jaerschen Posted May 4, 2013 Share #1 Posted May 4, 2013 Hello, after I put off my Triton build I started a new project. Now I want to build the 50-Gun Ship HMS Leopard 1790 (POB) ,1/64 scale Therefor I bought the book The 50-Gun Ship from Rif Winfield. At this are the plans of the Leopard drawn by John McKay. I don’t make many words about the build of the frames because that’s often described here on MSW. Instead I show some photos.

Jim Lad Posted May 4, 2013 Share #2 Posted May 4, 2013 That looks very nice, Juergen. I like the way you have fitted the upper frames into the bulkheads! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaerschen Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share #6 Posted May 4, 2013 Thank you everyone for the kind comments. I like the way you have fitted the upper frames into the bulkheads! I had much trouble to find the right strake at the bulkheads. Than I filled the frames it was much easier Juergen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niklas Posted May 4, 2013 Share #7 Posted May 4, 2013 Hi Juergen. I will follow this build. Very nice work! Niklas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate adam Posted May 5, 2013 Share #8 Posted May 5, 2013 Very nice Juergen. I like how you combine the bulkheads and the solid sections. Tis should be a rock-solid model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaerschen Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share #9 Posted May 5, 2013 Hi Niklas and Adam, thanks for the kind words. It's going on with the Main Wale. I done it in the same manner as John McKay is shown at his plans. I made two templates at first because I must produce many equal pieces. Also it must drawn the postion of the Main Wales to the Frames. Thereafter began the agony Here's the result Juergen mtaylor, avsjerome2003, Ferit and 14 others 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaerschen Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share #15 Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Thanks every one, your kind comments are a great motivation for me. Quote Excellent work on the wales. So, I'm assuming the agony was worth it? I'm not sure. After the painting it is not a lot to view of that detail, Mark Quote nice to see you here! All the best, Daniel Yes, I'm back Daniel. But with a new nickname because my old one from MSW1.0 is already awarded.

Niklas Posted May 6, 2013 Share #16 Posted May 6, 2013 Wow! Great work with the main whale. I'm almost sad to hear you are going to paint it... Niklas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaerschen Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share #17 Posted May 6, 2013 Much thanks Niclas. Yes I painted the Main Wales black. A black Main Wale pleases me better. The Leopard build is just a practice for me to learn some new techniques. What I learned ... for the next Main Wales I will try ebony wood.

Jason Posted May 7, 2013 Share #18 Posted May 7, 2013 Excellent work Juergen. I will be following your progress on this build. I really like the way you made the hybrid, frame / bulkheads. How did you pick your subject? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiel Posted May 7, 2013 Share #19 Posted May 7, 2013 NIce work, what kind of wood is that in the upper part of the frames? greetings, Also from HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaerschen Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share #20 Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the kind comments Jason and Michiel @Jason I hope to understand your question, my english is a bit horrible It was always a dream of me to build a ship of this age, preferred a 74-Gun Ship. Two friends of mine, also model builder, gave the advice to the 50-Gun Ship at a model show, especially of the book from Rif Winfield. The result you can see, it was love at the first sight @Michiel It is beach wood how you can get it in a DIY market. I believe there is HD-Invasion on MSW Juergen Edited May 7, 2013 by jaerschen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted May 7, 2013 Share #21 Posted May 7, 2013 Juergen, Instead of paint which hides the details, think about using an ebony stain. You get the black without hiding the grain, treenails, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaerschen Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share #22 Posted May 7, 2013 Hi Mark, I think you are right, but I believe it's to late. Certainly the paint had closed the grain. Juergen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted May 8, 2013 Share #23 Posted May 8, 2013 Juergen, If it's already painted, yep, too late to stain unless you want to remove the paint. Maybe next time, my friend. I've used ebony woodstain on several projects and have been very happy with it. Beats having ebony dust on everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaerschen Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share #24 Posted May 8, 2013 Oh Mark, you put ideas into my head . Ok I need time to think Juergen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archjofo Posted May 11, 2013 Share #25 Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Hello Jürgen, nice to see your Leopard here. What a wonderful piece of work. A very fine model that you show us. Edited May 11, 2013 by archjofo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyposphagma Posted May 11, 2013 Share #26 Posted May 11, 2013 I believe there is HD-Invasion on MSW Hehe .....Btw reading the posts: i am searching for a source to get ebony wood from myself. I need some thin planks for a hull. If i should be successful i will let you know.... so you can buy your own. Better than ebony stain i think. I really dont get good results with stains.....

jaerschen Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share #27 Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the kind comment Johann, nice to see you also. Hehe .....Btw reading the posts: i am searching for a source to get ebony wood from myself. I need some thin planks for a hull. If i should be successful i will let you know.... Do you know this one http://www.modellbau-leisten.de/ . I got some ledges last week and the quality was well. I sanded one Main Wale today and used black stain from Clou. I don't got ebony stain on the qiuck. It looks much better than the black paiting. Edited May 11, 2013 by jaerschen mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyposphagma Posted May 12, 2013 Share #28 Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Thank you very much for the adress, Juergen. I will give it a try. Since he doesn`t have ebony in his lists i will call and ask if he provides. Looking forward to see new pictures of your Leopard. Have a nice sunday and a nice mother`s day to all mothers that might be here! :-) Edited May 12, 2013 by Hyposphagma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaerschen Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share #29 Posted May 12, 2013 . I will give it a try. Since he doesn`t have ebony in his lists i will call and ask if he provides. Could you tell me the result please. It's very interesting for me- And now to the idea from Mark If it's already painted, yep, too late to stain unless you want to remove the paint. Maybe next time, my friend I sanded the Main Wales about days and following this I used black stain. How shall I put it? You are right Mark, it looks mutch better. Thank you, the effort paid off. In fact it's much better to seen as at the photos. And also I planked the Lower Counter harvey1847, Jason, Bdk and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
