Fright Posted March 6, 2020 Share #31 Posted March 6, 2020 Beautiful work on this ship! JayCub and GeorgeKapas 2 Quote Robert O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeKapas Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share #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 Barbossa, dvm27, Chapman and 12 others 15 Quote My builts: Greek ironclad Hydra - 1889 - 1/700 - scratchbuilt Royal Louis - Heller - 1/200 - plastic Sovereign of the Seas -Airfix- 1/168- plastic Completed 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 La Tartane - Heller - 1/150 - plastic British Bomb Ketch - Pyro - 1/150 - plastic HMS Victory rezzed into a 74 -Aifix- 1/180 - plastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yvesvidal Posted March 24, 2020 Share #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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeKapas Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share #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. shipman, yvesvidal, Blue Ensign and 1 other 4 Quote My builts: Greek ironclad Hydra - 1889 - 1/700 - scratchbuilt Royal Louis - Heller - 1/200 - plastic Sovereign of the Seas -Airfix- 1/168- plastic Completed 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 La Tartane - Heller - 1/150 - plastic British Bomb Ketch - Pyro - 1/150 - plastic HMS Victory rezzed into a 74 -Aifix- 1/180 - plastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
