Great work mate B)  B) They look good even if it wasn't your first go at carving.Lets face it,they aren't much larger than those preposterously small figures I carved for the prow of Sovereign.I bet you are glad they are behind you know though ;) BTW what has happened to your signature picture,or is it just me that can't see it?

 

Kind Regards

Thanks mate! Yeah, well I enjoyed doing the heads and faces, but I'm happy to be done with those vertical lines below them. I look forward to have a go with pear someday.

 

I'm confused about the sig picture. It looks right on my smartpone, but not on the PC. I'll look into it.

Nice first try at carving, Matti. Last one shows up as the better, I would say. But that´s the way it is, usually. :P  Waiting for your next pics!

Thanks Vivian, Yeah the last one is best but also slightly bigger so it was easier to get the details right.

 

Sherry, cheers I'll try that tonight.

 

Thanks for the likes everyone!

Matti. Is it only me or a lot of your photos are not shown in the last 3 pages? Everyone else can see them? I only see a frame with the words "wasanlogo3.jpg"

 

Nice job on those figures though. I can still see a few pictures.

There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT.

Thanks Ulises! Are some pictures corrupted, and if so why? Weird.

Edit: went on the PC and the only pic that doesn't seem to work is the signature pic.

 

I'll upload it and try again.

Hi Matti

You are probably unaware as you were away.We had hard drive issues on the site over the weekend.This has resulted in the loss of some pictures on build logs mainly posted around June/July time last year.I have a gap in images on my Sovereign log.I think this may have been the cause with your signature

 

Kind Regards

Matti,

I keep thinking your Wasa looks even better than the original. But, then again, the original did sit at the bottom of the Baltic Sea for some 300 years+.

:cheers:

Thanks mate! I found a piece of wood I bought at the local hobby shop a while back and thought it could be lemon (I have a hard time to recognize wood). I gave it a go trying to make a sculpture, but it didn't work at all, so it must have been something else. It's pretty hard and good for details, but it turned out to break easily, so after a few hours work, the face broke off.

 

Ps. Weird, couple of posts have disappeared...

The two Herakles sculptures are not included in the BB kit. I want to try and carve them. The first one had the face getting lose, so I had to start over. I'm not sure the wood is obechi. It's more brown, a little harder and when I put it in boiling water it doesnt smell bad at all. The obechi planks used for the hull smelled like moose fart when they go wet. It could be a different wood then listed, or a missread on my part.

 

Anyways, here is the first one. Seems Mr Hercules forgot his pants, but at least he remembered his lion hat.

Nice carving work mate!One slip with the knife and he would have been a she :D  :D If it is Obechi,then very well done,this stuff whilst hard,is also very splintery.

Gracias Karl! Yeah that's my usual aproach to modelling. ;) I'm starting to plan for another build and would need to make more carvings then, so I need to learn this, what to buy and so on for that one.

 

These carvings will do as I can get about the same level of details as the kits original plastic sculptures. Since it's my first build I look at it as my first lessons and live with the limit of my abilities.
