archjofo Posted March 16, 2019 Share #63 Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) Fantastic detail! I have a penchant for the French ships of the 19th century. And the La Jacinthe is a wonderful example of the elegance of these sailing ships.

KORTES Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share #79 Posted March 21, 2019 I oil-coated it, I decided to coat the hull with linseed oil, hoping it would give a darker color than tung-oil on the deck. paulsutcliffe, Captain Poison, FriedClams and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KORTES Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share #80 Posted March 21, 2019 While the hull is drying, I decided to coat the deck with tung-oil. What can I say - the tung-oil is thicker than the oilseed oil. I richly coated the deck, the absorptivity is nice. My expectations that the deck would have lighter color weren’t fulfilled, but the aging effect was quite nice. I coated it in one layer, i think i’ll leave it at that, but it would be seen after polishing. muratx, bruce d, JOUFF and 20 others 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KORTES Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share #83 Posted March 26, 2019 While the hull is drying out, I got around to the carving. For quite some time, I have had a feeling I would have troubles in this field. Scale… I started by making the instrument, using broach files, drills, jigsaw saw and big needles.

KORTES Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share #84 Posted March 26, 2019 I decided to begin with what I considered the easiest element - the snake . I couldn’t find boxwood. I didn’t use lime tree due to its softness. So I have opted for a peartree, at least I’ll get some practice.I studied this part of work on the forum, of all my colleagues, found lots of useful information, for what I’m very grateful.

KORTES Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share #86 Posted March 26, 2019 I hope the carving work is done, being a dilettant - it was hard for me to carve at such a scale. Now I´ll have to oil-coat it, afterwards, probably cover it with bituminous varnish and install in place when the hull will have dried out.

KORTES Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share #88 Posted March 26, 2019 Aft end carving. It seems it looks ok in a life-size, but when substantially enlarged one can see faults that were made by the “carver”. druxey, paulsutcliffe, GrandpaPhil and 19 others 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
