Hermione by goemon - FINISHED - Artesania Latina - 1/89


Recommended Posts

This kit took 9 months to complete.

I think the production time for one day was 3-4 hours.

The hull was built in 3 months, and the mast and rigging took 9 months.

Box wood is used for the upper part of the hull.

The lower part of the hull uses wood from the kit.

The thickness of the bulkhead was as thin as 3mm, so I couldn't continue to make the bottom from here.

I cut and glued the remaining veneer board of the kit to the bulkhead .

At this time, I knew only balsa wood as the filler.

I didn't like balsa because the thumbtack doesn't work to planking.

Currently I use Absolute Falcata for the filler.

I added wale because it is flat and the tumble foam is loose.

The metal parts of Lower Teakney and Lower Gallery no longer fit.

In the assembly manual, the upper hull  will be added after trimming. It is easier to make it all at once.

The bottom of the ship was painted by mixing white and sail color at a ratio of 50%.

Since attaching the upper deck makes it difficult to manufacture, complete all outfitting before attaching.

The French ship noticed that the deck was curved according to the hull, but the plate attached to the kit could not reproduce the curve.

Thank you everyone for your compliment.

I didn't know the height of the railing on the upper back deck and the size of the notch in the gun because there is no drawing and no size entry.

Since the size of the grating was as large as a 2 mm grid, I changed it to a corel 1.5 mm grid.

The inside of the gun port is made of mahogany, and the outfit is made of walnut.
Two years ago, I didn't have the astringent red color, but if I make it now, I will paint it in the same red color as the alert I'm working on.

The head rail is lightly grooved and painted.

In the quarter gallery, the metal parts at the bottom did not fit, so I did not use it and made the bottom from wood.

The window frame of the stern gallery was glued from the inside to make it uneven.
I think it would have been better to make it as shown in the drawing and add the columns between the windows.

The boat was pasted with clinker.

Framed boats are well made as a kit accessory.

The channel chain was remade by silver wax welding.

The position was changed because the channel chain passes in front of the cannon.
It is difficult because there is no design drawing.
