Fright Posted March 6, 2020 #31 Posted March 6, 2020 Beautiful work on this ship! JayCub and GeorgeKapas 2 Quote Robert O
GeorgeKapas Posted March 24, 2020 Author #32 Posted March 24, 2020 Sorry for returning to finished topics...I did this with the Bomb ketch because I decided to add sails. Technically the ship is unaltered and finished, but now with the lockdown I gave a try making my first diorama and sea. The ship's hull is unaltered, it sits in a recess in the water. There is also a small dock to scale next to it. I am quite pleased, this was my first attempt making water DanB, WalrusGuy, Morgan and 12 others 15 Quote Current scratch builts: Greek brig Ares - 1/144 Greek frigate Hellas - 1/144 -Soon Greek corvette Loudovikos - 1/144 - Soon Greek steam sloop Karteria - 1/144 - Soon Greek ship of the line Emmanuil - 1/144 - Soon Completed scratch models: Ottoman Ship of the Line Mahmudiye - 1/350 - scratchbuilt 17th century Venetian galley by GeorgeKapas - 1/350 - scratchbuilt Armored cruiser Georgios Averof - 1/700 - scratchbuilt Greek steam sloop Karteria - 1/350 - Soon
yvesvidal Posted March 24, 2020 #33 Posted March 24, 2020 Very well done. Congratulations. I would place a couple of lines to tie the vessel to the pier. The illusion will then be complete. Yves Quote
GeorgeKapas Posted March 24, 2020 Author #34 Posted March 24, 2020 You are right she needs a few lines. Thing is, the ship is full hull and that would tie her to the base as well as the pier XD. Here is the base before final gloss coat etc. docidle, yvesvidal, shipman and 1 other 4 Quote Current scratch builts: Greek brig Ares - 1/144 Greek frigate Hellas - 1/144 -Soon Greek corvette Loudovikos - 1/144 - Soon Greek steam sloop Karteria - 1/144 - Soon Greek ship of the line Emmanuil - 1/144 - Soon Completed scratch models: Ottoman Ship of the Line Mahmudiye - 1/350 - scratchbuilt 17th century Venetian galley by GeorgeKapas - 1/350 - scratchbuilt Armored cruiser Georgios Averof - 1/700 - scratchbuilt Greek steam sloop Karteria - 1/350 - Soon
