Baker Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share #154 Posted November 15, 2020 Did some extra detail (rope)on the belaying pins. These have become almost invisible, so they were made of a simple round plastic strip. New swivel guns have also been made, simple made cannons but better than the one in the kit. To have a tapered effect parts of stretched sprue are used. extra detail. Kit cannon versus home made version The swivel gun supports on the rear deck are made too high. The guns are so high in relation to a person that they are only suitable for use as AA guns... or to shoot at seagulls Delicate moments Cannons mounted and ready for action.

Baker Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share #156 Posted November 18, 2020 Final update, the anchors. The anchors of the kit. The improved version of the anchors and 2 of the 5 figures that will be used Discovered that the anchor cable i used is a bit too thick... Anchors in place This is where the build of this model ends. Friends of ours bought this kit for the kids, forgot about it in the attic, and then it almost ended up in the bin. To be built later by someone who only has experience with plastic military models Overall, I am satisfied with this little model it gave me many hours of building pleasure Photos of the complete model. To bring some life into this diorama. An inspector from the Royal Navy listens to what the shipbuilder has to say about the ship, before it is approved for service It probably didn't work that way at the time, but these 2 figures supplied with the kit were very suitable for this setup Thanks everyone for following, comments, good advice and likes J11, shipman, Bob Fraser and 9 others 12 Quote Regards, Patrick Finished : Soleil Royal Heller 1/100 Wasa Billing Boats Bounty Revell 1/110 plastic (semi scratch) Pelican / Golden Hind 1/45 scratch Current build : Mary Rose 1/50 scratch Gallery : Revell Bounty Pelican/Golden hind 1/45 scratch To do : Prins Willem Corel, Le Tonnant Corel, Yacht d'Oro Corel, Thermopylae Sergal Shore leave, non ship models build logs : ADGZ M35 funkwagen 1/72 Einhets Pkw.

lmagna Posted November 19, 2020 Share #167 Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) Glad to hear that you are getting better Patrick. Scary stuff. Your added mini diorama goes to show something about ships that I have always found interesting. Looking at them when they are sitting high and dry in drydock they look HUGE. Seeing them tied up alongside a dock they can look large, especially when they are square rigged with all of the tall masts and long yardarms. But seeing them, (Or being on board) while at sea with no land in sight, especially in rough weather even the largest ship looks all too tiny.

Danstream Posted November 26, 2020 Share #168 Posted November 26, 2020 Spectacular model, Patrick. In some of the pictures, the model is so imposing that it is really difficult to tell that its scale is 1/110. I noticed that you are used to paint with Tamiya acrylic paints. I understood you apply them by brush. If yes, how do you manage that? I largely use them, but only by airbrush. In other builds of yours, I have seen that you brush them also on wood with quite realistic results. Also in that case, how do you do that? Again, my compliments for a very nice and very credible model. Best regards, Dan.
