HMS EURYALUS by Matiz - FINISHED - scale 1:56

[druxey]

A bin usually has a lid, not a door. Is this the case here? 

[allanyed]

Druxey I agree that this was normally the case but  I remember seeing doors on the side of the bins on a drawing.   This was quite a few years ago, so I'm not sure which ship/drawing.  Time to dig out the old rolls of paper plans and take a look see.

There is a nice discussion of the bread bin configuration in Euryalus vol 1, p. 111.  Your final conclusions (door or lid) will be defensible in either case.  I did not find a treatment of the matter in Goodwin.  Lavery, p. 189 states that bread was wrapped was not stored in casks, hence I suppose the bins.  Perhaps the bread room employed racks.  I looked in TFFM but did not find anything in a quick search.

Thanks Wayne, 

Your memory of our conversation is waaaayyyy better than mine and I appreciate you posting about this.    I knew this had been researched, just could not remember the circumstance.

Cheers

Thanks for the explanations, I translated page 111 of the first volume, as mentioned, every space on the ship was precious, so, logically, it could also have been a high wall wrapped in tin with racks and an access door

Hi🙂

[allanyed]

Ciao Matiz,

 

Sorry if you posted about this previously, but what is the material you are using for the bolts?  When we worked on Euryalus I used blackened brass but since then I have gone to copper.  The bolt can be inserted, cut, filed, cleaned (this is critical to get out copper filings) and then blackened in  place with liver of sulfur. 

 

Your build is inspiring!!!

Hi Allan, I use walnut, in this case of 7/10, for the hull, nails of 4/10

Hello,
what a fantastic work.

I admire all who can do this kind of modeling.
But in your case a particularly clean and precise work.
 

[allanyed]

Matiz,

Sorry amico, but I have a few questions, I hope you don't mind😁    How are you drawing the walnut down so small and so well?  I use a Byrnes plate and find bamboo works best for me, but never tried walnut.   Do you know what species of walnut?    

Thanks!!!

Walnut or Mansonia, mansonia is the best, but tossic

Need to find a nut and plant it for..... the next generation of ship modelers.   Very pretty wood!

Thanks Matiz

I just paged through your build and I have no appropriate words for the artistry, attention to detail and craftmanship you have put into this build. BRAVO!

[USNCHief013107]

May I ask where you obtained your plans that are shown in your photos?

[matiz]

Hello, and thank you, the plans are those of the monograph published by Sea Watch

[matiz]

Matiz

Looking forward to your next post and photos!!   

 

We are scheduled to dock (Celebrity Reflection)  in La Spezia September 25th.   I know Pisa is not too far and if you have some time, I truly hope we can meet and have lunch together, (and maybe see Euryalus😀)   

 

Ciao

Very nice work Matiz!

These fully framed models are such an accomplishment to build. Hats off!

 

I have a question out of curiosity - the scale. The monographs from SeaWatch are given in 1:48 but you appear to build in 1:56? Which is slightly smaller of course. I am just curious.

 

Keep it up!
