Stuntflyer Posted January 28, 2022 Share #181 Posted January 28, 2022 Nice work, Frank! Tip: As you move further down the hull you can bevel the front of each plank. This will allow you to get a tight fit against the stem rabbit, with no gaps showing. Hope that makes sense.

Hice una corrección en el ancho de la capa superior de los tablones de la columna, reemplacé la fila superior porque olvidé medir el grosor exacto de las barras de los tablones de la columna 7/32 AYC. Por supuesto, son un poco más gruesos que 7/32, ya que Chuck nos da una buena relación calidad-precio. Así que también pedí la lijadora de espesor Byrnes. El total de 5 tablones de columna ahora es exactamente 35/32, y la curva de columna que fue determinada por el listón todavía se conserva. Mis tablones tendrán el grosor exacto que se indica en los planos a partir de ahora: ¡esto no me volverá a pasar! Saludos, franco Hello, great job, what red are you using, I think the Indian red is a little darker FrankWouts 1 -HMS Tritón 1/48 1773 en scracht (TERMINADO) -HMS Winchelsea 1/35 1764 full scracht (EN PROYECTO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankWouts Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share #188 Posted January 29, 2022 Thanks Chuck, Mike, Jorge and Kurt! And the likes which are always a big stimulus for me! @Jorge Diaz O I use vermillion red Humbrol 60 , as the Red Ochre color from Admiralty is too harsh to my eyes, too much towards redbrown/purplegrey/blue. I have it and I tested it and, though perfect paints they are, I personally don’t like this red ochre. Maybe this is because in my life I have seen too many window shutters and church doors in vermillion red on our antique houses and churches in Europe from the 17th and 18th century. The vermillion will shine through nicely after I’ll wash it later on with strongly dilluted darker redbrown oil paint like burnt sienna. You’ll have much nicer and warmer antique appearance afterwards. But I’m not sure if I’ll go ahead with this, as the vermillion as it is now looks beautiful to me. My photos and lighting aren’t what it should be, I’m not a photographer at all. The vermillion red looks more orangish, brownish than in the pictures. Also scaled down to 1:48 colors, should always be lighter and with little more grey tones in them than in real life. So an exact copy of the real color is wrong anyway in scale. Too dark and without the distance (waterdamp, dust in the air) grey tone effect in them.

glbarlow Posted January 29, 2022 Share #189 Posted January 29, 2022 I think whatever color you like is the color you should use, there is no right answer. It looks great.

Jorge Diaz O Posted January 30, 2022 Share #190 Posted January 30, 2022 15 hours ago, FrankWouts said: ¡Gracias Chuck, Mike, Jorge y Kurt! ¡Y los likes que siempre son un gran estímulo para mí! @Jorge Díaz O Uso rojo bermellón Humbrol 60, ya que el color Red Ochre de Admiralty es demasiado duro para mis ojos, demasiado hacia el marrón rojizo/gris púrpura/azul. Yo lo tengo y lo he probado y, aunque son pinturas perfectas, personalmente no me gusta este rojo ocre. Tal vez esto se deba a que en mi vida he visto demasiados postigos de ventanas y puertas de iglesias en rojo bermellón en nuestras casas e iglesias antiguas en Europa de los siglos XVII y XVIII. El bermellón brillará muy bien después de que lo lave más tarde con pintura al óleo marrón rojizo más oscuro fuertemente diluida como siena tostada. Tendrás una apariencia antigua mucho más agradable y cálida después. Pero no estoy seguro de seguir adelante con esto, ya que el bermellón como está ahora me parece hermoso. Mis fotos e iluminación no son lo que deberían ser, no soy fotógrafo en absoluto. El rojo bermellón se ve más anaranjado, parduzco que en las fotos. También reducidos a 1:48 colores, siempre deben ser más claros y con un poco más de tonos grises que en la vida real. Entonces, una copia exacta del color real es incorrecta de todos modos en escala. Demasiado oscuro y sin el efecto de tono gris de la distancia (humedad del agua, polvo en el aire) en ellos. Thanks for answering.

FrankWouts Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share #191 Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) Small Sunday afternoon update: one side ‘planking above the wales’ finished! Better than a jig saw puzzle, but slightly comparable in my opinion… Took me about three weeks off and on in my loft, so next update in three weeks hopefully.

FrankWouts Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share #202 Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) Thanks, Rusty and Dusan! I was anxious if the bow template would fit on my Winnie, and everything seems to be allright, it seems to fit within less than half a millimeter tolerance… I cut the portside one and turned it over by the way, the print is on the other side. The first thing I did not oversand I guess…LOL.
