DmitriyMarkov Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share #31 Posted January 31, 2020 Tree-nailing turns out to be even more repetetive than planking or making of armoured vehicles' running gear and tracks, so a good audio-book or a music concert is essential! Marking of a port-side took me a course of lectures on Franko-Prussian war of 1870 , Joe Bonamassa live from Royal Albert Hall concert and Francois Couperin Les Concerts Royaux 1722 CD 🙂 Now my daughter is watching Guardians of Galaxy and the whole movie length is just a one and a half row of nails ))) Henke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DmitriyMarkov Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share #32 Posted March 24, 2020 To all colleagues from around the globe - stay safe! That virus thing will end one day - that's for sure! Meanwhile working from home due to anti-virus measures doesn't improve the time I can spend on modelling ( how I hoped it would otherwice... ). So today I have only this photo to share: only one side is nearly finished and that's two months ( okay, there were two long holidays we've spent in a village so let that be a month and a half 😉 ) . So maybe by June I would be closer to paintwork. JayCub, Henke, DARIVS ARCHITECTVS and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DmitriyMarkov Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share #35 Posted September 20, 2020 tewatson, thank you for you kind words! Meanwhile I've finished tree-nailing lower part of the hull (some pics to come of course). Now I'm trying to come closer to paintwork - main idea is to combine painted parts with oiled parts. I've made a "training cat" out of scrap wood strips, tree-nailed it a bit, then divided it in four stripes - one covered with tung oil, one painted with white Vallejo primer made by airbrush, one with couple layers of black Vallejo primer and one with more layers of black et voila: Next I tried to follow the technology mr. Dmitry Shevelev uses in his beautiful models - a bitumen lacquer - to make the things look older: Well, a bit too old and dirty in my opinion - good, that I didn't try it right on a model 🙂 So a bit training still needed.

DmitriyMarkov Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share #36 Posted October 4, 2020 Greetings, everyone! How's the weather at your places? We are enjoying a very pleasant indian summer in Moscow these days - I cannot remember when the weather was this good at the beginning of october. Now I'm going to share a few pics - my main camera is malfunctioning so these were taken with a phone (sorry for quality). The progress is quite modest however - tree nailing below the wale - it took almost half a year to do, molding under rails (figured profile made with special scriber). Now marking places for smaller tree nails upwards from wale. KingDavid, Henke, GrandpaPhil and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavePete Posted December 8, 2020 Share #37 Posted December 8, 2020 looking very good. You have a lot of patience doing all of the tree nails. DmitriyMarkov 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DmitriyMarkov Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share #38 Posted March 27, 2021 Hi, dear colleagues! Thank you for your kind words and likes! Hope everyone is safe! There's no progress at all with Rattlesnake, but I've managed to bring back to life my old trustworthy Nikon D90 so - here's a new "photo session" -now with better light conditions and less grain due to normal optics.

DmitriyMarkov Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share #40 Posted April 2, 2021 Ladies and Gentlemen, to rescue please 😉 I beg you pardon my ignorance if I ask some obvious thing: Looking through period ships builds I've noticed that most of them have those fancy elements on keel area - horseshoe fore and swallow-tail at the aft. They are very attactive details I must admit and I'd like to introduce them on my model. However I've noticed that Model Shipways drawings lack either horseshoe and swallow-tail. What do you suggest - just do as I like, or would it be completely improper taking into account period and country ? (I've read somewhere that the shipbuilder who built original Rattlesnake was a self-taught man so he could introduce different approaches in his projects instead of following but one school either French or English ) Thank you Best Regards and happy modelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javajohn Posted August 7, 2021 Share #41 Posted August 7, 2021 Dmitriy, your Rattlesnake is looking great. It is my next build, which I hope to start in September. I hope that mine turns out half as good as yours. I'm getting a lot of inspiration from your posts!
