Brigantine Phoenix by Bishophobbies - Master Korabel - Scale 1:72


Recommended Posts

 I purchased this a few months ago from a www.hobbyterra.com, it is produced by ex USSR manufacturers – it's very complete and very detailed, all parts are laser cut – even the outside hull planking.  It has instructions in Russian, but I'm a little rusty so I'll refer to the picture diagrams and the English instructions.  When it's finished it will be 590 mm long, by 440 mm high and 220 mm wide.  So here are some pictures:

Ok - thanks for the nice comments.  Warm chocolate chip cookies and milk for those watching (I'm LDS so I don't drink).  Here are a few more photos, this is a really nice kit so far.

Party foul!!! My bad about the country of manufacture.  All I have been able to find is that this is produced by ex USSR manufacturers.  Maybe someone can clarify.

Moving along nicely.  I've used my wife's curling iron to make curves in soaked wood – it works fantastic.  Latest photos:

There are recliners on the front row - first come first served! Also unlimited popcorn (I accidentally typed potcorn - now wouldn't that be something!!!).

Looks like a nice clean little build. 

Don't forget to fair the bulkheads before planking.

The photo instructions look good.

I've finished the first layer of hull planking, then sanded with 60, 150 then 220 grit sandpaper.  I feel that it went pretty well for my first hull planking effort, and I learned a few things along the way.

The kit makes it pretty easy - all hull planks are pre cut to the right shape.  That really helps - I'll find out when I build the AL Surprise.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  I've recently upgraded my tools in the shipyard, do you think I have enough paint?

 

The last three are photos of my office outside of my shipyard (storage room).

 

Life is good when you're retired.

Yes - that would be great!  I can't help but think though that the effort you have to make to properly shape the hull planks is part of what makes this hobby what it is.  If it's made too easy then it takes away some of the craftsmanship that is needed.  That said - I would love to see more pre cut planks.

The second set of hull planks have been installed, also the decking and internal hull sheeting.  The wood here is untreated, I plan on staining the wood with MinWax stain, and I hope that I've gotten all of the wood glue removed (sanded off) or the stain will have another color.  I can see in these pictures that there are areas that need attention.  Any suggestions on glue removal?  I've tried to be really careful, but evidently not careful enough.

I've done a bit more - added trim pieces inside and outside and stained the deck (Minwax Golden Oak) and the rest of the hull (Minwax Natural).  I'm not to happy with the deck as it a little splotchy due to the variation in the wood.

Another update - I've redone the deck color and added some deck furniture and the rudder hinges.

Here is another update of my wood ship model - Brigantine Phoenix. I've added a few more deck items and finished the bow area. I've used almost no paint on this - it's all Minwax natural, ebony, dark walnut and golden oak.

Greenstone - to answer your question - no further progress.  The finished hull still sits in the display case and yells at my to finish it every time I pass by.  I will get back to it.

Ok - I'm back on the job.  I'm going to finish this thing.  The first thing I've done is hang up some of the ship plans then sort the various dowels in the kit according to their callout on the plans. 

I've also included some pics of my small work area.
