Rossi46 Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share #32 Posted January 9, 2018 Umping ahead to the rear portion of the boat while plugging away at the deck. In order to make painying easier(airbrush) im building as much as i can off the boat. Here is a mock up with some of the molded plastic decorations in place. Lots of flashing on the plastic bits to remove. Most of the plastic parts are going to be gold. mtaylor, AntonyUK, Blighty and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that is a different, later, french boat. The model i am doing is a spanish ship famous from the battle lepanto in the 16th century. There is a full scale replica of it in barcelona. But there are are lots of tips and design cues i could use. Thanks for sharing. Here is a link to the boat im building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md1400cs Posted January 9, 2018 Share #36 Posted January 9, 2018 Ah yes noted. In the mid 1995 I visited Barcelona and do remember seeing her at the Maritime Museum, now that I remove the cobwebs from parts of my brain (very impressive museum as well). Good that there are many photos available. So helpful indeed - as it also is for my current project.

Rossi46 Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share #53 Posted March 2, 2019 Ive finished the boat for the most part and decided to try a water base to display it on. I really didnt know how to do it but figured any major mistake was a layer of primer away from a distant memory lol. The method i chose used insulation foam and drywall mud. After that i primed it with white acrylic paint and started adding layers. After a decent base coat was finished i sprayed it with lacquer gloss to seal it in and then kept painting on top. Another gloss lacquer clear coat provided a perfect surface to dry brush the peaks. Overall im thrilled with how they both are turning out. I still have to attach oars correctly and build frame and enclosure, but these pics will give you an idea. Blighty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobG Posted January 24, 2021 Share #57 Posted January 24, 2021 I just found your build log and enjoyed reading it. Your model and the diorama turned out fantastic! Congratulations. I might have to add this model to my wish list. Quote Bob Garcia "Measure once, cuss twice!"
