firdajan Posted October 14, 2013 Share #481 Posted October 14, 2013 What to say, Matti ? Your craftmanship is unbelievable. These carvings centairly takes a lot of time, but I´m sure the result will be more than perfect. Keep the pictures coming.

NAZGÛL Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share #485 Posted October 19, 2013 Hey all! Painted and mounted the Gideon soldiers and the bigger tritons on the galleries. As before I sanded them thin and reshaped them. I ended up with two soldiers more than I needed so I could add them to the stern row, Im happy I could do that as it ties the back and sides together and looks more like the real ship. Getting closer to finish the galleries. Ive counted how many figures Ive painted and stoped at 150. Im enjoyng it (once the towers were done) but now Im looking forward to start with the bow. /Matti Kevin, NMBROOK, canoe21 and 8 others 11 Quote Billing Boats Vasa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themadchemist Posted October 20, 2013 Share #490 Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Hello Matti I guess I have lurked long enough and it is time to step out of the shadows and make a comment. First I must say, I have always loved the Wasa's lines. I never realy liked the red though. Maybe its from seeing her in the blue so many times, but I have to say your colour blending and choice on the shade of red has converted me. The muted tones and colour blending of your work shows that you have lots of experience in mastering your abilities. Your mastery has created such a realistic portrayal of her, Great job! She's one beautiful build and your photography only helps to bring out the details of the colours and shading. I love the outdoor photos as they really show her true colours and beautiful detailing work.

NAZGÛL Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share #492 Posted October 20, 2013 Cheers for all the kind comment everybody! Like I said before your builds are a big inspiration for me and helps for inspiration and how to do things. Keith, Im glad you like it. I love the red Wasa with polychrome sculptures, but imo its easy to get the red and yellow to feel disharmonic, I had to redo the red a couple of times. I try to get a muted natural look when mixing colors, like blood red and bone yellow and sky blue. Mark, thats a lot of figures. I forgot that I will add the small sculptures on the gallery sides/windows when I guessed how many I need to paint. /Matti Quote Billing Boats Vasa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadchemist Posted October 20, 2013 Share #493 Posted October 20, 2013 That's what converted me, was the organic feel of your red. To me I envision autumn leaves. Your red tones down the polychromic carvings. Although the scultures have also been given a softened feeling which makes it really work. As you state, Harmonically. The resonance of the spectrum flows together, rather then create clashing boarders. Blurring the lines, without destroying them. Just as the great impressionist artists did in their works. Understand, I use to hate the red. It just looked wrong to my eyes. Now, with your impressions, I not only like it, but prefer it to the blue. You seem to have fixed what didn't work in my eyes. Now I see reality where before it was cartoon-esk. Its the equivalent of shouds with out of scale ratlines, in my opinion. The Details are what make a good build great. Personally I feel the best tip any new builder can get is - Slow down and feel your work, allow yourself to learn the slow processes and always let patience guide your decisions. Passion should always be your drive. Of course we all bring different tool kits to this hobby, your prior paint detailing really shows through. I love seeing an artisan that has paid the price of time, when they are creating. NAZGÛL and Salty Sea Dog 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAZGÛL Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share #498 Posted October 27, 2013 Cheers guys, Im glad for your interest! After redoing the window area for the towers and reshaping the tritons, I painted the tall sculptures.They are sanded thin to be in scale. I also painted the smaller ones that sits between the tall ones, but shape and sizewise they didnt look right on her so I will not use them. I mounted the tall figures on the top tower also (its not the way BB made it, but its not to far off compaired to the original this way). It also lets me change the way the tower windows looked earlier. I prefer this look much more. This means Im about 20 figures from being finished with the galleries. /Matti mtaylor, NMBROOK, riverboat and 6 others 9 Quote Billing Boats Vasa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
