Hennie

I don't like building small ships, my eyes are too bad.

 

Best of luck on your build.  May the seas be fare and the rum be flowing. :cheers:

And here is my weekly update again.

Planking the decks will take much more time as I thought in the first place. Though the strips are from Caldercraft, the sizes are all different :angry::angry:. They go from 3.2mm up to 4.8mm as you can see on the picture.

 

IMG_1576.thumb.JPG.53cdaf3a9ecdb30a89ed65513ad3f5fb.JPG

I used a dart and hammer to make little holes in the strips. After using Artesania-oil, it gives a nice (nail)effect.

I also made some doors, we all want our privacy, do we.....

Looking at my ship now, I am quit satisfied how it goes so far. Had to do several modifications to get it all fit and as I see it, many mods will follow. But its part of this hobby...:D

Looks great Hennie.

 

Are giving that deck another sanding?

And watch out with the caulking.

At some planks it looks not that great.
