HMS EURYALUS by Matiz - FINISHED - scale 1:56


Recommended Posts

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

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!!!

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!!!

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

Thanks 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!

 

Happy modelling!

Håkan
