glbarlow Posted January 28, 2023 Share #332 Posted January 28, 2023 Maybe for our German friend, in this context “ridiculous’ is American vernacular for “incredible.” Not sure how our younger generation gave this word two meanings that can only be sorted by context but they did. Those with English as a second language probably just shake their heads. Your work with ivory is incredible, your Winnie is really special.

Beckmann Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share #333 Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Thank you all. Glbarlow, I thought it would be something like that. But thanks as well for your explanation!! Next challenge is the breastrail. I am in the middle of it.

Beckmann Posted March 6, 2023 Author Share #335 Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) That was a long break for Winchelsea now, I had to do something against the mice under our living-room flooring. Then, more fun, some macro planking These old Floorboards are wonderful stuff. About 200 years old. Just lovely. Anyway, back to my breastrail I first made a jig for the detailed profiles, to get them all in line around the columns. Next step was sanding the profiles in a nice shape ... and polishing each corner to get this lovely dull gloss, wich this material has, when being polished. ... cutting the collumns in the right length and assemblying everything... Finally the installment on the model... This almost finishes chapter 10. I have to do the eyebolts for the guns on the quarterdeck and then proceed to chapter 11.

Beckmann Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share #339 Posted March 7, 2023 Thank you for your comments and likes. The mice are gone. I filled the hole they came in with concrete and completely filled the space under the flooring with insulation. It is actually much wormer now. scrubbyj427, CiscoH and FrankWouts 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to make another set, send them my way😳😂 That is really excellent work, just one would be impressive, having so many absolutely identical is really amazing.

Beckmann Posted May 2, 2023 Author Share #348 Posted May 2, 2023 Hello Everybody, thank you very much for your nice comments! I continued chapter 11 with the deadeyes and chainplates. It is all so well explained in Chucks instructions, there is not much to say about it. It all worked very well. The only bigger problem was to not stretch the acrylic chains too much, so they remain close. I tried the position in advance and made a hole with a needle, where the brass-nail is supposed to be. That worked quite well, I hope you know, what I mean. So here are some photos of the result. I also installed all the guns on the lower gundeck. I followed stuntflyers method and pinned them onto the deck with brass-nails, so they cannot get lost. I will now proceed to the next chapter and think about, if I will add the swifel guns or not. They are a nice feature, but somehow interrupt the lovely flow of the quarterdeck-rail.

Beckmann Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share #353 Posted June 20, 2023 Thank you, I continued with the head-rails of the gallion. I must say, this is by far the most challenging part of the whole model. I messed up the first pair of headrails and had to ask for a new set, wich Chuck immediately sent to me. Thanks for that!! I started all over again. Every part here is important for the whole appearance of the construction. Ther are plenty of graceful curves and angles. If any of them are out of place, the whole construction looks weird. Here are the new headrails, I tried to remove most of the laser-char. First parts are in position now.

Beckmann Posted July 3, 2023 Author Share #356 Posted July 3, 2023 Thank you, I continued with the gratings between the rails. The triangular gratings in the corners of the bow-area, I made separately with a template. I glued the parts on the template, assembled everything, cleaned it, painted it again an glued it to the model. Then the facilities and false rails were added, and finally the figure-head. I have been waiting long for this point. What a lovely figure. I actually like it, that it is not a warrior or something like that, but a musician. Remembering, that securing the peace should alway be the goal for every army or navy.

dvm27 Posted July 3, 2023 Share #358 Posted July 3, 2023 Beautiful work Matthias! It must have anguished you to have to cut the upper scrollwork and stem to fit the figurehead but it is invisible now. Is that just a quirk of your models or did others need to do the same?

Beckmann Posted July 3, 2023 Author Share #359 Posted July 3, 2023 Hi Greg, I actually don't know. I used all the laser cut parts and did not alter anything. But when I put the figurehead on the model, it somehow did not fit properly. The position was too far forward. So the only posibility was to cut the scrollwork or to cut away a part of the arm of the figurehead. I took the scrollwork.
