NMBROOK Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share #141 Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) I have decided to concentrate on detailing the bulkhead before fitting the sides to the prow,simply to make access easier.I include a snipet of the van de velde artwork I am working to.The plan is to start at the bottom and work my way up.The first job is to replicate the frames around the lower charactures.I cut a piece of !mm pear strip and cut out apertures for the carvings.Rather than leave the corners sharp like in the artwork,I decided to put 0.5mmx0.5mm chamfers on with the scalpel.I feel that this looks much better.The next task is to carve the six pediments with the climbing foliage that sit below the figurines.These will fit on the vertical sections between the panel cutouts.

Ferit Posted August 9, 2013 Share #145 Posted August 9, 2013 I wish this was available as a kit rather than a monthly partwork series. Sometimes it's stuffy to ameliorete, to rebuild kit parts if you are too busy on the work but it's much more satisfying to make your own... Sometimes a little scratch gives more delightful flavor than building a full kit... mtaylor and NMBROOK 2 Quote Best Regards… Ferit KUTLU Under construction: Frigate Berlin (Brandenburg Navy) Hope: Frigate Wappen Von Hamburg (Brandenburg Navy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMBROOK Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share #146 Posted August 9, 2013 Hi Brian Are you aware the only bits I have used from the partwork are the bulkheads and false keel so far?Apart from said items the rest is scratchbuilt.The standard build bears little or no resemblance to my model.If they bring it out as a kit,like they did with victory,I don't think it would be able to compete with sergal's as it would be around the same price.The standard model is far from accurate.If I was to build this model again,I would start with sergal's plans and scratchbuild,altering the details that are incorrect.

AVBiker Posted August 9, 2013 Share #147 Posted August 9, 2013 Hi Nigel At first: My englisch is very bad. It is from the school bevore 50 years. Sorry. Im working at one year for the Sovereign of the seas from Sergal, but my ship is very different to this. Im looking the book from Busmann for sculpture and the Website from http://www.schifferlbauer.at My sculptures are also working for Dental-Machine. Here look any pictures for my Sovereign.

NMBROOK Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share #148 Posted August 9, 2013 Excellent work Hubert I too am using Busmann's book.I can see you have amended alot of the inaccuracies of sergals kit.She will be a fantastic model once complete.

NMBROOK Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share #149 Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) I first cut six pear blocks to the correct overall size of the pediments.The back face of these was bonded onto the end of some boxwood strip for handling.I set a jig up on the pillar drill(no miller yet)and cut the scallops in the front face.I then set another jig up to cut small slots on the sides to create the top cap.By doing these two operations,it should make it easier to carve them consistantly.I think the pictures are fairly self explanatory.
