Aggasiz -Flower Class Corvette by dj.bobo - cut-away model


Recommended Posts

Good evening to everyone, as I promised I will begin a new ship used in the Second World War to escort the overseas convoy sin from the united kingdom of Murmansk in Russia, this ship is called Aggasiz a flower  corvette.
I'm inspired by the plans in the anatomy of ship  the book, a book I bought from the Amazon and which is renowned for the accuracy of the plans presented. But the main challenge is to build this structural model, with everything inside and outside the ship, this type of construction is according to the Naviga rules in the C4D class.It will be a long construction with a lot of work with many hundreds of details, the most ambitious project that I start and I hope to take it to the end. About the beginning, let's get to work.

All the best and a beautiful evening you still want

An interesting and ambitious project, Adrian! Judging from your lifeboat model, you should certainly build an outstanding model.

Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series  http://trafalgar.tv

Ahoy, Adrian. If I understand you correctly this will be a cut-away model. I edited your title for you to reflect this. I'm fond of the Flower class, since I built the 1/100 Modelik kit using this very book as a reference. Good luck!

Thanks to everyone for the encouragement will be a difficult and unusual construction, for this construction I will also use the cartoon magazine Modelik and another book about corvettes written by Jhon Lamber and Les Brown. I build this ship at 1/48 scale because many of the drawings in Anatomy are at this scale.
So for today, a beautiful evening still.

I'm another fan of the Flower Class Corvette, Adrian, and looking forward to your new project.

Were you inspired by the magnificent cut away model made by Barry Sharman? I was lucky enough to see his outstanding work at a model show back in 2012, be good to see how your build progresses.

Hi, now I saw Mr. Barry Sharman's work, what I can say is he worked after a 1/72 scale revell kit and I will build this ship from scratch in which the starboard board will be free only with a part of the ship's bottom . Below I put a work of colleague Dan with this ship at 1/350 which won 94 points and the silver medal at the European championship Kavarna 2017.
All the best .

Good evening to everyone, because today was the national day of Romania and it was a free day we devoted to the study of construction plans. On this occasion, I chose the plans that I use for construction, as extracted from the book now I will scale from 1/192 to 1/48 with a zoom of 400%, and those at 1/96 at 1/48 with zoom of 200%.
I intend to make up half of the ship's body on the port side in the negative, then in that negative I will first apply the ship's shell, then the ribs and the skeleton of the ship on the inside. I will work a lot with styrene in which I will reproduce rivets, reinforcements and many others about 98% of the ship's construction.
So much for today, a beautiful evening I still want.

Adrian,

Good evening for everyone, I started working with the edging of the ribs in the negative and placing them on the support, I'm going to apply a layer of sticks.
A nice evening .

Very interesting procedure Adrian,

 

never seen the planking of a negative hull-side on this forum before    ;)

You seem to know exactly what you`re doing there....., looks well thought through

Good evening, and for me as a navy model is a premiere this way of work but some time ago I saw in a small shipyard this working method in which pieces of the ship were made on a negative. Now the shipyards are working on designing and cutting materials by computer and the old methods of work have become ineffective.
All the best ,

Good evening again, my time is limited, I accelerated and finished loading the ship inside. For finishing I will use a little bit of polyester putty.
So much for today, a beautiful evening to have.

Good evening for everyone, work goes further with finishing the ship's body and drawing the ribs on the body. I'm going to trace the sheets of each sheet of paper after the plane of the sheets.
A beautiful evening still.

Good evening for everyone, work continues with the making of sheet metal patterns
. I counted 109 pieces of work. Work hard and roughly piece by piece.
A beautiful evening I still want you.

Hi Adrian - 

 

That is some beautiful, careful work that you are doing, and using a method that I haven't seen before.  Do I understand correctly that you are plating the inside of the hull?

Yes, shipmodel, amateur you understand well I will build in the interior with the shell of styrene fillets and add ribs, stringers, keel and all the ship's bosom.
As I said before, this way of building is a premiere, if I succeed will be a great success, if I can not succeed it will be a big failure.
For the ship's cornice I will use 0.25 mm styrene corresponding to 1/48 scale.

A beautiful evening still.

Good evening for everyone, I completed the first operation on this model, the plating. Follow the weight, mounting 107 ribs.
A beautiful evening still I wish you.

Good evening for everyone, work continues with the first elements of the ship's ribs. These tracks will catch the ribbons themselves. Everything made of the same styrene.
A nice evening .

I certainly hope everyone has read the novel The Cruel Sea, which features the life of a Flower Class corvette in the North Atlantic in WWII. There’s a pretty good film version of the novel too.

Yes, I have read this book for a long time through gymnasium and I was impressed, I recently found the film and it will be a source of inspiration to me.
All the best .
